Publishizer Reviews & Product Details

It's not very often that an email can hit the bullseye to a lifelong goal you've been putting off, but that exactly what the team at Publishizer managed to do. My inner skeptic wanted to dismiss the offer to pitch a book idea as some combination of false praise and low brow business tactics, I couldn't have been more wrong.

Lee and Ben both guided me from my pitch, to my campaign, and eventually to a book deal. Part of me had believed a reality that writing a book "someday" would be an acceptable approach. Fortunately, Lee and Ben lit the fuse, extracted me from my comfortable company line of "someday" and turned it into "right away." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is tricky because I asked a lot of questions through the process and always had consistent help and dialogue. Maybe if there was more content to outline the journey, but no complaints whatsoever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Publishizer team was incredibly supportive and helpful through the process of taking my book from manuscript to published novel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I sincerely have no complaints. Whenever I had any questions or needed additional help during any part of the process, the Publishizer team was readily available, always personable and eager to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great partnership! Publishizer helped me understand a different way to market my book and partner with organizations to connect my book to my speaking and coaching experience. I was able to bring a different type of value to the book purchasing experience. Additionally, Publishizer opened the door to multiple publishers and I eventually received a publishing deal.

Nothing. Publishizer took me step be step through the process and was attentive to my questions. They helped ensure it was a great learning experience. They really worked to partner and didn't leave me wondering about any step in the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Publishizer allows you to find readers, service providers, and most importantly publishers for your book.

The platform is flexible enough to handle both your book proposal as well as collect payments for pre-orders on your behalf.

The value in the platform, however, is that there is a built in audience of publishers looking for authors just as investors scan Kickstarter looking for ideas to invest in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Publishizer is the best platform that exists if you want to promote your book before writing or publishing it, posting it to Publishizer does not guarantee success. You still need to work hard to promote your book outside of Publishizer for best results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was at square zero with becoming an author and not only did Publishizer allow me to skip several steps and start having conversations with real publishers, but it also gave me the shot in the butt that I needed to actually get writing and get this done. I can't tell you how many calls they've done with me, how much coaching they've given me and how much of their expertise in this brand new (for me) cutthroat industry that they've shared with me over the months. It's truly priceless for anyone who wants to truly make a career out of authoring books. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the publishers I spoke to are just self-publishing agencies, and not very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the idea of raising money to validate my book idea. It gave me the insight I need to take the leap in dedicating so much time to a large project like this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside to using Publizhizer is that people aren't used to the idea of crowdfunding for a book but that's okay. Hopefully as they grow that will change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The team at Publishizer helped me get my book off the ground and bring my community together to support it. The feedback from potential publishers was helpful as I developed my book. The team also went the extra mile to introduce me to publishers and make sure I found a deal that I felt happy with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the end, as an author, you still need to build your own platform. I think some people expect Publishizer to help them increase their pre-orders, but this is really on the author. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Frustrated with trying to get my novel, Anna Incognito, published through my literary agent through traditional means, I turned to Publishizer. I was able to showcase my project with my own vision, pre-sell over 250 copies, and the book was pitched to multiple indie publishers. I had offers from about 10, so I got to choose who I wanted to publish the book. I had much more input on the process, and garnered 80 percent of royalties rather than the standard publishing house norm, which is about 10 percent. The experience was great, and it has launched me into a whole new world: I won several contests and now am adapting the book to be a movie with the help of one of the contest sponsors.

I was lucky to have published five books previous, both through traditional means and through self-publishing. I had a small following, so pre-selling books wasn't as tough for me as it would be for some writers. I also think that some of the Indie publishers, at least at the time I was doing it, were definitely in it just to make money from the author, so I think those publishers should be eliminated...the idea should not be to be a pipeline from author to publishing 'business' looking to make an author pay for everything.

Publishizer is still in the start-up phase and they are operationalizing a lot of their processes and continuously growing their staff.
