A TOTAL SCAM.
On 7.27.22 I entered into an agreement with Elite Book Writing to publish and market my already completed novel.
I chose the 3-month plan which offered a money back guarantee if they didn’t sell 1000 copies of my book within that 3-month period.
I met every financial obligation required, for these 1000 copies to sell. This financial obligation was inclusive of a very expensive marketing plan.
I was told I had to print 1000 copies of my book-450 paperbacks and 450 hard copies. Printing cost of $9000.
Adam Russell was my project manager. I wanted to print 100 of each, seeing how the books would sell. He discouraged me from doing this stating that the book would be selling in bulk quickly and if I didn’t have the 1000 copies, the printing would be slowed down and the customers ordering would have to wait for a longer period to rec. the books they paid for. I didn’t want my customers having to wait for their purchase to arrive, I agreed to the 1000 copies.
As of 4.26.23. They have only sold 27 paperbacks and 7 hard copies. No bulk sales.
I asked Adam repeatedly why my books were not selling in bulk, he informed me that the distributors would only buy the books if I had 1500 to 5000 copies to sell. He stated that he had distributors ready to purchase, but of course I would have to pay to print these additional copies at a cost of thousands and thousands of dollars to me.
I refused to print further copies, as my 1000 copies had not sold.
Adam stated that we needed to begin a new marketing plan to sell the remaining copies at an additional cost to me.
I adamantly refused, insisting that I speak to his supervisor regarding the 1000 copies they guaranteed would sell within 3 months. Supervisor Steve Alfonso contacted me
on April 26th assuring me a new marketing plan would be developed at no additional cost to me . The last book they sold was on April 9, 2023.
6.21.23 I requested a refund of $7800 for books not sold. No one is responding to me.
