Rated 1 out of 5 stars

They were wonderful, supportive and helpful until I told them I had no more money for this project. Now they will not communicate with me. I paid about $2000 upfront.

Always get great service in a timely manner. For some reason, the communication wasn’t as good as before. If I needed to know something, usually I initiated the conversation. Very different than my previous two books.

This was my first time writing a book

This was my first time writing a book. I needed patience and understanding through out the process. In the start a lady Denise Benefiel talked to me about the whole process. I could call her even after it was no longer her job to help me and she was very understanding. I only had one draw back, one person did not treat me with respect and understanding. I had to ask to get her supervisor after she put me in tears. I got her supervisor , and it did go smoother from there on out. Denise told me in the beginning every time I had issues I felt were overwhelming to me, (it was little looking back now) that it will all be worth it when I hold that book in my hands! She was 100% right. It was. The final printed book was Awesome and I am very happy with it. Thank you LifeRich , yes I would use you again.

I’m very happy with the results!

So far I have received all that was promised to me by LifeRich. I expected much less. They are even making a website for my book which I can blog on with customers. I would recommend LifeRich to anyone interested in publishing their work.

For me as a new author the process was…

For me as a new author the process was long, drawn out, and impersonal. I prefer to talk with people when I am un certain or need help. This proved to be difficult as the individuals assigned to me in the company rarely answer a phone call, and take time in returning a request to call back.
On the other hand, the art work and layout was great, and the finished product was professional and of good quality. I am very pleased with the results.

Positive experience

From beginning to end as of today all the contacts have been polite, informative and responded in a timely manner.
I have learned much from Life Rich and would advise others that are new Arthurs to use this group of publishers as they were always ready to help.

Seeds of Destiny

Being my very first book, from start to finish Liferich, took me by the hand through each process, & no matter how many questions I asked, they were very patience, kind, & encouraged me through. They answered every email & phone call. They are very skilled professionals, who treat their customers with great respect! I am starting on my 2nd book & will be using them again!

Life Rich makes me want to write!

The thing I love about Life Rich is the way they have helped me after my writing. The cover design was very impressive and the kindness I have received in reference to marketing makes me want to use them repeatedly in the future. I'm looking forward to my next work already.

Redds Finds New Friends

Some thing I want to say.

Nothing is communicated to me unless I ask. This is my first book and I know nothing about royalties and such, but no one made any effort to communicate that detail until I asked. When I first contacted LifeRich, I was told my book would be published in November. It was finally done in May the following year. I provided everything that was needed. The communication was very poor to say the least. My book was already put together in printer ready form when I sent it in Word Nevertheless it was printed with pictures on one page and text on the next, that's not what I asked for. I did not intend for the illustrations to take up one whole page, text and pictures should have been mixed together. Because of that, there were more pages than I had bargained for.

I have had great experiences with LifeRich since day one. It is a marvelous company. I will not go anywhere else to publish my books, or anything else for that matter. Everyone is outstanding in what they do. I will recommend them to anyone who wants to publish a book.
