People Green Ivy Publishing has permanently closed their doors. No contact with them whatsoever. I'm sure the previous reviews won't be singing the same tune.

They scam authors and breach their own contracts. They will never provide you with any sales reports . They have stopped paying royalties all together. Patent attorney Robert gray owns green ivy publishing. His name appears on the books green ivy bothered to copyright so does his law firm the gray law group ltd. The copyright right for King cat's cafe displays his name and firms . They have scammed well over a hundred authors so far and counting. They don't return phone calls or respond to emails.

Green Ivy will publish you for 3000 dollars but then doesn't pay you royalties. They do not respond to phone calls or emails.

submitted my manuscript in July and published in October, and now my book is for sale on B&N, Amazon and more. Thank you so much for helping me every step of the way. I couldn't thank Green Ivy Publishing enough for their hard work and expertise!

I signed a contract on 10/27/16, and paid $2,000 to have a book published. Once payment was received the company refused to accept phone calls, or emails. They have changed their phone number and refuse to provide the agreed services.

Green Ivy has a wonderful team of editors,artists, and many others who have helped get my book on the market in a little over 3 months. I started with only an unedited manuscript and I am so glad they took a chance to work with me. Now I have a published book ready before the holidays and I am so excited!

One of the key elements in hybrid publishing and with Green Ivy in particular, is the ability to work directly with your publisher. They eliminate the need for an agent to negotiate on your behalf, and you have the opportunity to work with production staff on your book. Through the entire process, it really is unique and fun.
Highly recommended.

My name is Steve Wren & I've had a book published through Green Ivy, entitled "The Art of Making Lemonade: Memoirs of a Poor Little Fat Guy." Anyway, they did a nice job on the printing, but that's where it ends! My suggestion to you, is use another publisher! Once your book starts selling, you'll never hear from them again, and you won't ever receive any royalty checks or sales reports either. It's definately a scam & I've reported them to the BBB along with many other people, so consider yourself forewarned…..Maybe you can report this for me, since I've been blocked from their review page? Here's a copy of the last email I sent to Green Ivy: First of all, I hate to admit that 鈥測ou got me,鈥?but the truth of the matter is, you actually did. Oh, I was pretty excited in the beginning, and even more so, the day I held the finished product in my hand. Nevertheless, I鈥檓 extremely disappointed with the way Green Ivy has been trying to sweep me, and my concerns, under the rug ever since that day. So now I鈥檒l have to listen to my family, friends and coworkers, all boast about how 鈥渢hey told me so.鈥?In fact, most of them tried to warn me or even stop me, from giving Green Ivy any money to begin with, but they鈥檙e all laughing now! Everyone said if you have a book that鈥檚 worth publishing, then someone will pay you to publish it, and not the other way around. Then I was told, once they get your money, print the book, and start selling it, you鈥檒l never see a dime, and it鈥檚 expensive to fight this legally. So they just hope you鈥檒l forget about the whole thing, in which case, Green Ivy wins and all your profits go to them. Sadly enough, it looks like these people were right! I mean, come on now, it can鈥檛 possibly take anyone several weeks, just to figure out if they sent a check to somebody, because that鈥檚 simply ridiculous. Then, to make this even worse, your editors ruined chapter鈥檚 (6-11) so I鈥檝e worked real hard to fix their mistakes, and now you won鈥檛 even let Michelle redo this for me. Anyway, don鈥檛 write me off just yet, because I do plan on fighting for what鈥檚 rightfully mine! Now unfortunately, every time someone asks me, how many books I鈥檝e sold, and the do quite often, I guess I鈥檒l have to give them the same stupid answer–鈥滻 don鈥檛 know,鈥?they won't give me a sales report. However, Green Ivy appears to be doing, very well!

I had many reservations about this endeavor with GreenIvy as my publisher. I wondered if they would just throw any old thing together and rush my book to completion so they could move on to the next individual. After all, being a new hybrid publisher they were fairly unknown and it seemed that this would be their priority. They would have and could have done the whole process on their knowledge and expertise alone, but they consulted me with everything, so as to best capture and convey my vision. Their cover art process was very specific as I hoped it would be. Their editing only proceeded forward after my approval was specifically given. To the finiche product I was amazed and look forward to them publishing my next project. I would definately recommend them and their process to any author/writer looking to put their vision/thought/heart on paper. Although, they could do a little more as far as marketing and promoting, but…nobody's perfect. Thanks to everyone at Green Ivy publishing.

If you would like to choose Green Ivy as your publisher, you should be aware that they you will push you bring out your best content. Prepare to face rejection, but even if that happens, you WON'T be abandoned. They work with all of their stable of writers to ensure that their writers submit something that will be a polished piece.

These guys are the best, and are extremely easy to work with. They gave helpful feedback on how to improve my manuscript鈥攆or which they eventually accepted! For my next projects, I am hopeful that I can work with these guys again because they're great at what they do!
