  The reviewer has no interaction with the company in any sort. This includes both phone and email communications. Our records indicate that there have been no outgoing calls from our representatives for this year.

  An email, and phone calls, to let you know that Traditional Book Companies are interested in your book, you have such a great story! But we need money to register your book, $1,500 will do! Then the promotion and ********************* because bookstores don't like to get stuck with books they can't sell, Another $2,000! And we will have sales with our list of thousands of Brick and Mortar Bookstores in two or three weeks you can start to see a return on your investment, which sounded great! Now we are talking about International Book Fairs and we will be promoting your book, they are interested in your kind of story. Next, it's marketing your book in ******** to some Traditional Book Companies, yours is one of three we will be promoting. Then comes the big one, a movie company wants to make a movie out of your book, BUT! you need to present a screenplay and treatment to them to proceed, it's a done deal, guaranteed, "Don't you trust me", all you have to do is spend half of the Screenwriter's fee, $90,000, that's all! Then things changed and gets a little more complicated, phone numbers change, and don't use my company email anymore, just call me at this number, which comes up under another name?? I am personally taking on your book because I believe in your work and I have been dealing directly with the movie company, it's a done deal!Then I countered with another offer that no good company would dismiss, but they came back with another deal and I would only pay $5,000 for the Hollywood Database, what ever that is?, but the offer changed from 2.5 million to $750,000, so I countered with another offer, which I never heard back again. And as ******** said; ****** earth shows a nice house in a development for their address?

  These people are fraudsters. Unfortunately I learnt my ****** without doing enough research about them. They advised me I had to pay a licensing fee in order to have my book be published by a large publishing company because I was self published. They then offered me a 1.3 million dollar movie contract which they stated they needed an additional $5000.00 USD to begin the process. They call from cell numbers and use their fake online presence to lure you into believing them. They have zero credibility and only want to steal from you. They work together the initial man got his wife or whatever she is to call me pretending to be an executive producer for film of ********************* Their names are *********************************************** DO NOT ENGAGE with these people. They will berade you and use your own work to make you feel like you can believe in them. Better Business Bereau YOUR emblem is on their website to create credibility with clients...THE ARE FRAUDSTERS and do not deserve to use your organization to continue to steal and decieve people. ****** LEARNED!!! Stay away they STEAL & LIE ....THEY DESERVE ZERO STARS

  These people will try to approach you via email claiming to be a legit and works for multiple ******** literary agencies and they can help land you a deal with major traditional publishers such as ***** and ********, MacMillan and Penguin Random House. They told me that they had received an endorsement about my book from the Amazon acquisition team and wanted to help me get my book out there. The catch is you have to pay $2000. After doing some research, they arent who they say they are. Authors Innovation LLC claims to be accredited and have a membership with Independent ************************ and ******** ******************** but after speaking with these companies, not only are they not on the membership list, they never even heard of Authors Innovation LLC. I also looked up their address on GPS, they dont even have a legitimate place of business. All that pops up is a neighborhood. Avoid them at all costs.

  The reviewer was contacted by one of our agents named ********************* on June 20, 2023 for Basic Bookstore Campaign however the reviewer claimed that he called ABA and IBPA, the reviewer claimed that those institutions denies that we are their member. When he informed the agent that he will not be working with us because of this reason the agent then stopped calling him and stopped sending emails or any ways of communication because the Agent wouldn't want to argue with the reviewer with the result he got from whoever he called that he claimed to be IBPA and ABA. To be clear Authors Innovation DID NOT COLLECT any MONEY/PAYMENT from the reviewer. The agent followed what the reviewer said to stop communicating with him. The *** personally E-mailed the Reviewer to rectify this Negative Review and also sent proof to the reviewer that we are indeed a member of ABA and IBPA, the membership ID and the receipt sent by those institutions. The Reviewer refused to do a three way call with the *** to IBPA and ABA. The Reviewer then mentioned a name that is not an employee of Authors Innovation, the reviewer said that "********************* sent me this whole memo". Authors Innovation does not have any employee named ************************Authors Innovation tried to call the Author however he responded "No disrespect, but please dont call me." After sending all the proof and tried to rectify his negative comment he responded "Before we can speak more, I need to reach out to these authors that you guys have said to work with. There are several names that I have looked up and will be in contact with them. I dont know if you have an employee named *********************, but she sent me this whole memo and included some authors that went through you guys." The sole purpose of contacting the reviewer is to provide resolution to his negative comment when Authors Innovation did not receive any payment from the reviewer. There was no other interaction after the email proposal sent by the Agent.
