I was approached by Kelly White on Feb 21, 2022, by email. Telling me that they had scouted my book and were interested in rebranding my book. They would get it in front of traditional publishers,

and movie producers. I gave them 500.00 a month, and on the third month after, they said it would be done in 30 days. It wasn't even in print or ready to finish for three months. They never finished or published it. They promised they would have it in stores and they lied.I asked for a refund and that never happened and requested a manuscript back

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.
