Tolkeins Book Writing Avis 

Everything went wrong a scam company I must say I paid for book marketing and Noone even updated me I got no sales nothing these people said they were calling never did I got zero sales Noone answered me after a while don't do business with them their Facebook page also disappeared red flag a SCAM COMPANY

In August 2025 I hired them to sell my books on Amazon. They build a website. It is good. They ran a bunch of ads. The graphics were good, and they contracted to make two audio books.

They blew up my Instagram account and got my permanently banned for copyright violations... three times. They blew up three different Instagram accounts.

They were not making sales, and each step of the way they said the next step is the one that does it. You have to invest more, then you'll see sales. They yelled at me and high pressured my for more and more money,

I do have a website from them, and I do have ads. But I've invested $9.000. It's been 5 months. They have ZERO ($0.00) in Amazon sales. And I don't have the completed audio books even after 5 months.

STAY AWAY FROM THESE GUYS. YOU WILL NOT NEVER MAKE YOUR INVESTMENT BACK FROM THEM. YOU WILL ONLY LOSE YOUR MONEY.

I hired this company to help publish an illustrated children’s book, including the artwork. Unfortunately, the experience was deeply frustrating. From the outset, I encountered persistent upselling and a lack of attention to detail. Instructions were routinely ignored or misinterpreted, and I began to question whether any qualified editors were involved in the process.

For example, I requested a simple correction to one sentence on a page. They made the change—but inexplicably deleted the two sentences that followed. Communication was poor throughout, and what should have been a straightforward process dragged on far longer than necessary (over 3 months.)

The illustration work was equally disappointing. Each revision request seemed to degrade the image further. Despite claiming not to use AI, they delivered an animal with five legs—raising serious doubts about their methods. Several illustrations were also mismatched to the intended age group, undermining the tone and accessibility of the book.

I won’t be working with them again. The experience felt like watching a malfunctioning AI spiral out of control—chaotic, careless, and creatively incoherent.

So I do not appreciate this company my name is Corey James I live in Urbana Illinois time 12:49pm date October 12 , 2025 so I called this company my project manager Ben to ask for half of my 1000$ payment now this company says you can get your refund at anytime when I ask for half of my money in to stop paying everything with my project he told me no your not getting your F money back in we gone take your book in publish it under are make now if I see my book Echoes From The woods out somewhere I’m during them they are a scam for one of you a legit company telling people you gone refund them but when asked you get cursed out then that’s a problem I can walk away from 1000$ it’s nothing to get money but my book now that’s when we got a problem so I go ever red this don’t work with them they a scam they ass holes in they broken is hell they lie they steal this is wild I hate every finding this company on Facebook I will never trust again nor trust Facebook again

This company took what was supposed to be an exciting, fun experience and completely destroyed it. The constant harassment and pressure for more money was nerve wracking. Even after I explained how my situation had changed for the worse, they didn't care. They made promises that never came, said things were included in my original fee that were not, etc. Don't trust these people!

So unprofessional. I contacted the Federal Trade Commission yesterday and Tolkeins is now under investigation. They harassed me, took over my website, changed all passwords and are now holding my website hostage. I've never had such a stressful time dealing with a company before.

Today I had a representative of this company reach out to me unprompted and shame me for not having the money and/or faith in myself to commit to a contract with them. I questioned their justification of the business model for people in my financial situation and the rep gloated about how people with $40,000 or more to spend always have success. I responded they should focus more on those kind of people and stop bothering me.

Very unprofessional. No one is this childish. I contacted them regarding my book, but went with another company. They contacted me months later. I told them I was no longer interested. Then the harassment started. When I told them to stop and remove me from their contacts, they said no. They would contact me again and again until I answered their questions. I have the screen shot from Messenger.

Excellent company!!! Easy to work with.

Not sure who these are but I had an email this evening saying my book is on high alert and it is not copyright. The funny thing is how have they got my details as wordsworthwritinghouse.co.uk was my publishers and I found out these were a scam as apparently my book was due to go across usa in 26 libraries. Still waiting

This company is a complete scam. When I answered an ad on Facebook about getting published,At the time they claimed to be KDP. They published my book through Amazon. The promised promotions for my book was trash. AFTER they received my Payment for marketing they changed their company name to Bookwave publishing. When I asked for the copy of cooyrights they went ghost for months. Now I received an email from Tolkiens Book Writing AKA Bookwave Publishing saying my book is on high alert and it's not copywritten. Mind you my book was published on Amazon December 2,2023!! Complete scam!!! I kept asking for a refund for an entire year and kept getting the run around.

I am a paid client. I have no access to my files. I have no idea what my sales look like. I can't get any support to resolve these issues. No one is answering my calls, emails, or text messages. This is not what I expected. This company is not resident in the BBB. They have a US address, but they are not resident in the BBB of any state they have an address for. They have recently relocated from a NY address to a TX address. Do not give up control of your files. Do not share email addresses. If you don't get a dashboard set up that you can control you'll regret it later.

After payment, it seemed difficult to get things done.

Bunch of scam artists. No access to track sales or receive royalty payments from online platforms. No follow up to MANY requests for that access, just constant calls to send more money. Their MONEY BACK GUARANTEE if not satisfied is just more lies.
Their business model is not based on book sales and paying authors a percentage royalty nor producing physical copies for purchase by authors (i.e. “vanity” publishing), YOU the erstwhile author are their revenue stream and all you get is constant harassment to continue to send them money for more “services” ad infinitum.

All those responses below this response except for my first response and maybe possibly the response I saw after me are all fake they're made up by the company themselves pretending to be someone that they're not this is such a scam company it's unbelievable they should go to jail I don't even think they're American I think there's scammers from another country.

These people or AI will NOT leave me alone! I did not solicit them, I am not writing a book, and no matter how many times I tell them they keep coming back. They are people who crash your birthday party, you tell them to leave, and they just keep harassing you for asking them to leave!

They market my book, I was skeptical initially, but then woohoo I got a lot of sales, magical.
