Austin Macauley Publishers Ltd. Avis 

Delighted with the result although I don't have a hard copy yet. Process was very slow with weeks if not months of silence. When I asked questions in emails they were rarely if ever answered - or even acknowledged as having been asked. One question I asked three times over a number of weeks but no answer - I began to wonder whether I was dealing with an AI Bot. Corrections I made in the manuscript were sometimes ignored so I had to do them again. Other than that I am pleased with the result.

Austin Macauley is a great publisher to work with and I speak based on the treatment I received. One thing many forget is if you are working with other humans they have emotions and how you speak to them would determine if they’d be interested in working further with you.

I have evaluated previous comments and it initially almost scared me a year ago when I started the journey with them. But I am glad I had a good experience and it was worth the journey.

My collection “The hymns of a deepman” is also on many platforms across the world. They have also offered insights and promotion. Also invited me for book fairs. And submitted for awards.

I enjoyed working with them and if you an author I can guarantee you if you work with them you’d have a good experience. Just try not to disrespect individuals.

Publishers would do as much as they can to help you. It’s left for your talent to sell itself. So far, people have loved my book and the quality. Looking to hit millions of copies in sales but that comes from making a name for myself of which I would.

So fellow writers thinking on if this is a good step. Yes it is… and it’s worth every effort, resource or time invested.

They have also provided me with an authors website. Its all love here…

Extra help. Austin Macaulay helped me because I am internet and media ignorant. The art department is number one. They are the best. I wanted to traditional publish. I believe if Austin Macaulay would have sent me a million dollars advance they will still have made money. My book is selling all around the world. Love you guys

Very good communication with Macauley Publishers, and they listened to my own suggestions. Highly recommendable.

Austin Macauley Publishers tried their best to answer my inquiries promptly. Apart from the novel taking quite a while to edit and finish, I could not see any other negative contrast; I can understand that the lengthy process was necessary for the novel's completeness.

My book is due to be released early January 2025. It has been a true pleasure working with Austin Macauley. From day one, every aspect of the process has been handled with the utmost professionalism. All tasks were completed on time, and I was consistently impressed with their prompt responses to any correspondence. No inquiry went unanswered, and all concerns were addressed immediately. I highly recommend Austin Macauley without hesitation for anyone seeking a reliable and professional publishing partner." Therese Rodrigo

Austin Macauley have supported me during my first foray into the world of publishing. They firstly gave me a wonderful report on why they wanted to publish my book which has given me the confidence to begin writing my second novel! As a new writer they have guided through the process and I can't wait for my book to be published in a matter of weeks now. Exciting !!

All departments at Austin Macauley have been professional, very supportive and informative. They respond quickly to any questions, they have listened to my suggestions and the creation of my book has been a very collaborative and exciting process.

The review board to the production staff to the marketing team did everything they said they would do per the agreed upon contract. My novel was produced and delivered on time and published on the retailer sites right on time. My novel looks fantastic. Here's to hoping it catches fire>

I don't want to even leave 1star.am published my book in 2019 didn't listen to the bad reviews to my cost they are brilliant in every way until they have your money.i am not writing this because my book didn't sell I am writing this because I would not like to see other people wasting time and money.this really is a scam.i am out of my contract and could not be happier.you are throwing your money away and when you realise this please write a review like I have to try to deter others from doing the same

Editing done by computer using American English for my very English book so I edited it myself. Artwork for the cover was computer generated so I took my own photo for it. They did no marketing at all that I could detect so I promoted the book myself. I could have saved money by going to an honest vanity publisher but was taken in by their slick presentation.

It was a a really fun experience seeing my work come alive. I looked forward to the correspondence which I knew was getting my book nearer to publishing.

From the very first letter I received confirming that Austin Macauley was willing to go into partnership with me to publish my book. I knew I was onto a winner

My book was terminated by Publisher Austin Macaulay out of the blue with a very short notice. It took them 2 years to proof read the book and got it wrong every time. I paid them a lot of money over £3000 to publish the book. They promised me everything and came up with nothing. I am shocked and very upset as they said the book was not selling enough on Amazon and other sites. I complained to Austin Macauley several times as I could not find the book on Amazon the book in general had very poor marketing. This issue was not resolved either, they said it wasn't down to them but Amazon to list the book correctly. On the whole this is a very bad experience for me. If anyone is considering a publisher do not go with Austin Macauley they are expensive and rubbish and cannot come up with anything positive. I now have found a new publisher and they are amazing, they have been so very helpful giving me ideas and are very inexpensive. Again Austin Macauley just take your money and promise you everything they are crap.

Every stage in the publishing of the story of Clement has been a pleasure. It was facilitated by pleasant, efficient and informative staff.

It has been hard work with AM. It had been hard work throughout the process tbh - continually chasing them - the delays were worse and they even kept getting my cover designs wrong. I have invested a lot of money with AM. Poor marketing, hence very poor returns on royalties and no response from them when logging complaints. Not sure what more I can do if they will not respond to complaints which is not very good except to vent my anger here. I was promised a response and some marketing kits will be arranged but so far nothing at all and nothing of substance. AM have had my money and now there seems very little appetite or interest in working with me as an author. With my experience it is hard to recommend AM - I shall look for another publisher or self-publish my third book. I bet AM will come back with some excuse or explanation in response. Apology is no good to me - I need demonstration of what Susanna Valeriani, Alexander Holiday and Jade Robertson had said to me in a signed letter dated 5th February 2020! "We take pride in what we do.......our continuing success is best illustrated as we grow as a business" I dont believe I have had good deal and not sure if they have fulfilled the contractual bargain I hired them to perform. Lets see how they deal with this review.
My contract has now been terminated by AM. I have asked them to refund 60% of the money as I am not satisfied as to the service - was 100% well below standard and some reviews do support me. I paid them a total of £3,900. So asked for 60% = £2,340 but have refused. I am considering legal action against them. So Anyone willing to support me welcome to get in touch.
A very unhappy author.

Although this is the first time I have had a book published, everything in the process seems to have run very smoothly and efficiently. Communication has been top-notch so I have known exactly what is going on at each stage of the process. They have also answered my assorted questions quickly. Well done. I would definitely use them again - if I write another book!

The teams involved in my books were very accommodating and understanding of my wants and needs. I would definitely use them for my future books!

Made the process easy and enjoyable.

Great communication throughout all stages of the publishing process!
