Poetry for the Hungry
Austin Macauley Publications were very patient with me through the editing process of my first publication. I am truly grateful to every department for their hard work in bringing this publication to fruition.
I highly recommend this company, more so for those who have never been published before and whom need guidance and reassurance.
Thankyou so much.
Denise Le'Anne.

Thank you, Denise, for your kind words and thoughtful recommendation. We're so pleased to hear that you felt supported throughout your publishing journey.
It was our pleasure to work with you and help bring your first book to life. Wishing you continued success and inspiration in your writing journey!
Grateful to you for your fantastic work!
Accurate and detailed about the procedure. Keeping me informed, very kind and willing to explain, adapt, etc.
As this was my first experience, I learned that after the second preview of the draft it isn't possible to make further changes, while there were still certain details that needed to be adjusted. So I learned from that as well. Thank you all very much for a wonderful experience and for your great work!

Austin Macauley is Professional, Personal and Proactive
Austin Macauley is, in my opinion, a highly professional publishing company and one which upholds exacting standards in all departments.
Throughout the whole publishing process, from the original submission of the manuscript of my novel, ‘Dark Runs the River’, through to the actual publication, I cannot speak too highly of the professionalism, creativity and friendliness of everyone, without exception, with whom I have dealt. In one instance only, where I expressed a concern, this was dealt with immediately and entirely to my satisfaction.
The finished publication, I believe, to be exceptional and the supporting advertising material equally so.
I very much look forward to working with Austin Macauley with, hopefully, a second novel.

I do not believe this company at all
I do not believe this company at all, from start to finish it has been a complete shambles, once you hand over your hard earned money communication ceases. They promise to promote your book through media stations etc ( rubbish) editing was a shambles, 3rd time they got it right my 15 year grandson did a better job. They have basically done nothing to promote my book, I’m embarrassed to say I fell for for this dishonest company and will now be asking a refund for the stress they have caused .

No Gripes about AMP
I'm currently working on my second book with AMP, as my first experience with them was very good. They were there when I had questions and 100% followed any directions I had regarding my book The Sisters Graves. I truly had full creative lead on my work. People complain that you have to pay, but that's becoming the norm throughout the industry, unless you are a full-on celebrity and traditional publishers know they can recoup an advance, if you even get one - or you have an in or a connection within a particular company. Few, if any, will take you on, let alone read your work, without one of those two things. Also, when you pay, you basically become a financial partner in your own work. You have more control over your own work. I've worked with "traditional" publishers and ended up crying over their choices - them having ignored my input. Personally, I've had a great experience with AMP. Until I don't, I'll stay. They are cooperative and yet accommodating. As far as the marketing, the norm today, also, is that the author has to do a great deal of the marketing. I'm very lazy about that, yet I've sold more books with AMP than with traditional publishers I've been with, with the exception of one. Anyway, good luck, whichever company you go with! I'm just giving you my personal experience with AMP.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for trusting us again with your second book. It means a great deal to hear that The Sisters Graves was a positive journey for you and that you felt creatively supported throughout the process.
We believe that every author should have a say in how their book takes shape, and it is great to know that our team delivered. You highlighted something so important—being a financial partner in your own work can give authors more creative control and ownership, which is exactly what our partnership model is designed to do.
We also appreciate your thoughts on marketing. As you rightly said, today’s landscape often calls for authors to take an active role in promotion, and we are always here with resources and materials to help support that process.
Thank you once again for your kind words. We look forward to seeing your next title come to life.

Austin Macauley printed my book
Austin Macauley printed my book, Cornelius and Cedric's Woodland Adventure', in 2025. Stayed in regular contact. Answered the many questions I had quickly. Gave me an estimated print date but came in four months early. Made a very good job of the book, cover to cover. Adhered to my wishes.

Beware these guys are a scam
Beware these guys are a scam, your book won't sell because they don't market the books, they take your money (hefty fees) throw it on Amazon, 100% vanity publishing at an extortionate cost, national TV already investigating their activities, walk away and if you can't get a real deal via a bona fide publisher, then self-publish via amazon, scam, scam, scam!!

