Lincoln Creative Writers

This company contacted me, promising they could have a book I wrote edited, formatted, published on 50 separate formats, and marketed. They were careful not to promise how many books would be sold. The only issues is that they were grossly negligent in all the other promises. After nearly a year, they hadn't come close to successfully editing the book. After I complained, they sent me a "final draft." Not only was it not edited, they completely left out a number of chapters. Hardly ready for publishing. Eventually, I paid another business to proofread and format the book. They did so in 5 days. I self published on Amazon. I asked for a refund. They said, instead of a refund, how about we offer you 6 months of marketing. I reluctantly agreed but did not sign any change in contract. After 6 months and zero sales (outside of the copies I purchased) I asked if they really marketed the book. They claimed they had. I can't imaging that this company has a marketing department that is so incompetent that they were able to sell a single book. With the right marketing, people have literally sold a book with blank pages. I asked where my "project manager's" office was. They claimed to be in New York. I ran a check on the number they called from. It was a spoof number, purchased somewhere in outside ConUS. This company is involved in clear, nefarious activity and deserves some investigating and red flags put in place to protect consumers. I've opened an investigation with the Better Business Bureau and will file a lawsuit. "

I gave this business 1 star only because there were no negative ratings available. They promised a laundry list of items in the package I purchased. It took them nearly 1 year to get from proof to publication on Amazon. They overcharged, made unnecessary charges, and delivered on nothing. Wound up doing most of the project myself anyway. "

zero stars. Poor quality product. Don't adhere to edits. Don't honor money back guarantee. Suspect business. Address invalid "
