What stood out most about Curtis Publishing Company was their communication and transparency. They kept me informed during the pubocess and explained each step clearly. There were a couple of revisions needed before final approval but the team handled everything professionally.
The marketing team was very helpful in promoting my book online. They provided useful strategies and improved my book’s visibility across platforms. While results naturally took some time, I noticed steady growth in engagement and sales.
My experience with Curtis Publishing has been outstanding from start to finish. From my first contact with Max and the insightful guidance of Senior Publishing Consultant James while I was completing my dissertation, every interaction reflected genuine professionalism and care.
As I moved from dissertation to monograph, I worked almost daily with my project manager, Antonio, whose clarity, creativity, and steady support made the entire process both productive and enjoyable. The project advanced with remarkable momentum.
The book cover they designed is stunning—vibrant, striking, and deeply evocative of the heart of my Mmadụ project. As a first time author working across story, theology, and culture, I appreciated how the team helped refine my ideas for both academic and general audiences.
The marketing support—blog posts, videos, news updates, and social media content—was timely, creative, and encouraging. Every link and update reinforced the sense that the project was truly coming to life.
I am very pleased with the final result and gladly recommend Curtis Publishing to both new and established authors. Their guidance was attentive, competent, and consistent at every step.

Working with Curtis Publishing Company has been an exceptional experience from start to finish. Having worked with several publishing companies in the past, I can confidently say that this was by far the best collaboration I’ve had. What truly stood out to me was their professionalism, transparency, and their commitment to delivering exactly what they promised, and then going beyond that.
The entire publishing process was handled smoothly and efficiently. Their team guided me through each step with clarity and support, making what can often be a stressful process feel seamless and exciting. One of the highlights of my experience was the audiobook they created for my book. The quality, production value, and attention to detail were outstanding, and it brought my work to life in a way I hadn’t imagined.
Beyond publishing, their promotional efforts were equally impressive. Thanks to their strategies and reach, my book gained exposure on a global scale, something I had struggled to achieve with previous companies. It was clear that they genuinely cared about the success of my work and invested real effort into making it happen.
What sets Curtis Publishing Company apart is their ability to not only meet expectations but exceed them. In an industry where promises are often overblown, they delivered with integrity and results.
I’m truly grateful for this experience and look forward to collaborating with them again as I continue to self-publish my upcoming books. I highly recommend them to any author looking for a reliable and results-driven publishing partner.

Working with Curtis Publishing Company was genuinely an outstanding experience that exceeded my expectations in every way. From the very beginning, their team demonstrated a high level of professionalism, clarity, and commitment to bringing my vision to life. What stood out most was how smoothly the entire publishing process was handled, they made something that initially felt overwhelming become structured, manageable, and even enjoyable.
Their editorial support was exceptional. Every piece of feedback felt thoughtful and purposeful, improving the quality of the work without taking away its originality. It never felt like a rigid process; instead, it felt collaborative, as if they were truly invested in making the final product the best it could be.
On the marketing side, they went above and beyond. Their approach wasn’t generic, it was tailored, strategic, and clearly built around reaching the right audience. I could see the effort they put into positioning the work effectively, and that attention to detail made a noticeable difference. The blend of traditional publishing expertise with modern promotional strategies gave me confidence that my work was in the right hands.
Overall, my experience with Curtis Publishing Company was nothing short of excellent. They delivered not just on promises, but on results, making the entire journey feel rewarding and worthwhile

Paid $5,000 and got extremely poor editing that looks rushed and low-effort. Big promises at the start, but once the money was taken, everything changed.
Communication dropped off, responses became slow or nonexistent, and now I’m being completely ignored despite repeated follow-ups.
This feels misleading and unprofessional. I would strongly warn others to be very careful before sending any money.

I spent $6K working with Curtis to publish two books, and then they scammed me out of another $9K by telling me they were going to send four people to the London Book Fair to exclusively talk about my two books and promote them to thousands of people.
Now the real story. They promised that they would work with me to edit the book and publish the book, only to discover that they used AI to generate the first book cover, and the second book cover was so far off target that I had to supply them the artwork, and they basically used my artwork for the second book cover. In editing, they made a few punctuation changes but didn't revise the book or provide professional feedback. Basically, they corrected mistakes and then did something I could have done without paying for their service: they used my Amazon account to upload the books. So if you are thinking about publishing a book with Curtis, save your money; they are only looking to take your money and offer zero added value to your work.
Let's look at the scam they ran on the London Book Fair. Once again, they are telling me that my book was amazing and that they will only focus on promoting it to people who purchase book, television, and movie rights. I was supposed to have a dedicated booth at the event, only to discover that they had my information on a rolling television slide show, and it wasn't even correct. They used my personal business information and website, which would have confused anyone looking to purchase licenses or buy rights. When I addressed this, I was told that I would be given the full disclosure on everyone they were talking to. It's been nearly two months, and crickets! I have sent several emails to them, but haven't received any responses.
I'm sorry, but this company is predatory and often misleads authors. I am embarrassed by how I feel about the lies and misrepresentation of this publisher. I thought I did my due diligence and found a trustworthy company, but the reality is that they are nothing more than a shark preying on the minnows looking to publish a book. And sadly, you have zero recourse to get your money back.
Curtis Publishing Company is a dependable and professional publishing partner. They helped me with book writing and publishing, ensuring my manuscript was polished and publication-ready. Their team was transparent, supportive and committed to delivering quality work. I’m grateful for their guidance throughout the process.

The truth is that the attention and information has been pleasantly very positive and clear on the part of Max.
The indications have been very clear and very kind on your part in each of the doubts and questions I had about publishing my books with you.
It has been a pleasure and I hope this is the beginning of a great job on your part and a great adventure for me. Thank you
