ReadersMagnet
Reviews and Complaints

There's a reason this company has to have "ReadersMagnet Is Not A Scam and Heres Why" on their Webpage. Because many, such as I, have found them to be such. Long story short, the company gave e a discount to promote my book to a movie producer. They emailed that they had shown him the book but that I would need to pay an additional $400 to continue. When I refused to pay more money, *** of RM replied, "I dont know ***. Im embarrassed. I begged him to read your books, but. Its okay, Ill just make an excuse." No extra money. No further commitment other than to "make an excuse" and not show my book.

Elizabeth S offered to publish an article about my novel, ASTEROIDS - Bridge to Nowhere in the Author's Lounge for free. I gladly wrote and submitted the article. I sold a couple of books on Amazon that week. I believe I can attribute those sales to the article and the social media posts she and I published to promote the article. Promoting my book on the *** was indeed, free. No one has attempted to solicit any services or pushed any schemes on me. While I have not participated in any paid services from Readers Magnet, I have no reason to believe the company is devious or untrustworthy. I plan to learn more about their marketing services before I publish my next novel.

#Festival of *** - As an Author of the ***, I feel the management team did an excellent job of setting up the program. The interviewer asked me many good questions to allow the audience to get to know me. The technical part of the program went smoothly. The interviewer introduced the questions to me as were called in so I could answer them while I was still online. The staff did everything they could for the week before to make each of us feel comfortable. I definitely recommend this program to anyone who has a book to introduce to the world,#Readers Magnet - My personal experience was: Wonderful staff. Very helpful. Patient. Kind. Willing to do everything in their power to make their authors successful. Professional.

I have been with Readers Magnet for two years now.. I have been with several other self publishing companies with my novels. There is no comparison to the service, care, encouragement, I get from all the staff, especially my Author Specialist Marie Sanchez. If I request anything from her, she gets right on it with a professional reply to any question i come up with. And she always answers her telephone, and if on another call, she gets right back to me. I give her 5 stars for great service. I[m telling you nobody provides a platform that Readers Magnet gives their author. An opportunity to be apart of a Festival, giving us writers availability to share our stories with the world. I give Readers Magnet 5 stars out of 5 stars. Rick Vasquez

What a grand experience I've just had as an author-participant at The Festival of Storytellers presented by Reader's Magnet. Red Sanchez, my liaison for the event, kept me up to date, handled every one of my crises (even the imaginary ones) with great patience and understanding. This being a first time virtual event, the usual unexpected, and not always pleasant, surprises often arose as all the technical elements were being put together. Even when I freaked out, Red was able to reassure me, and sure enough, the event went pretty smoothly. It was fun and afforded me the opportunity to connect with reader and other authors just as I had hoped. I would recommend the services of Reader's Magnet and their liaisons, like Red Sanchez, to other authors. #thefestivalofstorytellers #ReadersMagnet

I'm so happy that I chose to listen to Rhys Sauro's pitch for Readers Magnet. He brings me so much joy speaking with him about my novel 'A Chosen Journey. Rhys introduced me to John Ocampo whom I found to be a great friend, publicist, and a wonderful family man. I feel very comfortable working with your publishing company Readers Magnet and trust that you will share my self-help guide to abuse and addiction novel with the World. I feel this novel will help many people change their lives if they take the advice to heart written in a literary fashion in a novel format. I'm anxious to finish editing my sequel so this novel can be shared with those that reach out for help that are living in anguish and pain. My main goal is to help others recover from a life of pain and sorrow. 'A Chosen Journey by Tamara Lea Lesley

I'm *** A Christian Writer, Author of book Deep Within The Puzzles Of Life. I've been working Readers Magnet for a couple of years and I have to say that, I truly love working with them because they inspires me to want write more books with them. I admire all of the staff that I've work with, people such as Erica A who has truly been an inspiration to me, because of her I'm inspired to write my 3rd book with Readers Magnet as well. Erica has made me feel very comfortable with all of my dealings with the company. Erica has been there for me whenever I needed assistant with projects. Erica goes out of her way to ensure that all of my needs are met. She made sure that I've gotten all of the credit that was do to me in a timely manner. Erica has a been blessing to me & my soul. Thank You so much for all that Readers Magnet has done for me.

