Violated our contract Avoid this company
I think the reviews are bought This isn t accurate at all these 5 stars Look at how all the 5 stars are written so close in dates I ve worked with a writing coach in the past I have also worked with a scamming publishing business that was very similar to Book Writing Lane They guaranteed me excellence this time Then they asked for a deposit Typical Started August 2023 I got assigned to Sabrina They cut my price in half and said I could make monthly payments at my leisure During the fall I communicated about wanting to proceed with payments January 2024 because Sabrina told me that they would not ghost write for my book violation of contract and that the team could complete my book I d finish writing alone edit publish the whole thing in 90 days So I asked for the fall the winter to write my own book Even though my contract said ghostwriting Mind you I had written a good 80 of the book by myself already I just needed help with a few chapters No can do said Sabrina She told me to have the book completely written by myself before getting it to the team for editing Suddenly through the winter I was texting and calling Sabrina I was not getting a response Harvey tells me she got fired for misconduct when I got tired of being ghosted by no responses I finally just reached out to the company itself So another violation of contract firing my point of contact and leaving me hanging I told him I wasn t feeling comfortable continuing payment until I could see some progress as obviously they wasted 5 months of my time I gave them 150 payment in January 2024 just to start making sure that I could have all payments closer to submission by June 2024 when the book was supposed to be published Per Harvey Harvey told me numerous times money isn t a priority No worries you ve paid 450 out of 2500 as long as we get payment completion by the publishing of the book we are good Cover of book was awful because that s the easiest job for them which probably took them five minutes I settled on something that was less than great after numerous crappy options Because I was tired of them sending me fluffy pink book cover ideas on a story of a victim DV Also they sent me covers with females on it they need to understand that DV can happen to men too Absolutely no consideration for the marketing of a cover of a book Outline was wrong entirely Never did another one for me Never responded to my email about drafting another one that was correct When all was said done on February 15 2024 I fired them All FOUR of them Harvey Shane Veronica Rebecca and the ghost Sabrina was gone already who they already fired It had been SIX MONTHS FIVE people had their hands in my story Nobody ever knew about my book they all were confused about what the story was even about while pretending to honor admire my story They pull the whole yes we love your story But they never tell you what they like about it That s because they don t know about your story I tested this theory when talking to Veronica she didn t know anything about my story she kept asking me questions about it Things I already told other people numerous times Plus it s all in an email By the next phone call or the next person they had completely forgotten about me what we were supposed to be writing about When I would Express my frustrations they would get frustrated with me They have a tendency to talk over you you can t ask them questions or get an explanation They act like they want to proceed with the overall goal with you but every week passes then suddenly a month passes then suddenly it s two months Suddenly you try to call again and they can t get to you because the call dropped they re in business meetings or person one is not available so they hand you off to person two three or four They took two weeks to send me 3 POORLY edited chapters It was obvious they hadn t done much at all Meanwhile I have two kids a husband two jobs and I was able to write 12 chapters in 3 months But they couldn t even edit three of those already written chapters for me properly In two weeks When I finally had the courage to say this is not working it s been six months I do not feel the contract was fulfilled I put this in writing Support was emailing me back that they had stopped working with me in the fall of 2023 because of payment To cover their butts on all the violations of contract Fortunately I kept everything Every call text and a recording I think they try to get a lot of people involved so you can t find this stuff But I had it all When they got fired they referred to me as their dear client trying to keep me Also lying in their response - We haven t talked since Feb 2024 My bank returned 150 300 was kept because I wouldn t take this review down

The SCAM operation details of BWL
The SCAM operation of Book Writing Lane as messaged by a new employee to me yesterday He said the following and all I did was copy paste to keep his identity anonymous I think you didn t bought any company as an investor let me tell you the process When you buy a company you take everything but only if its a smooth transition but we invested in this company initially and the same harvey mike and others were working for us just the stakes were taken by our new managementNow after a month of this transition they all shut down everything and said they re leaving since they don t wanna work with usWe tried to settle the matter and it took legal way tooBut this is something not in our control since we hardly knew about this business at that time Mike then told us he will exit the company and will take his shares and clients with him and since they had their own bank accounts and setup so they took everything with them The only thing we agreed on is to use the business but after 3 months we got to know thatBWL was all scam so we reached out to them and said that it was discussed that BWL will not be using this name anymore but it took an odd turn and conversation got heated and our management said okay take the brand and we will not give anything else to you and whatever data we have we will try to resolve the issues and if someone comes to us and wants to work with us we will ask them to take their money from you all and work with us So I know they all exist but these are all fake names too as I was told the same HarveyMike ShaneThey r still scamming many like me To all other victims of crime like me I got a police report and legal help to go after them And reported them to many agencies This is my 3rd review here on this site
