Two months ago I was in a quandary. The publishing company I was working with to publish my first Book -Thirteen Witnesses, Testimonies on the Passion and Death of Jesus Christ as they Relate to Truth - went out of business, midway in the finalization of printing and at before marketing had begun. When trying to salvage my situation, I spoke with Ted Baker and Chad Wilson of Amazon Publishing Assistants. Although I was initially skeptical of their ability to help, I decided to give them a try and in about six weeks they successfully reformatted my book and put the hardcover version on line, both of which the previous company did very badly. They have established an Instagram Account for my book, are presently reworking my author's website, and are in final stages of a comprehensive global marketing plan. I now have every confidence that my book will get the exposure it needs to be successful.

Simply follow ALL my Reviews of this company: AMAZON PUBLISHING ASSISTANTS! This will tell you all you need to know about them. Don't waste a cent dealing with them. They are prompt in "SETTING UP" accounts; they play the "AVOIDANCE GAME" when you need therm to correct their...inadequate [service]! Their biggest "Perp" is Dan Martinez.

The "project managers" you deal with are pleasant people, but they will not actually read your book. They will get your book published, but you must do all the editorial work. Yes, you'll get a nice cover, professional layout, etc. You'll get an actual book out of the process, but don't expect help with the content. Most of the books I sold were due to my own contacts, not anything that they did. Was it worth the money? Not sure. If I write another book, I will go through the amazon kdp process on my own for far less money.

Its been almost 8 months, an STILL NO Replacement books! "Run from these people!"

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the team at Amazon Publishing Assistants for doing an outstanding job with my first book. Chad Wilson and Ted Baker were incredibly cooperative—always returning my calls within a couple of hours and guiding me through the many steps of the publishing process with patience and professionalism. I’m also grateful to the talented team behind the scenes who worked on my manuscript and helped create a beautiful cover. If you’re unsure about who to trust with your first book, give Chad Wilson and Ted Baker a call. You’ll be in great hands.

This company does not have the expertise necessary for what they claim they can do. They took more than six months to publish my novel, and all through the process, I had to help them correct the basic steps of even formatting. They did not even know that when you open a published book, the title of the book will be on the right page, not the left. They still have not been able to publish my hardcover edition on IngramSpark or Amazon, or Barnes & Noble. For what they have completed so far, there have been errors, errors, and errors, which I had to help them correct. They refuse to fulfill their contract and return my files, which are the intellectual property of the author. The contract calls for a refund of my payment due to dissatisfaction, which they have not processed.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience with Amazon Publishing Assistance regarding the publishing and marketing of my book. Despite my initial enthusiasm, I have faced numerous challenges that have left me feeling undervalued as an author. My book was originally scheduled for publication on December 10, 2024, but was unexpectedly delayed to January 13, 2025, causing me to miss the crucial Christmas and New Year market. After weeks of silence and lack of communication, I learned from a new project manager that the previous PM had been let go for poor performance. While I hoped this change would bring improvement, the problems continued. I expected a robust marketing strategy when I purchased APA’s Marketing Package during a Cyber Monday sale. Unfortunately, the marketing team was just as disorganized as the publishing team. I spent countless hours bringing the new manager up to speed with my submitted documents, yet progress was inefficient, and my requests were often met with silence or inadequate responses. The stress from this uncertainty has been overwhelming. I paid upfront for both publishing and marketing services but received delayed publishing and unprofessional marketing delivery. Frustrated, I have formally requested a cancellation and full refund of my marketing investments multiple times over the past two months, and communicating my intention to impose an additional 5% interest per day on my reimbursement balance from March 25th. Yet, I have only received vague email responses like, “I have forwarded your request to the Finance department; someone will reach out to you tomorrow,” or “I’ll inform them.” Three weeks later, no one has contacted me! Moreover, I upgraded my website based on APA's recommendations, investing significant time and effort to ensure compatibility with their marketing software. This change resulted in lost data and hours of work that I have yet to recover. Overall, my experience with APA has been detrimental to my project. I urge other authors to proceed with caution. I have lost faith in their ability to deliver on their promises, and the lack of accountability and support has made this a regrettable partnership.

I want to express my gratitude for the professional devotion of Chad Wilson and his boss Ted Baker in the handling of my book: :"Call it Genocide." They were dealing with a new and difficult format that is used for stage plays and had to guide the typing and editing staff on many occasions. In spite of many frustrating experiences, they persisted until everything was up to standard. Both Chad and Ted have been with me all throughout the process of publication and have given me the assurance that every author needs. I therefore highly recommend Chad and Ted to the management of Amazon Publishing, and to future clients. Again, I thank them for their service to myself, and to Amazon.
