I am a published author. I was contacted by them to take on my books with traditional publishing. I would cost $3000. I paid $1500 at a time. Then I was contacted and told that Word Smith magazine was interested in doing a piece on me and my books. Of course that would cost $1000 as I would fly to New York and they would pay for a 3 night stay so I could be interviewed for the article. The piece was to come out in the April of 2023 addition. Next I was contacted that Netflix was interested in doing a movie on my series but they needed to have a screen play first. They would put together a trailer for the movie to show good faith (which they did) and the screen play would cost $4000. The person who contacted me was Chris Wayne and he suddenly became ill and they turned me over to David Johnson. I talked with him about the publishing and the article. He told me that the article was being postponed for one month and that he would make sure I would get a copy. When the day passed for the article, I tried to call David Johnson and the phone was disconnected. Then I tried Chris Waynes and the same thing. All throughout the process I was telling them that I though they were scamming me and they convinced me that was not true.

I paid for her to publish my book via this page http://www.derashayzorn.com/pub.php

She had published my friends book so I trusted her. I approached her in 2019 asking a variety of questions but I wasn't ready to actually pay for the service until 2021. I paid her $1500 in April 2021.

Afterward she took months to return edits, I paid an additional $250 to re-edit the book. What should've taken a few weeks took months which delayed the process and even when I asked her to just publish the book as is, she never did. She was supposed to publish it for $1000 the premium package and then by the time I was ready the price went up to 1500 and I was trying to get it published as soon as possible and now the price is 2000. I had already paid her the 1500 in April 2021. And I have contacted her on numerous occasions via text and email to ask her to please just be published the book online so that I could sell it on Barnes & Noble's and Amazon. I mentioned we could print the 50 hard copies later. No response since March 2023. I've tried contacting her approximately 10+ times since March 2023 and she has not responded at all. I have all the text messages and emails if you need me to forward them to a specific email.
