I am a published author on Amazon of four books. I highly recommend Brooklyn ghostwriting here is why the ghostwriter that was assigned to me was brilliant. He collaborated with me with all my ideas and made them into masterpieces, but unfortunately due to a family issue, I asked for their money back. Guarantee, I was so fortunate to have Travis Johnson help me. He was always there and made sure that the company refunded my money. I am extremely satisfied and suggest that you use this company for your ghostwriting and marketing needs. Sincerely, George

In my humble experience, it is good to notice both positive and negative outliers in experiences with businesses. Where recognizing outstanding performance leads others to modify and enhance their actions.
Rosetta Turner stands out as a very positive outlier for Brooklyn Ghostwriting to me, a person who recognizes opportunities for enhancement and has the brilliant follow-through to get real tasks done well. Since working with Rosetta I have seen whole departments shift into higher gears of efficiency, and her hard work continually builds trust for me in my book publishing and marketing experience. I highly recommend Rosetta Turner for her hard work and forthright approach as a lead manager at Brooklyn Ghostwriting.

This company offered to promote my book on social media and charged me for it. All I got was a video trailer and ignored messages and calls when I inquired about what they promised. My request for a refund was also ignored. Stay away from this company at all costs.

I am Juan Pablo Avila, I hired an editorial to help me to write my first book but they didn't please me it was a disaster, so be careful when you hire an editorial, for my second book hire a new editorial, Brooklyn Ghostwriting, big changes since the interview Brooklyn Ghostwriting, assign mister John Murphy, to be my agent to write my book and I am so happy with the results and help mister John Murphy is giving to achieve on writing my , he treats me as a friend he send me a greeting asking how is my day, that only a great professional agent can do, thank you Brooklyn Ghostwriting for giving me the opportunity to work with the agent John Murphy who is a great professional and help me to write my book since this journey is something very important to me, again thank you Brooklyn Ghostwriting as well mister John Murphy, great job.

I had a great experience working with John Murphy on my book. He’s very knowledgeable on everything that he was helping me with. At the end, I ended with a great book of poetry. Thanks to him and his team who are working with him on the book.

I was thrilled to work with Brooklyn Ghostwriting. My experience form another publisher was not so good and I was suspicious and nervous in selecting a new publisher. I was blessed! I was able to work with Jane Williams who restlessly worked with me to accomplish our goals. The ability to reach her when needed, or soon thereafter was great. I knew when I left a message the call would be returned - and it always was, They have done much more that just publish my book, but also are working tirelessly on a website that is not generic. Again, thanks a bunch to Jane Williams who heads up this project as well. I highly recommend Brooklyn Ghostwriting to those who want real answers to their questions, and a company that has years of experience in the industry and in the people business.

I just want to say that they did an amazing job with all my needs . The team that worked on my memoir did an excellent job! I loved the way they did every chapter! I have all 5 star reviews since the book has been published I could not be more happy!! I specifically want to thank my project manager Jane Williams for all her hard work and patience’s she was wonderful and I would highly recommend her and the company!

Stay away from this company. I gave them 6 books for them to format for me so that I could upload to Amazon. Six months later they still have not formatted my books properly. They have no clue that they are doing and when you ask them to do one thing they take it on their selves to change something else. They just make things worse. Im having to take my projects away from them and give them to someone else. My financial loss, it’s a hard lesson to learn.

I receive an excellent service from Jane Williams and her team. I've been with her now many years and planning to stay.
Thank you Jane!

Brooklyn was great with me as a first time Author. I am very satisfied with the end product. I didn't understand why i had so many different project managers. I personally had trouble with the teams accents, being from the midwest it was hard to understand, but everyone was patient as things were explained to me. I also think at times Brooklyn was always trying to sell me something, maybe a little too pushy. My last project manager , Jennifer Stark, was awesome, She worked hard to explain the final process to get my book published. Thank You, Author Chris Hammen

I worked with Jane Williams and the Brooklyn team while publishing my book Diary of a Worthless Man. As a first-time author, the process was a learning experience for me. Jane was professional, responsive, and helpful in guiding me through the technical side of publishing, including getting the book live on major platforms and setting up the infrastructure around the project.

The experience helped me understand how the publishing process works and what it takes to establish an author platform. I appreciate the professionalism Jane showed during our work together and her willingness to communicate throughout the process.

