Review: Native Book Publishing - Be Careful Before You Sign ⭐ 1/5 I’m writing this review to warn other authors considering Native Book Publishing. The pricing was far above market. The quote I was given was roughly 300% higher than what comparable publishing services charge. When I looked into it, I found the same services available elsewhere for a fraction of the cost. The costs kept growing after I signed. Once the agreement was signed, the company started adding new services I had not expected, including an additional $2,500 for publishing on different platforms. That was never made clear up front, and it felt like the real price only came out after I was committed. Communication changed after payment. Before signing, the sales team was responsive and encouraging. Afterward, I felt pressured into upsells instead of being given clear answers about what was already included in my package. My advice to other authors: Get every service and fee in writing before you sign Ask directly whether distribution to other platforms is included Compare quotes from at least two or three other publishers or self-publishing services Read the whole agreement carefully, especially anything about add-ons I expected transparency and fair pricing, and that is not what I experienced. I cannot recommend this company. Tips before you post: Only include details that are true and that you can back up (contracts, invoices, emails). Factual, first-hand reviews are protected, while exaggerated claims can cause problems. I wrote “in my experience” style wording on purpose and avoided words like “scam” or “fraud,” which can create legal risk if you can’t prove them. If you’d like, add specifics such as the date you signed, the total you were quoted, and the final amount you were charged. Concrete numbers make the review more credible. Consider also filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau or the FTC (ftc.gov) if you believe you were misled.

This publishing house, based on my difficult experience, is nothing other than [someone/a party] with unfulfilled promises and empty assurances; they forever postpone the execution of the contract, provide no help whatsoever, and do nothing but rob their clients.

I would strongly caution anyone considering Native Publishing. My experience was extremely disappointing and raised serious concerns about their business practices. From the beginning, communication felt inconsistent and unclear. Promises were made about timelines, deliverables, and support that were either delayed significantly or never fully met. Once payment was made, the level of responsiveness dropped noticeably, which made it difficult to get updates or resolution to ongoing issues. What stood out most was the lack of transparency. Key details about services, expectations, and outcomes were not clearly outlined upfront, and I often felt like I was getting vague or shifting answers when I asked for clarification. At times, it felt more like a transactional relationship than a professional partnership invested in my success. In addition, the value of what was delivered did not match what was advertised. The quality and level of service did not align with the cost, and I was left feeling like I did not receive what I paid for. I encourage anyone considering working with Native Publishing to do thorough research, ask very detailed questions, and get everything in writing before committing financially. Based on my experience, I would not recommend their services.

This facebook page is run by pakistani scammers who target innocent people in the US I have a completed record of people scammed by The Native Publishers along with all supporting data Even the Merchant details are available if reported to the US police it could prevent further financial losses for many US citizens these scammers and their merchants must be caught.

Goods and ok

First, I'm a ghostwriter. I've walked authors through self-publishing for over 10 years. I have 3 main publishers I work with, but was doing a piece for a publication on vanity presses. I had 7 (SEVEN) different account managers in 2 years. RIP Jessica. Donald. Ronald. Ali. And so many more.) The entire process took about 2 years. It took that long because the company would stop responding, claim they went bankrupt and then offer free services (which never happened) and apologies. I was fine walking, (I paid $500 total.) UNTIL.... I found out they falsified ISBN numbers. They claimed the numbers were NOT falsified, (they don't exist,) but rather, "when the old company went bankrupt, they scammed everyone." They couldn't possibly supply new numbers, so that would have been a loss. What did I get for my $500? Not a bad deal, but absolute hell to work with: 3 rounds of proofreading. (This was fine.) A fully-laid out book with over 100+ revisions. (No, that's not wrong. They were the worst and kept adding weird characters and items in. Clearly early-stage AI.) A decent cover design. (Never got final files, but they were easy enough to convert.) 2, Falsified ISBN numbers. (That could have landed an author in a BOATload of trouble.) 2+ years of communications going, "wait, you guys went out of business.. again?" So no one else has to deal with what I did: Ali seems to be the current person in charge. This is his personal email: AliATthenativepublishers.com. Ronald Tingey is someone else over there. This is what he emailed me from: ronaldATtexturadigitals.com (which is no doubt a partner company.) What was I supposed to get for $500? A crazy story, apparently. A fully, laid-out e-book and print book. Cover design. 6 months of social media, (thanks, Jessica!) A full KDP plan and dashboard. ISBN numbers (3: e-book, hardcover and softcover.) Proofreading. Coaching (3 months.) Would I do it again? No. Because I love myself. Did I get anything I was promised? Not really. Did I just send this all to my editor after asking them 5x in the past 3 months if they really wanted to claim bankruptcy again? Yup. Avoid, but do it if you want a crazy story.

They took my money and shut down bad experience they became native publishers they use to be amazon publishing library. Jessica I worked with promised me but lied and had no contact. Now I keep calling the phone does not work atleast not now also took my money made a website and they shut it down. Now I am out that too he kept calling me with promotions when she knew business was closing one person gave me heads up she denied it . Lies lies no contact so far.

They closed and didn't tell their customers, just took our money and ran. If you get a call from them or a hold of them, don't do business with them. My experience started off great with the Project Manager i was assigned. But as of today, I have not heard from them or anyone for a few weeks. And the call system is down. How workable for them.
