Why 21 Days’ Writing Challenge By BookLeaf Publishing Became A Sensation But people place value differently, so this might be just the thing for you. Rope-a-dope is an expression that comes to mind. I must admit, it's hard not to slag this off, solely based on the "award". Only open for US residents, with separate identical "competitions" for UK, AU and Canada -although the company is based in India?Įveryone gets a participation trophy shipped to them. The author gets 100% of profits paid monthly? They do this for exposure and to make money off the actual printing? (which leads me to think that there won't be any profits to speak of as the cost of printing will eat it all up.) They select the "top 30" out of 50 entrants, so 30 titles gets printed, presumably strictly to order. There seems to be no other criteria for selecting the entrants, so the quality of the poetry might be dubious? The lack of any sort of literary criteria coupled with the entrance fee cinches it. The 21 days competition seems to be a way to drum up some extra customers more than anything else. This seems to be a cheap-ish vanity press, based in India. I would suggest doing some due dilligence before signing up. I had a look at the page, and I must say there are some red flags for me here. This might not be a (complete) scam, If it is real and they acutally make the books, good on everyone.
Always try to do your research like Nyki said, be wary and keep your shield high. Then if you scroll to the bottom you will see another example of a writer arguing with a publisher. First a link to information about publishing scams:īook Publishers To Avoid And Watch Out For New Author Scams ()
#Bookleaf publishing writing challenge review tv
Unfortunately most people would rather watch a tv then read a book.īTW, here is a great example. There are approximately 3million books published every year and every book has a less then 1% chance of gathering publicity. In reality they probably will only add it to their own bookstore. It could be that some authors assumed their book will be published and introduced into every barnes and nobles across the country for only $50. They have a 4.5 google review rating of almost 700 reviewers and a corporate identity number. I was only able to see 1 person complaining about their book not being published although I didn't check their social media. Please help me in and the other writers in this matter.Yes, always good to be cautious. I need a compensation for all the harassment in the last couple I months and I need them to give up their right on my book. Also, my friends have purchased copies prices 150 each. I have paid a 1000 ruppee competition fee and an another 1000 for illustrations. I need them to Furthermore they are FRAUDS as I have not received any royalties as well. I have screenshots to support my claim, which I will attach too. The pricing of the book too was changed from the one that was promised. Also, all the copies that have been sold so far, I did not receive any royalty for it. However, not only was the printed copy up to the mark, when confronted they stopped responding. I have a copy of the agreement that states the authorization of the book and all the terms and conditions. There are a lot of other writers like me who have done the same with book leaf publishing.
I am a writer and I participated in the writing challenge, where you provide 20 poems and get a book published.
