Page Publishing reviews (2026): what authors praise and complain about

What authors praise

For some authors it works. Reviewers report:

• A named coordinator helped the author through to the end (5★, July 2026, Trustpilot)
• Published 8 thrillers with the same responsive coordinator (4★, March 2023, Trustpilot)

We logged 2 four- and five-star Trustpilot reviews, of the 5 the source showed.

Questions to ask any publisher before you sign

• Who will be the publisher of record, and whose name is the ISBN registered in?
• What exactly is in the marketing, and what is delivered by when? Ask for a list of work, not a promise of results.
• Can you see your sales yourself? Who reports them, who pays you, and how often?
• Who edits your book, at what level, and can you see a sample first? What happens if you disagree with the edit?
• What is the full price in writing before you sign, and is it a one-off fee or does it continue? Have someone you trust read the contract.
• If you stop, what happens to your rights, your ISBN and your files?
• If your book has illustrations, who makes them, and can you see samples in your own style first?

How we handle each of these

We are a competing publisher, so weigh this accordingly. These are the points above where our own pages already say what we do:

• Royalties and sales reporting. You publish on your own Amazon KDP account, so Amazon reports and pays you directly, and you can check every sale yourself. Our packages: 100% royalties and all rights stay with you
• Marketing that did not deliver. We make no sales promises: no marketing service can promise sales or bestseller status. Each package lists the work it includes. Our marketing services, and what each package includes
• Process not explained. Our packages are listed with their prices before you talk to anyone. It is pay-for-service self-publishing, and we say so plainly: you keep 100% of your royalties and all your rights. What it costs to publish a book
• AI and your files. Your manuscript and files are never put into AI tools, and we never use AI to write or rewrite your book. (Two reviewers suspected AI-made illustrations; this commitment is about your manuscript and files, and we make no further claim about illustrations here.) Our FAQ: do you use AI on my manuscript or files?

How this was researched

• We read the reviews of Page Publishing on Trustpilot on 15 October 2026, and logged each review we used: its stars, its date and a theme, with a short paraphrase in our own words.
• A quotation, where we use one, is under 15 words, in quotation marks and linked. We do not edit reviews, write them, or ask for them to be written.
• Sources read so far: Trustpilot. We will add others and update this page, and the date above.
• We describe what reviewers report; we do not claim it is true of every author, and we have not tested the company's service ourselves.

If anything here is out of date, tell us and we'll correct it.
