Total scam operation. They stole cover illustrations from another author's book and committed trademark infringement. Do not send them any money under any circumstances! In my experience with American Ebook Writers, they handled communication poorly and contract clarity was unsatisfactory.
Solid distribution and design quality. They were transparent about costs and timelines upfront, which made working with them seamless. In my experience with Macmillan Publishers, they handled communication professionally and contract clarity was excellent.