Hi Kevin,
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We understand that personal expectations can vary throughout the publishing journey. However, we'd like to clarify important points regarding our publishing model and the services we provide.
Our publishing model offers two types of contracts, as stated on our website, should we wish to accept or deny the opportunity to publish. An offer of a publishing agreement depends on various factors, such as marketability. The decision to offer a specific contract is not a reflection of an author's talent or the quality of their writing, but rather a business assessment of the publishing viability of a manuscript. All publishing costs are transparently outlined in the agreement, and there is no obligation to proceed. We understand the different routes to publishing that may align with individual expectations.
Our marketing support is not limited to just listing books on Amazon. We work with global distribution partners such as Ingram, Gardners, Overdrive, and Findaway, making books available in print, digital, and audio formats worldwide. We strive to support each of our authors with a tailored approach, including pitching books to various outlets, though the outcome of these efforts can sometimes vary and is dependent on the interest from third parties. We're proud to have supported many authors throughout the publishing journey and highlight the key achievements on our website.
Should you require assistance, please contact our marketing department. We'd be happy to help.
If you value your work watch them very carefully.
I sent Austin Macauley a perfected and protected copy of my book - painfully corrected after they had somehow botched my work through edits on more than one occasion - to the point I refused to sign the certificate of proof and escalated my concerns. I had sent them the copy for print and the copy that was published was literally littered with mistakes, poor formatting and was an embarrassment to promote and I cringed every time I tried to read it. Still, today I tried to read a section and it literally made me seethe with annoyance hence the delayed review of my own book trusted to Austin Macauley. They don't care and will destroy your work. Beware. UPDATE - This review is currently being reviewed and I will update at the end of the procedure in all fairness.

I can't even give them 1 star
I can't even give them 1 star, however to write this review I gave them 1 star. Anyone who gives them a good review probably works for them. In 2020 I paid them to publish my book. I also paid them to re publish a previously published book. They continued to make errors, including "eliminated paragraphs,"dropped the ending of the book. Emailed me Christmas Eve and if the book wasn't completed in 24 hours they were going to print all the errors, they made. I have never received a royalty payment on either book. they did not adhere to the contract. They are apparently a European company as all correspondence comes from Europe. They claim to be a New york company. ??? Do not use this company!!!

I do not recommend Austin Macauley…
I do not recommend Austin Macauley unfortunately. Keep looking - Be patient.
They are just in the middle of a scam and not a scam. They know all the tricks to make themselves look like the professionals that care about the writer - trust me - they do not. I did ALL the work for my book- AM would send me promptly the bill due date every month. But they never actually did any editing & proofreading. I created the cover etc... They kept asking me to sign the proof reading contract - if I had signed it - I would have paid for my book with errors. They do not CARE. They did minimal marketing and they NEVER PAID ME for the books I SOLD.
Bad MOJO! STay away! Be patient - if your work is good - it will happen.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
At Austin Macauley, we take our responsibility to authors seriously and strive to offer a supportive, collaborative publishing journey. For partnership contracts, the publishing fee covers professional services such as proofreading, typesetting, cover design, and distribution and at no point should an author feel like they are carrying the process alone.
Proofreading is a key part of our production process, and authors are always given the chance to review and approve their manuscript before it goes to print.
As for royalty payments, these are issued in accordance with the schedule outlined in your contract.
Wishing you the very best for the future.
What is the fee for?
I was sent a contract which asked me to pay the company £3000 to publish a novel. No figure was given for the number of copies that would be printed, and in fact, as I found out, they only print on demand. They take your money but take no risk. In order to recoup £3000, with a royalty of 60% on a book price of £10, you would have to sell 500 copies. Most first-time novelists don't even sell 200 copies in their first year.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We understand your concerns, and we appreciate the opportunity to provide some clarity around our publishing model and practices.
At Austin Macauley, we offer both traditional contracts, where the company covers all publishing costs, and partnership contracts, where the author is asked to contribute financially. In a partnership model, we cover up to two-thirds of the total publishing cost, and the author contribution supports services like editing, design, production, distribution, and marketing.
We understand that investing in your work is a significant decision, and we strive to be transparent about the costs involved. Each contract is reviewed in consultation with our editorial team, and we encourage authors to ask as many questions as they need before making a decision.
If you’d like to discuss your experience further or have specific concerns about your contract, our team would be happy to speak with you directly. Please feel free to contact us at mail@austinmacauley.com.