Everyone at Brooklyn Publishing was outstanding. As a first time author I needed all the professional information and help I could get. Kevin and his team are 1st class all the way.

Brooklyn ghost writing company hasn’t let me down so far and have actually been impressive especially with the project manager assigned to me Jennifer Stark who is amazing I wouldn’t have anyone else as my (pm) or I would find a entirely new company. So I recommend this company helping you get your writing project completed 👍🏾 😊

My experience with Brooklyn Ghostwriting has been one of deep care and concern for making sure my story is written in the same light as if I had written it myself.
Jane Williams has made me feel connected with her and her team at all times keeping me from feeling detached from the writing process. I am thankful for the relationship I have with her.

As an entrepreneur, I felt that writing a book would help me become known as an authority in my profession. But I just didn't have the time. Brooklyn ghostwriting did everything: writing, publishing... Their team handled it all professionally.

I hired Brooklyn Ghostwriting in October 2024 to build a website and market my book. As part of the agreement, they guaranteed the sale of 350 books over a four-month contract.

At the end of four months, nothing meaningful had been delivered. The website work was incomplete, and there was no evidence of real marketing or book sales activity.

Believing the situation might improve, I extended the relationship through October 2025. Unfortunately, the outcome was the same. Deadlines passed, deliverables were missed, and progress was minimal to nonexistent. When a new contract was proposed with added “perks,” I gave them one final opportunity. Again, no meaningful work was completed.

The most frustrating part of this experience was communication. Emails and messages routinely went unanswered for long stretches. However, when it came time to upsell additional services, communication suddenly became prompt and persistent. This happened multiple times over the course of our year-plus relationship.

Ultimately, I was able to recover my payments only by filing a credit card dispute. While I did get my money back, the time and effort lost—reviewing drafts, following up repeatedly, and managing a situation that should never have required this level of oversight—was significant.

I am sharing this review so other authors can make an informed decision. Based on my experience, I would strongly caution anyone considering Brooklyn Ghostwriting to get everything in writing, be skeptical of guaranteed sales claims, and understand that you may need to pursue refunds through your credit card company rather than the firm itself.

I was promised a full team of experienced writers and complete book support, but only one mid level writer ever worked on my project — something the company later admitted to me in writing.

From day one, I faced constant upselling, including extremely overpriced “a-la-carte” services like ISBN registration, marketing, and Amazon setup costing thousands of dollars before the book was even written.

I ultimately paid an additional upgrade fee, tripling my original cost, to access the “senior team” I was promised. That team never existed, and the writing quality barely improved. I ended up rewriting the manuscript myself.

Be aware of:
• Claims of large writing “teams” that do not exist
• Aggressive, high-priced upselling from the start
• Paying significant upgrade fees for services not delivered

I strongly recommend choosing a more transparent and reputable provider.

Brooklyn Ghostwriting is a swindle and rip-off company, in regards to their book marketing.

I am a published author who required marketing for one of my books.

I signed an agreement with Jay Davis, convinced by his sales pitch and falsehoods that Brooklyn Ghostwriting was an honest company.

Nothing could have been further from the truth.

Brooklyn Ghostwriting utterly and completely failed in the marketing campaign for my book. That is not why I am giving them the lowest rating I possibly can. Failure can occur in life. However, honesty is most important.

Considering that failure could occur, I explained to Jay Davis that I was a simple author and could not afford to hire his company unless a modest ROI ratio was guaranteed by the contract.

Jay Davis accepted the terms.

I hired Brooklyn Ghostwriting and it was the worst decision I could’ve made.

Within a week (no exaggeration) Jay Davis quit the project and disappeared.

Another project manager was assigned. Then another.

Five project managers, in all, were assigned to the failed project.

It was a horrible experience and the ROI book sale numbers we had agreed on were not even close to being achieved.

When the time line that was agreed on by the contract was reached, I exercised my option to terminate the agreement and requested my money back, per the guarantee.

Do you think that Brooklyn Ghostwriting did the right thing and returned the money that they guaranteed?

No. In the contrary, they did not honor their word.

If this company contacts you regarding marketing DO NOT BELIEVE THEM. THEY ARE LIARS AND CROOKS.

DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY.

The editing team at this company saved my work when I was having a hard time getting it in shape. They provided helpful feedback and helped me improve my writing. The publishing process was also quite straightforward. They managed every aspect of the process on my behalf. My book now has the feel and appearance of a genuine one!
