Have had a very good experience overall with Lucas Parez and his team here. The line edit on my manuscript was superb.

Just like others I believe that they do not need to use Penguin Publishers name. The company should have courage to establish their own non-plagiaristic name: if they want to stick to arctic birds what would be wrong with "Atlantic Puffin Publishers"?

My two books were edited timely and really well language wise with nice streamlining of the text. However, in one of my books ("Dirty Academia") editing process required transferring megafiles back and forth and there were 140 illustrations embedded in the text. I made a mistake of compressing some important illustrations to facilitate transfer only and not meaning to leave them small in my book, while I left some simple, <1MB, less important illustration large. I thought that editors were going to edit important illustrations (more MBs) by appropriately enlarging them for printing and they did not do that, making some of them poorly readible in the book.

Some components of the service was more expensive than I expected. For example, the cost of the development of my website (although it is nice) was approximately twice as much higher than rates quoted by Writer's Yearbook 2026 as high.

It’s always fun and rewarding to have your book published. But it’s even better when it’s a quick easy process and William did that for me.

Firstly, they are falsely using the name Penguin to give themselves credibility. The only reason I used them was because I wanted the Penguin logo in my book. Turns out they are not affiliated with Penguin traditional publishing at all. They have no right to be selling themselves as Penguin.

The process took over a year to complete, because they kept sending me AI generated cover images in which the characters had two noses or eight fingers or six eyebrows. Despite these obvious clues that they were AI generated, they denied it all the way through the process.

I ended up designing my own cover and sending it to them to use. At this point, despite having bought the full package, they asked for more money to add the book to Amazon, and then acted like they were giving me a special discount when I refused to pay it.

As far as editing, my manuscript goes, it came back with just 13 changes in an 80,000 word manuscript. Did they even read it?

Since I am proficient in publishing on Amazon, I terminated the contract having got not a single useful thing from them, and published it myself
