- Paid for servicesPaid $2,000 to $5,000
Be very careful reading the grant of rights clause. The initial cost quote was reasonable, but post-signature upselling was persistent throughout the process. In my experience with Apex Book Writers, they handled communication poorly and contract clarity was unsatisfactory.
- VerifiedContractedPaid $2,000 to $5,000
The production quality was decent, but their marketing package was described in unmeasurable terms. After signing, I was asked to pay additional fees for extra promotional tiers. In my experience with Apex Book Writers, they handled communication poorly and contract clarity was unsatisfactory.
