Bookleaf have a bad reputation. It took me ages to get the book published at which point I knew they were scamming people. They did eventually publish though they did not tell me, a friend saw it for sale on other sites. However bad reviews on this company and scam warnings made me decide to get them to withdraw and pay Royalties. They have done neither. Trying to bully me into a Paypal account or they wont pay. I write but they ignore the...

Self-publishing scam

I entered a writing challenge hosted by BookLeaf Publishing in November of 2022. Since then, BookLeaf Publishing has been stringing me along for months regarding when my book will be listed on Amazon for purchase as a paperback. My contact at the company said that there were technical issues, but that I can expect the listing to be up in mid-June, but now says they will be out of office dealing with personal matters until the second week...

I entered a poem writing competition in January 2023, whereby you submit 21 poems for 21 days with the view to having your poems collated and published.

The length of time between communication from Book Leaf is so concerning, and the responses from your book 'editor' are slow and sarcastic.

I have gone weeks with no communication from Book Leaf on what happens next, and I've seen nothing of my 'book'.

I should have known better, but I went into it in good faith.

      Absolute scammers

      I cannot even figure out where to start from. If I said it's a scam that'd be underexpressing the issues they have put me through. They are inconsistent, unresponsive and every time I email them about not communicating back they would whine about the correspondent quitting the company. I have been stuck with the same manuscript for over one year now since I first submitted it as a participation to their writing marathon in April 2021 for...

      I entered a contest and paid 1600 as the fee for it on Feb 9th with the promise of getting a book published. after completing the manuscript and finishing all the work from my side there has been no communication from the company. I have sent countless mails to them to only receive an automated response. the whole thing is a fraud, they take your money, take your manuscript (intellectual property) and cut contact with you.

        They have taken 1500 rupees for a reading contest and haven't given any update regarding trophy or refund they promised. 1 and a half month has already passed. Please try compensating my money back atleast. I invested my time and money for their challenge.

There are a lot of other writers like me who have done the same with book leaf publishing. I submitted these poems at the start of October and they haven't published the book yet, they were originally supposed to publish it in a month of my submission, but there's been no response on their end to resolve this matter sooner, I keep mailing them but No-one ever replies. I just want to state that Bookleaf is a FRAUD company.

            I came across an insta post by bookleaf publication that was going to conduct 21 day poem challenge competition after which they were supposed to print the book with poems. They took 1500 rupees to register in it.

            It's been one month since they aren't communicating or updating. It's an ethical fraud with a writer.

              This company has a very active social media presence through which they lure potential customers on half promises and lies. They are a fraud publishing house and have developed a foolproof method to fleece money from aspiring writers.

              They publish sub par quality books with defective pieces and refuse to offer me remuneration. They do not reply to emails but continue to sell my book off of amazon.

              They have taken close to 9000rs from me on the promise of a bulk order of 70 copies which I have not received in over three months. They refuse to reply to my emails and continue to engage in terrible business practises.

              I am seeking a full refund from them.
              I signed up for their poetry challenge in December 2022 and after they confirmed the final draft with me they cut off all communication. I don't know what became of the book they promised to publish, but I haven't been given any information or royalties.

                I did a challenge with bookleaf publishing in the month of May 2021. They took a lot of time to publish the book but eventually they did publish the book but the book description was just plainly just some rubbish as they didn't put in even the slightest effort to list the book right. They also promised that they will be sharing sales report and will be paying royalties, but there's no sign of that. I ordered 100 copies of my book and paid for it almost 1.5 months back but there has been no update regarding that too. Miss Aishwarya from their organisation was handling my part of communication and she has now stopped replying to the mails. I asked her multiple times to provide me someone's contact number as she takes too long to reply, but she never provided anything. I even raised a ticket on their website in a hope that someone will contact, as there's no contact detail mentioned on the website. I seriously don't know what is going to happen now.

                  I participated in a book challenge in June. They published the book 4 months late. And I ordered extra author copies a month ago but No response yet. The book is not even on kindle which they promised. And they have even sent me the sales report or dashboard or royalty. The main issue is they don't respond to mails or messages anything. It's very tough and stressful.
                  I am facing similar issue. I ordered 100 copies for my book but they have just stopped replying. They don't share any sales report or any kind of communication about the same.
