I subscribed to this paper for 90 Days (only) during one of their special offers. Folks at the Herald called a week or two after I began getting the paper and asked how I liked the paper. I said it was fine, though I wanted to make sure my subscription would end at 90 Days. The person calling said she would make sure the subscription would end at 90 Days. About two weeks later, someone from the Herald called to see if I'd like to subscribe to the paper! I mentioned that I already receive the paper on their 90 Day special offer, and that I want delivery to end at 90 Days from the date the 90 Day Special Offer began. This person assured me the deliveries would end at the prescribed date. Last week I received an invoice from the Herald billing me for the next month. -- Despite the agreement that my 90 Day Special Offer would end at 90 Days, which was early in November, it appears the Herald fails to honor Their Own commitment and would rather keep delivering the paper even though I don't want it.

I apologize I did not write a review years ago when Patricia worked with my co-authors and me to get our book ready for publication. I live in Pacific Grove as does Patricia so it made things so easy. Patricia has the best work-ethic and knows how to make your book the best it can be. Give Patricia a call.

Just a fair warning to all who are new in the self-publishing industry:…read moreThis was my first experience dealing with a graphic designer, and I feel cheated and violated. Patricia Hamilton charges $75 an hour and takes a cash/check payment retainer upfront. I paid her $260 retainer for my project based on her estimation of 6 hours. I met her 3 times totaling 2 hours & 25 minutes ($169). Unfortunately, only 1 hour and half was spent on design ($98), the rest of the time was spent discovering her inability to work with windows and her limited ability working with MacBook. Since she was unable to start the project, I collected my material and asked for partial reimbursement. To my surprise, she refused to pay and had the audacity to claim that she spent time to discover/learn how to use the proper font on MacBook. Before signing up with Park Place Publication (AKA: Patricia Hamilton) consider her lack of ethic and professionalism.
