Olympia Publishers Reviews 

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

This is my second book published now with Olympia. Both times the experience has been pleasant. Communications are professional with action items for the author clearly outlined. Steps in the publishing process are articulated in a easily understandable format. Intervals between communications can be long sometimes, but this is understandable given the volume of people they work with and the intensive nature of publishing. The editing process was also strong, with most of the required corrections identified in the first round of edits.

Absolutely appalling service from Olympia for a book that was due to be published by Oct-23. I lodged a formal complaint with them on 26/03/24 and didnt even hear back from them. After calling multiple times I was spoken to by someone who wouldnt tell me exactly what went wrong and extremely frustratingly would only commit to Dec-24 as publishing date which is beyond belief for something that was due in Oct-23.

This experience is of a 10 year old author who is completely put off writing due to this experience which is revolting as author's parents spent money to get her book published to keep her interest in writing alive.

I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the exceptional support and professionalism that you and your team provided throughout the publication of my book, ‘The Cat, Who Knows Sign Language’ Your expertise and guidance were invaluable, and I am truly grateful for all the hard work you put into making this project a success.
From the initial stages of editing to the final publication process, your dedication and attention to detail were evident. Your feedback and suggestions not only improved the quality of the book but also helped me grow as a writer. Your team's responsiveness and commitment to excellence made this collaboration a truly rewarding experience.
I am immensely proud of the final product, and it would not have been possible without your talented team. Your unwavering support has not only fulfilled my publishing dream but has also inspired me to continue writing and sharing my stories with the world.
Thank you once again to Olympia Publishers for your outstanding work and professionalism. I look forward to the opportunity to work together again in the future.

Don't do it. The whole thing is a sham.

Amazing publishers! Took my writing from nothing to a book! My words, my poetry has been published! With the smoothest journey possible! Such a positive team to work with, nothing was ever too much trouble and always with such positive responses from everyone! I would highly recommend submitting your work to Olympia publishers!

The quality of my book, the cover design, the typeset and the paper are excellent. I was very pleased with the level of detail by the production department. I was also pleased with the work of the publicity department as well as distribution,

Olympia Publishers has been awesome to work with right from the very beginning. Every person, in every department I have dealt with has been helpful, friendly, courteous, and patient with all of my many questions and concerns. For example, I was very picky about how I wanted the cover to look. I didn't like the first one and they came up with a second one. I wasn't happy with that one either, but they had no problem doing a third one. And, WOW, was I impressed with it. They absolutely nailed it! I was pleasantly surprised when FedEx dropped off an unexpected package just over a week ago. It was my complimentary copies! What a nice surprise! The finished books look amazing! More recently, my book showed up on Amazon and Barnes and Noble for preorder, several days before the scheduled release date. Another nice surprise! I didn't know a thing about the process going in so I feel so fortunate that I chose Olympia Publishers. I highly recommend them. Thank you, Olympia Publishers!

Olympia Publishers have been great to work with so far and are understanding of my needs. They have been helpful and explained things when I have not understood something and hope to work with them for future books.

My experience with Olympia Publishers has been a very inspiring and exceptional one. My first book will be launched soon, and I am well on my way towards the second. Olympia has provided me with efficient updates during every stage of the process. My feedback has also duly been thoughtfully acknowledged. I look forward to a continued working relationship with them.

My experience with Olympia publishers has been a cruise so far: they are patient and professional, listen to my needs and are more than willing to help in every stage of the publishing process. I can't know for sure how my book is going to sell as I am yet to experience the marketing stage with them, hence only 4 stars. Overall, I am very pleased with how things turned out and I can't wait to see my books printed and ready to be sold ! Thank you Olympia publishers for making a dream come true.

I can give my own experience.
I’m looking at the other lower rate reviews and they scare me.
But from my own experience I thought they were very efficient. They got back to me within the given timeframe. My co ordinator was very quick returning my emails. They acknowledged my decisions.
I was happy with my book cover. When I was impatient about hearing back from other departments they kept me informed and apologized.
They gave me updates on their progress.
Overall I had a good experience with Olympia Publishing.

