Vanilla Heart Publishers Reviews 6

I hired them to create 3 Wikipedia pages, they created nothing and stole my money. They will not respond to email.

Click-bait scam! Burned 5000 USD!

Vanilla Heart Publishing / Vanilla Heart Publishers - are running a bait and switch scam. Their scam utilizes multiple web sites, email addresses, consultants, third party billing and they seem to work from multiple shared offices. Their primary website is not registered in the USA and holds hallmarks of an internet scam operation. The consultants are polite until they get your money, make lots of promises to refund your money and then ghost you. I had to get a lawyer and my bank involved. Strongly suggest staying away from this company.

I am trying to contact but they are not responding and my book not published yet .

I’m sad to report that Vanilla Heart Publishing is a huge scam and they are taking credit for books it did not publish to lure unsuspecting authors into publishing with them. They change the website everyday. One day it's a marketing company, the next day they have fake books on their website. Please be very careful using this company.

On April 11, 2024, I found an ad by vanillaheartpublishing.com and went to the website hoping to get my book published. The first thing I noticed was a number of book covers on display. They looked nice at first, but among them, was a poster from a popular TV show, “The Lincoln Lawyer” which they were obviously trying to pass off as a book they had published. I clicked the chat box and spoke to someone named Kenneth. While talking to him, I was googling and researching information about the company at the same time. I looked for the books they claimed to publish, and I also went to the WHO IS website. Vanilla Heart Publishing is not located in the United States. WHO IS Lookup shows that the company is located in Reykjavik on Kalkofnsvegur 2 and the website was “created” in 2022.

The company promised to publish books for $299. When I asked which titles had they previously published, since the books listed on its website did not actually exist (after an extensive search for the titles online). Vanilla Heart Publishing sent links to three best-selling, self-published books. I was excited so I looked at the Amazon page for the books and noticed that the books they sent were published by an “Independent Publisher.” This means that the books were published on KDP by the author rather than by Vanilla Heart Publishing. It dawned on me that the company was trying to take credit for popular self-published books that they had no hand in publishing. I also noticed that one of the books was published in 2021, before company’s website was created in 2022. “Kenneth” offered excuses about why the self-published titles predates the creation of their website, but they were superficial reasons. After I ended the chat, I sent an email to the author of one of the books and he confirmed that the company did not publish his book and states that the claim by the company was fraudulent. He wanted to know how to report it. Even though I suspected as much, I was shocked by the company’s dishonesty.

I went back to the website before coming here, and a different set of book covers returned. Vanilla Heart Publishing listed The Violations of a Moral Code book cover without the author’s name. I searched for the title on Amazon, and it turns out The Violations of a Moral Code was written by Camille Pierce M.MSC and was published by Xlibris and not Vanilla Heart Publishing. Vanilla Heart Publishing is taking credit for books it did not publish. Vanilla Heart Publishing also listed Child Lost, Child Found by Patty Renfro, which was published by BookBaby.

Twenty-four hours after I confronted Vanilla Heart Publishing about its dubious claims, the entire website had changed. The fake book covers disappeared from the company’s website and the company now claims that it is a PR company that specializes in branding with barely a trace of the company’s previously advertised publishing services. Only a small link remains. They were busted and they knew it. A search for the company’s published books pointed to only three books that are currently on sale via Amazon. The books are poorly formatted and amateurish to the point that it was baffling. The books were also outdated, with release dates dating back to 2009 and earlier so I am unsure if there is a relationship although it appears to be from the same company. What I found unnerving was how they revamped the entire website in less than 24 hours to hide their guilt. I don’t know if any of the authors who signed up for them will get their book published or if the publication will be published correctly.

I have a significant and favorable image of Vanilla Heart Publishers as a result of the editing and proofreading services that they provide to their clients. They are really professional, and they pay close attention to the smallest of details. The crew has been of tremendous aid to me in improving the standard of the work that I've been doing as a whole. They offer editing and proofreading services of the best quality, which I hold in the highest regard, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
