I had a very mixed experiences with Newman Springs Publishing, starting with the salesman Sean Senatore, he was complete lied to me about this loyalty. He told me if I can sell 200 books, I would get my initial investment back for publishing the book. After I started it, the entire processes, I had to do all the works, their editor made the first recommendation for me book where I should change, but it doesn't make any senses, so I tried to change all the recommendations that they made, then, they basically just agreed everything that I had change, on top of that, there was no spelling check and grammars correction. At the end, I just changed everything back to it was, and they didn't make any comments or suggestions, I don't believe that the editor had ever looked at my book after the very first time. Then I was the one doing all the book selling, after sold for more than 50 copies, my total loyalty was $279. The only good experience was working with Leigh who was assigned working with me for my book publishing. She is a great person to work with. My suggestion for the book publishing, you don't need any expensive book publisher, they will not do anything for you, so if you want to publish a book, try to find the cheapest the one, because, at the end, you will have to do everything yourself. read more

They never promoted my first book. I still haven't received my royalties. When asked they said promotion of my book was my responsibility and unethical for them to promote it. However, promotion is one of the list services. If there's ever a class action law suit against them. You can count me in. read more

Janie walked me through the entire process. She was great, answered my questions and concerns. Once I received my books, they were beyond what I expected. The quality of the books were impeccable. I have nothing but praise for Newman Springs publishing and would recommend them to anyone looking to publish their book. read more

Newman Springs Publishing is your typical vanity press scam. They lied to me all the way through. If you want your manuscript turned into a booklet, Newman Springs Publishing will do it for you at a cost. If you think you will have a writing career and want to join forces with Newman Springs Publishing and both of you will be successful as a team, then, Newman Springs Publishing is NOT the way to go. The contract said that they would charge my credit card $200 a month until fully paid. They breached that agreement by charging the full amount all at once!! They claim to sell your book and "put it in bookstores everywhere". Imagine my horror when their book project manager told me that they don't sell books. They claim to have grammar experts to help perfect your book, but when I had the final check before going to final printing, there were great errors that did not even exist in my manuscript!! One error slipped by me and made it into the final print. They claim to use all social media platforms for "maximum effectiveness" to get your book to the public eyes. When I complained, they said, "Sorry, your book did not sell as expected." That alone screams manipulation. As the author of my own book, I could not find it anywhere, so, how will the public find it? I did find it on Amazon, but how will the public know to look for it? Strangers obviously got copies from Newman Springs Publishing and prostituted my book. A brand new book release should sell some, if truly advertised, but I had to complain to them over two years later. They ignored me and sent me two checks of $23. That's it? I paid thousands to have my book made and sold by them, and I get "Sorry , your book did not sell as expected" and $46. Also, the manner in which they sent my copies of my book was awful. They sent them in a box with a loose flap where they all could have fell out. No taping shut or sealing of any kind. I shared my bad experience on their YouTube channel. What did they do? They shut off their YouTube Commentary!! In the middle of this scam, before I caught on that it was a rip-off, their book project manager told me, "You should have read the contract more carefully." I DID!! They just simply lied. I am not a disgruntled, unsatisfied customer, I was just scammed. I notice that Newman Springs Publishing tries to "answer" back to these complaints, but they are just trying to cover their rears. They will ignore your letters to them, and they will give you the run-around when you call. I am embarrassed and feel very stupid for falling for their "too good to be true" lies. They feed off your dreams of being an author and suck them dry into a financial nightmare. And the only one who will get a copy of your book is YOU. That's if their flap doesn't slide open. read more

Saw their commercial on TV one day and decided to finally call about getting my book published. I'm glad I found Newman- they brought my book to the market, and I am extremely impressed. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking at publishing they book. read more

I have only been with Newman Springs for less than a month and they have already proved they are much more motivated by owning my wallet than my work. One request which they deem unreasonable has set up a red flag right away. Sadly, it'll mean they stole $6,000 with no negotiation or return of email or phone calls. A woman named Jennifer will set you up first saying they are not a vanity press. They are. The project manager Zach is unreasonable and adheres to a business acumen much like a used car salesman. No negotiations possible, but all promises prior to a contract. I feel they now will do a crappy job on my book and marketing and there's little I can do. I left one publishing house to work with Newman as they are smaller and more local - but much more dishonest and non-negotiable. I made a bad call on switching to them that I'm stuck with (hopefully not) so I urge anyone looking to utilize their services to look elsewhere. There are much better options to pursue. It's sad that a place like this paints such a layer of deception over the entire publishing industry. Do not give your $$ to them. They are not what they present themselves to be. Don't believe them. read more

