  • Review fromGary S

    I write to warn you about using Newman Communications to promote your book. In November 2023, I paid Mr. ******************** $2,500 to promote my new religious biography. He promised me at least ten radio interviews or podcasts and to work to get my book discussed by bloggers and reviewed in various publications. I never received a single interview, podcast, or review. When I asked for a refund, he promised to send one in 30 days. When he failed to do that, I contacted him repeatedly for six weeks, and he kept promising to send a check, which he never did. I have subsequently discovered many other complaints about his work. See ************************************************************** I note that Mr. ******************** often replies to these complaints to disparage the authors who criticize his exploitation of them. Mr. ******************** approached me about promoting my book which is published by a leading university press and therefore has gone thorough a thorough vetting process by scholars.

    Scam alert!These guys sound good at the beginning and guarantee 20 podcast guest spots for $1500, but they dont deliver. They dont even respond. They dont even an effort to deliver, much less feel badly about it.I cant believe I fell for this, and I hope that you wont.

    ******************************* is a well known right to life activist. Her book was rejected by hundreds of media. Her abusive narrative about women could not be pitched. While we believe that there are two sides to this argument, ********   a womens right to choose to terminate a pregnancy, I have two adopted children. ******** puts herself out as an advocate for adoption. She is not. She is an angry advocate against a womans right to choose. She has been sent back her fee and refuses to acknowledge that.

    I signed on with Newman Communications in January 2023 and my experience with them exceeded my expectations. They were open and honest about how they could support my goals and the entire process was an impeccable experience. On both a personal and professional level, I appreciated their consistent communication, follow through, and ability to individualize my needs. Likewise, the investment paid for itself several times over. The Newman Communications team is top notch. You will not be disappointed. Make the investment in yourself!

    Adding my voice to the chorus that this guy smells strongly of scamming. I wasn't scammed by him--because I told him he'd need to file vendor paperwork with my institution and get paid by them. At that point he, who'd solicited me and been very eager/overpromising, went completely dark. He was only interested in me quickly transferring personal funds to him; getting paid in the traditional legitimate means of exchanging fee for service seems to not be worth his while, which is of course a major red flag. Anyway glad I checked here because it had already crossed my mind that something was off in the hustle he was handing down.

    At least several of their testimonials are fake. E.g. ***************** book published in 2011 has only FIVE Amazon book reviews, and nothing whatsoever about ****** Prices Limitless You comes up in a ****** search. So I decided not to do business with them.
