How I Lost $18K to Ashbery Publishing—And What They Don’t Want You to Know
However, Ashbery Publishing took control of much more than marketing. They registered the ISBN under their name, took ownership of my website domain and social media accounts, and listed themselves as my publisher in press releases all without my consent.
Despite their claims, they did not secure any bookstore placements or bestseller status. Promised ARC reviews never materialized and their PR efforts lacked transparency and measurable results.
My book ended up only on Amazon instead of multiple platforms as promised. Deadlines were repeatedly missed, and promised marketing efforts were not delivered. When I refused to pay an additional $12,000 for an audiobook contract they pushed, they pressured me to “find the money” anyway.
