Olympia Publishers Reviews 

A few months ago I wrote a glowing review of Olympia Publishers. This time, however, I would like to amend my previous statement.
If you have a dream of becoming an author, DO NOT submit your work to these guys. You'll get lured in by empty promises, flashy-looking websites, and doctored reviews, only to have your dreams shattered.
Since my book was published a little over a year ago, I've been left to flounder. I'm still waiting to hear from their publicity department.
My book (The Terropendium) has sold out at least three times on Amazon, and sites like Gardner, W. H. Smith, and others only have one or two copies left in stock. But apparently Olympia Publishers only owe me £9 in royalties over two statements. I paid them £2,500 to have my book published (I know, I was sucked in by their cleverly written lies) and all I've made is £9! I won't even see that, though, as they'll only pay out if you make £20 or more.
Needless to say, my hopes and aspirations have been thoroughly stamped on by Olympia Publishers. I still have a passion for writing, and my depression-inducing experience with this publisher has not killed that,but in future I will attempt to have my work published independently or by a reputable, legitimate publishing house.
Please don't fall for the scam I fell for.

I have had a very devastating experience with this publisher and advise to anyone considering signing with them to reconsider.

I have not yet received any royalties and sent countless emails.

No marketing was done and despite any claims Olympia made to have sent out press releases, they did not.

The worst was that upon my book release the colour, finish and quality of the book was horrible.
I promoted the book myself and had over 100 people purchase. To my embarrassment they all received what look liked home job books. It was only randomly that the printer started printing the book normally (after I was already in discussions to leave the publisher).

I am left heart broken and truly taken advantage of.

P.s the non existent management won't ever contact you back and address issues. I have tried and tried.

I immensely enjoyed the process of publishing my first book with Olympia Publishers. The whole team, in various departments were professional and caring and made the experience a really positive one.

I have three books published with Olympia and all three have turned out great. Good communication and follow through with requests and feedback.

So patient with me as I went through the changes that I wanted to make. Helped me to have a better understanding of the process and have nothing but good to say about them

As a first time older author the publishing world is a alien environment. All the staff that I came into contact with at Olympia Publishers were encouraging, positive, patient and made me feel like part of their work culture.
I have enjoyed the process, experience and valued their professionalism, guidance and support

Five star...no hesitation... it's been an awesome experience with the Olympia publishers every step of the way. Right from submission onwards it was a thorough professional approach. I got the first response within 3 weeks after the submission form the commissioning editor, Mr James Houghton. That letter showed how thoroughly the entire editors team perused my work and honestly admitted that they saw potential in my work. A big thanks to them.I was assigned Ms Ruth Ridley as the cordinator, a really enthusiastic and energetic person who oversaw the entire process and used to update me of the progress with diligence, hat's off to her. The way the publicity team has formulated the publicity process has made me speechless. I never anticipated such a hassle free endeavour. God bless the entire team.

Olympia publishers supported me and helped me to get published when no one else would. I have done much academic work and branched out into sci-fi. I am dissident intellectual and have given up on being able to participate. Olympia opened up a possibility to publish in a very fair and self-directed process.

My book was accepted for a hybrid publication contract and was finally published last year. Olympia did very little in terms of editing and they have done nothing to market it; any sales made have come from my own hard work at trying to generate some publicity. They are also refusing to pay my overdue royalties which seems to be a breach of the contract I signed with them. I can't get a response when I ask about escalating the issue. Avoid. I wish I'd have accepted with a different publisher now.

Frances Greer wrote ATo Z read along with me it is a great book for small children I read it to my class everyday the kids absolutely love the story

I appreciate the time they took out to design my cover page, it's a great feeling When you can look one time at your characters and know exactly who each one of them are!
I'm so excited about Publicity!!!
Hands down and hats off. Thank you!!

I had so much fun helping create my book Passion For Poetry..
It was a amazing experience with professional and patient people. Great experience as a first time author 😀 👍 👌.

Finding a publisher is a daunting process for any debutant writer. Olympia took a chance on me, and I will be eternally grateful for that. The process of manuscript to published book took its time, but it was worth the wait.

I am having a great experience with Olympia Publishers . My first book has been published on March 28,2024.
Olympia Publishers did a fantastic job , I absolutely love my book titled
"A-Z Read along with me !!! ".
I would strongly recommend all authors to submit there manuscripts to Olympia Publishers. Thank you all at Olympia Publishers, I am blessed to be working with you..

I am almost traumatised from dealing with Olympia for two and a half years. The initial proof reader did a good job, and my book is now published and looks good. But the publication manager was incredibly inefficient and took several months to even answer my emails. I did all the work on my book. The graphic design team in Olympia did shoddy work, so I paid a local graphic designer to design my covers and arrange the photos in my book and submitted them to Olympia with the photo captions under each photo, and even then, half the captions had mistakes in them which I went back and forth until they were all corrected. My book took more than a year beyond the contract date, and the waiting and inefficiency caused me enormous stress and sleepless nights.
My book is done and I am relieved and delighted to say is good quality.
It’s of interest to Americans, and is already selling well there. However, the copies ordered directly from USA to Olympia have taken more than two months for delivery and this is again causing me stress and embarrassment. The USA copies being ordered through Barnes and Noble are arriving within days so I’m now encouraging all my American contacts to order through Amazon and Barnes and Noble. I have no idea how Olympia can operate with such an incredibly low level of efficiency and pride in their work.

My experience has been good because as a new author I have been supported from production through to publicity.

My experience with Olympia has been over the span of four years. This is my second book which I am publishing with them. I must say that my recent experience, with my second book has been much more positive than the one with the first book. I had been quite disappointed with the quality of the proofreader/amender for my first. The second was better, although not as professional as I would have hoped. I would also have appreciated someone who gave editorial imput. But, I found a vast improvement in the quality and efficiency of the services provided.

They have been amazing whilst publishing my first book.
They’ve been very patient in answering all my questions, I’m very very happy with them!

While other publishing companies continually brushed me off, as if my work was not worthy, the team at Olympia was very welcoming and eager to give my book a chance. They were with me through every step of the process, guiding me and assuring me that everything was OK. I am ever grateful to Olympia Publishers for making my dream come true.

I am an author with Olympia and i had a good experience so far with working with them.
