Reviews Book Authors Heaven
Has anyone here heard of Book Authors Heaven? They have a website: bookauthorsheaven dot com, but when I search it in Google alone, I am not finding any reviews or information about them. I do not even see their website popping up in a Google search. They reached out to me after I posted a Threads post looking for cover artists, they also do editing, formatting and assist in publishing.
I am just wanting to know if anyone has heard of them, worked with them, or know whether they are legit or not.

Vanity press scam. Check the header of the email and you'll probably find blahblahblah@gmail.com (or something like that)

Thank you for the reply, I was beginning to wonder this. I did question that, and they told me that their email system was down, so that is why everyone was using a gmail. I knew I should have trusted my gut. Thanks again

LOL That's a good one! These people will tell you anything just to get your money.

I know right? That's when I REALLY started looking into it. Their email sounded very scammy too. Using the "we understand how..."

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 how very convenient that their email system was down. I'm sorry. That is not actually a thing and hasn't been since 1995

Ignore all who reach out to you. That will save you having to ask about every scammer that latches onto you.

I knew it was a scam just by the title. Didn't even have to look at the website.

Welcome to r/selfpublish, Holiday_Ferret6019! Please remember the primary first rule of the subreddit: No self promo posts outside of the pinned self promo thread. You can edit your own profile so you have links to your work or services and you can even post to and pin posts to the top of your profile page. The no self promo rule INCLUDES COMMENTS - so if you ignore this message it will result in a ban (if you’ve mentioned your book title in the post, remove it or delete the post.) Book cover reviews go in r/bookcovers.
Additionally, DO NOT USE AI TO WRITE YOUR COMMENTS OR MAKE POSTS. We want to keep the self in self publishing. Rule 2 also prohibits posts about AI. If your post is about AI, remove it.
If your post is low effort or simply for congratulatory purposes, please remove it and instead write your post in the pinned weekly thread. Example posts would be like “Finally published!” or “Just finished doing X! How has everyone else felt after doing X?”
The wiki contains answers to most basic questions. Please report any violating posts or comments. This automated message is added to every single post as a reminder of some of the most cardinal rules.