Newman Springs Publishing - Printing Services Near Me - Meadville, Pennsylvania

I had thought about writing my memoirs for quite some time and when Covid hit our country hard in 2020 I decided the time had come. I sent portions of my script to numerous publishers and when I was contacted by at least four companies I was excited yet overwhelmed. This was all so new to me but I did my due diligence and decided that Newman Springs would be a publisher I could work with. From my First Phone Encounter with Alyssa McGinnis she has made me feel Completely Confident with having my Memoirs Published by Newman Springs. Alyssa has Excellant Communication Skills and has Always been available to discuss any and all of the questions I have had. Her input has guided me throughout the publishing of my first book "Surviving The Men In My Life". Over time I have realized that Everyone wears a mask to conceal their true self. We all have a story to tell and Alyssa has been an amazing guide for me in helping to have my story published. I cannot Thank Her enough for all of her support and her outstanding knowledge through all aspects of this process. She is a true asset to Newman Springs and has guided me through the Editing process, Formatting of my Book and even assisted me with the design of my Book Cover. I am truly grateful to Alyssa for her honesty and kindness and cannot say how important she has been to me. I can't wait to see my completed book at the beginning of 2023 ! read more

Newman Springs Publishing fits the old saying, "If it sounds too good to be true, it is." These people lied to me from the start. They told me that they were not a vanity press (author pays publisher), which is a deliberate lie because that is exactly what they are, a vanity press. In a nutshell, I merely made a book for myself, and the public never got to see it. I am extremely embarrassed and was completely duped by them. I severed all ties with these crooks in April 2020, and they tried to get me to pay them some more in November 2020!! To this day, my book is STILL on their website! As far as I know, they are prostituting my book while I get paid nothing. Ultimately, I paid almost $4,000 for their services, and my book remained buried and lost among their other titles. I wish I had never seen their lying tv ad that October 2017 night. I wish I just changed the channel. I should have known it was too good to be true. read more

I wanted to write a bio of my life from day one to present times. A friend recommended a christian publisher which I tried with no success. They tried to change almost half of my text and wording, So I contacted Newman Springs Publishing. Newman Springs Publishing did my book just the way I wanted. I was very happy with everything, including the cover photo. The only reason I give them a four instead of five is that after a while, they took it off print and no one could order it again. I called Newman Springs ans asked why did they take my book off print. They told me that in the contract it says I have to pay so much per year to keep it in print so people can buy it. I guess that is my fault for not reading the contract to its entirety. My bad. I found that Newman Springs are a solid publisher and will do what they say. I am writing a sequel to my first book and plan on having Newman Springs Publish it. read more

My policy has always been to write only good reviews as I do not like circulating negative information. I am writing this review because it is entirely justified and perhaps my input will help someone out there to avoid the stressful experience I had with this Company. I gave Newman Springs my self-published children's picture book to market and distribute and paid them 3500.00. At the time I gave them my book, the cover and illustrations were great - I was very happy with the book. I mistakenly thought because they were professionals, they were expert at how to make the book very marketable. The versions they sent to me had typos, misspelled words, and pictures on the wrong side. (My having pointed out these errors is documented in my many e-mails to them). After much back and forth the typos,mis-spellings, and picture placement were finally corrected. When I asked if anyone had reviewed these changes before sending them to me, which would seem to be obvious customer service, the Publication Director assigned to me admitted he had not looked them over before sending to me. The cover, which featured an African-American little girl consistently came back with ridiculous looking orange neon skin tone. After going back and forth with this also I was ultimately told by an irritated Operations Administrator that "We can't change art work we didn't create." I never asked them to change any of the art work. I spoke to the President of the Company a couple times. The first time he stated he understood how I felt and I was placated. He told me he would be taking a special interest in my account. Neither the President or the Operations Administrator - knowing how upset I was over how my work had been treated - looked over the subsequent cover art work before sending it to me. When someone pays 3500.00 - especially these days, they want to feel their investment is justified and they are being given extra good care. When I advised the President that it seemed clear they were not able to fulfill their obligation under the contract, to produce a satisfactory cover, he offered to return 2,000.00 of my 3500.00. I should have asked for the entire amount but I was so happy to sever my involvement with Newman Springs that I (too) quickly agreed. The contract requires that all disputes go to mediation and I cannot believe that upon reviewing the e-mails, seeing the typos, the wrong pages, the ridiculous looking skin tone, I would not have been awarded the full 3500.00. My advice to any other author considering Newman Springs: Save your money. read more
