GBA Very Good Outcome Amazon Publishing Labs provided me with author services for my first published book. Services included: editing, formatting, graphics, and copyright registration. I had never before engaged these types of services, and during the initial stages found the process to be very arduous. Ultimately, I discovered that a successful outcome would heavily rely on my staying fully engaged, taking personal ownership of "quality assurance" in methodically checking and approving proposed revisions coming from the writer/editor and the graphic artist. I highly recommend that any new author that engages these types of services needs to be prepared to stay fully engaged with their point of contact throughout the entire process, otherwise you might be disappointed with your outcome. That said, I was supported by Leonard Andersen and he patiently worked with me thru the entire process. As a result, my book was successfully published in paperback and Kindle. I view it as a high-quality final product.

GBNot an Amazon affiliate Check this out carefully if you are searching for Amazon's publishing company. Based on everything I see, this is not an Amazon affiliate if that is what you are looking for. Obviously, based on the logo, that is what they are trying to get us to believe but the deeper you look into them, there is no connection. Concerning that someone's comment is blurred out?!

GBBeware of this "Organization" They (Ethan Gallagher) "sold" me an advertised $349 "special" for $700 and then the next guy (Alex Daniels) wanted $1,500 more. I am still not sure this "company" is an Amazon company or just trading off the Amazon name. I asked for a refund and they said it had been "processed" but a week later it's still not in my account. Fool me once, shame on me. Double check your URLs. I then found Kindle Direct Publishing at Amazon and was able to publish my book in both eBook and Paperback--totally free. KDP (your mss has to be print ready, which I love) is MUCH better.

GBBe careful of the team you are assigned with Amazon Publishing Labs! My experiences with Amazon Publishing Labs are mixed, and I will explain. I’m 74 years old and I wrote my once in a lifetime book, poured my heart and soul and lifetime experiences into it. I searched different publishers and decided on APL. I was assigned Sophia James, who is a sweet person, but her team lacked talent and she was very poor on quality control or oversight! I sent in suggestions and when it was returned, the same problems existed, plus others. Her editing and art department team were literally terrible! I eventually had to do all my editing AND art cover design! I paid for services that I had to do myself! Eventually, I was assigned George Carter, who stepped up and he and his team did a fantastic job! If I was just reviewing George and his team, they would get 5 stars for sure. However, my 3 star rating is due to the overall experience and the fact that it took THREE MONTHS to get my book published! I poured my heart into the writing and my initial experience caused me stress and angst and took some of the enjoyment away. Had I been assigned George and his team from the start, it would have been a more enjoyable experience!
