A Publishing Company of Scammers

1

I am one of the published authors of PageTurner Press and Media and it was indeed a very horrible experience because they made me believe that my book will be picked up by a Traditional Publishing firm and be able to sell more copies of my book by buying different marketing services from them which I ended up investing over $10,000 but NEVER RECEIVE ANY ROYALTY AT ALL for over a year being their Published Author. They are actually very rude and unprofessional every time I ask for my Royalty Check and even had the nerve to let me invest again and again. Don't believe any of their Marketing Consultants because they are just into commissions that they can earn from their innocent authors. In fact, when I did research about this company in Writers Beware https://accrispin.blogspot.com/2018/, I found out that they are a SCAM COMPANY and is located in the Philippines being owned by a Filipino named Michael Cris Sordilla who used to be an employee of Author Solutions. PageTurner Press and Media is one of the clones of Authors Solutions. They will make you fall into their trap. Don't believe about their false promises because it's a LIE... They are not affiliated with any traditional publishing company and cannot sell any copies of your book. From Writer's Beware: I've gotten a number of reports from authors who have been solicited out of the blue by PageTurner Press and Media. Like many clones, PageTurner actively attempts to poach authors from their current publishers or self-pub platforms, claiming that its "agents" or "scouts" have discovered the author's book and that it can offer a better deal than the author's current situation. Here's PageTurner's re-publication pitch, included with the email solicitation it sent to one AuthorHouse-published author. Fortunately, the author smelled a rat and contacted me. Note the characteristically poor English: Price tag for this PUBLISHING GRANT? Just $10,000. In addition to publishing packages, PageTurner's array of "Powerhouse Services" (a.k.a junk marketing) reads like it was ripped from the website of an Author Solutions imprint (which of course is no accident). Its About Us page exhibits the usual windy and unverifiable claims of experience ("PageTurner, Press and Media is a rebranding of an institution that used to operate in the shadows of other publishing firms as a trusted provider of vendible [sic] titles"), including a claim to have "officially opened its doors" in the summer of 2016, a whole year before it registered its web domain. There's even a bogus award. That domain registration was updated in 2018 to match PageTurner's supposed California address, but here's the original registration, from August 2017 and rather farther away:
