Aspire Publishing Hub exist to defraud people of their hard earned money.
I was asked to pay $1,500 for republishing and $2,400 for insurance so that my book, "The Laws of Relationship," can be republished and marketed throughout the US. Unfortunately, they were all lies. I had to borrow the $2,400 and I told the person in contact with me, Joe Chavez, who claimed to be my literary agent. I still remember the pains of the repayment. They are extremely wicked people. This I recall today and wish to warn anyone who intending to engage their services to resist the terrible temptation of doing so.

Very disappointing with this company
Very disappointing with this company! I would not recommend. You first talk to one senior consultant and then you get assigned to another one. Then sure enough multiple people call you and then everything gets construed and mixed up and confused. Then they really ticked off my illustrator, as they demanded the file numerous times. Then they sent me the book with the script over the book, so all my texts words were all on the pages and you couldn't read them in black and then white ink. Then they just deformed and distorted my illustrators images and then they finally got it right. They're making me go get my copyright certificate and they wanted in my KDP credential account and I refuse. Amazon said, don't do it. Then my bank card and everything's in there. They said they can't see my credentials like that but then they can per Amazon. So the book finally got send to me on yhe email. I'm asking just for a paperback,which I won't get unless I hire a boomnorinting company. Never again. Oh and my
senior consultant is very domineering. I won't lie to tell the truth for any review. All this was, was about the money.

Hello Michelle,
From the very beginning, it has truly been a pleasure communicating with you. You've been kind, thoughtful, and enthusiastic throughout the process. However, we’d like to share some important points for clarity regarding the recent challenges in finalizing your book.
When your illustrator was brought in to assist with the images, the dynamics of the publishing process began to shift. Unfortunately, despite having limited experience in publishing, he began to take control in ways that disrupted our workflow. This created avoidable delays and confusion for everyone involved.
One critical issue we faced was the refusal to provide source files for the illustrations. These files are essential for adjusting layout and dimensions, especially in children’s books, and not having access made it extremely difficult to proceed smoothly.
Your book has actually been complete for several weeks now. However, your request for us to publish the book under your personal KDP author account without granting us any access or providing the necessary credentials is simply not possible for any Publisher. Another standard route many authors choose is to upload the finalized files themselves, but that option was also declined.
Despite our continued efforts to offer support (even without additional charges), your illustrator continued to intervene, often misguiding you into believing that we could somehow publish the book on your KDP account without any direct access. This misunderstanding caused prolonged frustration, and eventually, you ceased communication though we’ve remained available and willing to help.
Regarding the copyright page, we asked for confirmation or documentation that your book is officially copyrighted, which is a standard industry practice to ensure legal protection and legitimacy.
As for physical copies, printing and shipping paperbacks always involve additional costs, depending on the quantity and delivery. These are either billed separately or included in specific publishing packages. Since you opted for our Basic Plan, which is designed to cover digital publishing only, no extra charges were applied beyond what you initially paid.
In all honesty, we believe this experience could have been much smoother and more enjoyable for both sides had there not been external interference. We still believe you're a wonderful individual with a lovely vision for your book, and it’s unfortunate that the process was impacted in this way by a third party.
We’ve successfully helped hundreds of authors publish their work, and we genuinely hoped this journey would be just as seamless and fulfilling for you.
Wishing you all the best moving forward, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you decide to continue.
Warm regards,
Team Aspire

Aspire refuses to respond to my certified letters or telephone calls. At the end of last year, Aspire published my book and put it on Amazon and Barnes and Noble without advising ahead of time. I complained about the cost of the "third party" involved in marketing my book, and Aspire shut down. I filed with the California BBB and am not filing with the California Attorney General's Office. Stay far away from this company.

We are sorry to hear about your experience, but there seems to be a mix-up as Aspire Book Publishers has no record of publishing your book. It looks like this review might be intended for another company with a similar name. Please reach out to the correct company to resolve your concerns. If you need any assistance, we are here to help.
Regards
