Olympia Publishers Reviews 169

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.

Olympia, and every department in it, have been absolutely brilliant in supporting and helping me with the publication of my first book. From start to finish, they have guided me every step of the way, and the finished product is beyond anything I could ever have imagined. I’m so excited for its release too! Thank you to everyone at Olympia, and I hope that you get to do lots more work with you over the coming years:)

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!
