What an awful experience
What an awful experience with Hampton Publishers. This has been an awful journey with Hampton Publishers. I paid them $399 to help me format my manuscript, but beware. They will try to sell you on many other services, and it is a hard, pushy sales pitch you will need to endure. I did endure. Then they weren't getting my book manuscript completed, so I stepped in and started creating my own section dividers because they were so slow and the design quality was poor. Then they stopped and said I needed to pay another $300 to continue, which I did because I was desperate to get my book published. All they needed to do was format it. Then, their designer working on my project quit. Needless to say, they finally got my book up on Amazon and Barnes and Noble, but it is still not up on the other platforms they promised. So I excitedly ordered a copy and received it today. It is a disaster. The book is not formatted properly. Chapters are mixed, starting on both left and right readers, as well as the section dividers. The formatting is off, so exclamation marks show up as boxes. The Gill Sans Bold font they used does not render well. It is a disaster. So I called them, and they did their pitch again and said I would need to pay more money to get the formatting done correctly. I lost it. They cannot even do the job right and will not take responsibility for their work. It is all about more money. Run from these people. It is a racket.
