I should have read the below review… I should have read the below review first. I fell for the PBW heist. The contract is worthless, they keep asking for thousands of dollars more, no further contract. It's a scam. Do not use them. I copied the below statement from another victim, it states exactly what happened to me. 'Penguin Book Writers lures first time authors into thinking they will get support to put their book online with Amazon and other entities. The first contract is a BAIT and the following "CONTRACTS" acting as the SWITCH. All of a sudden, they go from person to person and then bring up ridiculous prices for things like ISBNs and Copyrights - including the fact they are trying to charge you for "Annual Renewals". Guess what? ISBN's and Copyrights DO NOT REQUIRE ANNUAL RENEWALS! Marketing contracts are followed up with offers to do more for tens of thousands of dollars. I filed a complaint with the FTC and a review with the BBB. Beware of Penguin Book Writers. They are a complete scam of a company!' YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED - DO NOT FALL FOR THEIR BAIT AND SWITCH OPERATIONS!

Penguin Book Writers is a scam company Penguin Book Writers lures first time authors into thinking they will get support to put their book online with Amazon and other entities. The first contract is a come on. Suddenly they bring up ridiculous prices for things like ISBNs and Copyrights.

I lost $8500 AUD I lost $8500 AUD. They did not take me through the proper process. In other words what I paid for I was never going to receive. The so called evaluations I received appeared to be AI generated with no call to action. I formally terminated the contract and no final invoice received. I have reported these people to the FBI for investigation. Referring to Penguin's reply below, if you were a legitimate business I would happily do so. To prove that please show evidence of your business name registration and the legal entity that you purport to sign contracts with authors. In reference to your amended reply below I note that you have not proven that you are a legitimate business. If you were I would not have any need to put a review in.

Shawn Michael and his Team. I need to tell everyone how wonderful Penguin Book Writers are. I worked with Shawn Michael and his team through most of the process. He was outstanding, he listened to me and did everything I asked of him and his team. I am chapters into my next book, and I look forward to sending to Penguin Book Writers again. I also look forward to working with Shawn and his team again.