If there is anything I would like to help people with their dreams it is to tell them not to use Olympia to publish their book. Olympia will deliver their promise on publishing your book, they will make a good design and they will do an alright job at corrections. But trust me, you will be so let down in the long run. They do not promote your book like they say they will and you are pretty much left on your own after the first month. The person in charge of your book will not even reply to most of your emails. Olympia will get your book available online and you will feel great when you see it available around the world in online stores but hear these words carefully, Olympia will not promote your book or get you on the radio or newspapers or anything they say. My book sold many copies in the month before release and I had many friends and family members call me months later saying they never even got their book but Olympia took the money. Olympia are not what they portray to be, they just have a very good set up to make you think that they're good.
You will earn more money and have more chance by publishing your book on Amazon KDP. Pay someone to check your book. Use AI to make your own book cover and never ever let Olympia anywhere near your book.

If you use Olympia after reading this, don't feel sorry for yourself when your dreams are shattered because I tried to warn you.

It was awful, they took my savings, took my book and yes produced a lovely product, of which I received 10 for free, for £2900, sent some leaflets and a poster and told to get on with it, completely blind, no one would help me, support me, or guide me, nine months later there was the pandemic and they dropped me because I couldn't promote my own book, because of lockdowns and lack of knowledge in social media, I was left to drown with this company as at the time I was very dependent on help, as I was an unpaid carer for my autistic daughter, it ruined my life, but I have noticed, some are successful and they will be those that have time and money.

It took me many years of trying to get my novels published. I tried self-publishing and that caused me to go bald. Honestly I was very nervous going back and forth with structure and revisions and cover designs but in the end, my first novel has been published and the number and quality of sales sites that are now carrying my book is WAY beyond what I ever expected.

I am thrilled with the opportunity they gave me to publish my first book (and second). They provided me with all the necessary guidance and support and allowed me to have a reasonable degree of control over the cover design. Throughout the publishing process, they went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction as an author by providing invaluable revision recommendations and overall support. Their commitment to involving me in important decisions, like the cover design and edits, demonstrates their dedication to my success.

Absolutely Brilliant! When publishing my first book they gave me a grate opportunity and all the advice and help I needed as well as giving me a good amount of control over things like the cover design est.

3rd time dealing with this company, 1st time was excellent, 2nd was acceptable, 3rd was downright incompetent. We supplied the script and images but somehow Olympia still managed to add in various spelling and grammatical errors. We caught most of them but sadly one made it through to print, Olympia’s answer ‘well you signed it off.’
They dragged their heels at every corner, when we expressed concern about how long this book was taking they said they were still in the time frame as written in the contract, then they went over the time frame and only really started moving when we threatened involving a solicitor. I don’t know what has happened internally at this company, but it has gone down hill at an alarming rate.
My advice to anyone thinking of using Olympia Publishing - avoid, avoid, AVOID!

Avoid! I chose to publish my third book with Olympia after they did a good job with my first two. My children's books are a passion project and mean a lot to me and this time around they treated my story like trash. They broke the contract by exceeding the given time to complete the manuscript to publication, communication was near non-existent and they actually edited in mistakes! The final copy is not up to a satisfactory standard.
And I can already anticipate the ridiculous response from the editor, the "were sorry you feel this way ..." well its absolutely unacceptable. Thank you for taking what meant the world to mean and treating it (and me) like trash!

Olympia publishers are a rogue publisher. Their editing was non existent as was their flawed marketing strategy. Really I had to do all the work. Please do not use them. There are better publishers in abundance and its best to feel comfortable with one rather than to be seduced by their self styled, sweet as honey sounding attitude. Please don't get sucked in by this sweet as honey attitude. You are wasting your money. Most books hardly sell. I was lucky. I found a really good American publishers who treated me with respect and kindness. I ended up republishing all my works. Yes. I was lucky. Don't be fooled in particular by the commissioning editor James Houghton and the publishing coordinator Kristina Smith. So called kind words from the publisher and what they promise to do for you will not sell your books. My advice is to put all your effort into writing a good book and find a publisher who will deliver the goods!!!!!!!!!