I love the personal touch I have been getting from my publisher. My author's relations agent called me today and said that they had heard I was not feeling well. My last publisher was impossible to communicate with in any way besides exchanging emails. When I did email my former publisher it could be several days before they responded. If I call Red Sanchez, Nikki Boltron, or Mario Gonzales at www.readersmagnet.com I usually get a response within the hour. Then when they heard I wasn't feeling well they called to check on me. Reader's Magnet is much more than a self-publisher. I mean I have already completed my business transactions with them. If they just wanted my money they already got it! Calling me when they heard I was ill wasn't a sales call or a sales gimmick. They had nothing to gain. They called because they care. That is a personal touch I never got from my "traditional" publisher. I highly recommend Readers Magnet Self-Publishing. They are more than publishers. They are a writer's friends!

It is a pleasure to be able to review those who have been working with me for the success of my book, Fellowshipping With Holy Spirit ~ Up Close and Personal . . . thank you. My experience with ReadersMagnet is 100% joyful . . . you have all taken such good care of me that I have no worries. Rain is on top of details at all times and gives me every opportunity to voice/write of any detail that I don't understand or have un-thought about questions to ask until the moment it pops into my head. The team does beautiful work . . . everything about the cover excites me and my readers will love that I continue to utilize the Lightning theme on all my covers. Whenever I have contact with the marketing dept., I am happy at their care of my needs . . . i don't know my needs ahead of time. I know my past experience with a different publisher ant that publisher made very little effort to assist me in success. I can compare with them and you are head and shoulders far above them in your expertise. Thank you all.

This note is regarding my OUTSTANDING experience with the publisher of my book: BADGE 411: Based on the Actual Experiences of a Probation Officer!During mid-2021 I was contacted by ***, Publishing Consultant with READERS MAGNET. She offered me an opportunity to make substantial improvements on my current book at the time; I had to agree that the original publisher had left me with much to be desired. I did agree on a contract with READERS MAGNET. The book contains 80+ of my experiences as a career Probation Officer.The very much improved book, BADGE 411, was published mid-January, 2022.*** assigned ***, Author Relations Officer and *** to develop and re create the book.During the refining and redesigning of the book and creation of the Website they also produced for me, I was involved in excellent discussions on the telephone and in eMail with these dynamic people! They fed me suggestions, we discussed all aspects involved and a communication never ended until they were certain that I was informed and satisfied. When it came time to commence marketing the book, I was experiencing nightmares with *** and my computer; over several days, *** very patiently walked me through every problem until everything was resolved! He then let me know he will be available to assist should I have further marketing issues.I believe quality service like this is rare in any industry. If/when I write another book, I will ABSOLUTELY go to READERS MAGNET! *** (***)Author, Badge411

When I was first solicited for business by the marketing firm "Reader's Magnet", I didn't know anything about book marketing so naturally, I was skeptical. Without some kind of marketing, my book would join thousands of others in an obscure death so I decided to give them a try. Their Festival of Storytellers is a rather new online book fair which promised to give me a live audience for up to an hour a day (or more, if I could endure it) for a period of two weeks, to present my book and field any questions through their online chat box. I decided to do these live presentations for an hour every other day, and, after I got the hang of how to speak to an unseen audience, I really enjoyed the experience to the point where I wish I could have spent even more time doing it. No marketing is inexpensive, but given the technical support of a live presentation for up to 50 different authors, including three training sessions on how to be effective with a live audience, I felt that the money I spent was well worth it. Authors know that finding an audience is a daunting task, but without an audience, a book, even a good book, is doomed to the dustbin of history. One other thing I was very glad I did, was to pay for a service that purchased seven book reviews from seven different critical book review services. The caveat was that there was no promise that any of them would come back positive. These services would themselves be criticized by others if they were biased in any way due to the fact that they are paid for their services. The other caveat is that if your book isn't any good, you'll soon find that out. Luckily my book, How God Thinks, got great reviews from 5 out of 6 reviewers, and the 6th also had good things to say. (Still waiting on the 7th- and this can indeed take a while to get results, but that's simply the way book marketing goes). Overall, I was very pleased with Reader's Magnet. They delivered as promised. One other quick note, all the people I worked with (including one online stage technician who was operating from *** at 2am, their time) were almost unbelievably nice people to work with, which, in an age of terrible customer service, was a real treat. Thanks to *** and ***.
