They scam me.
Preferred solution: I want them to give me my copywrites to my book and stop selling it online and everywhere else. I want you to pay me for the years you had my book and not giving me royalties. Release my book to me like you promise.

Do not use these "self-publishing" crooks. They do not report all sales and are therefore screwing their authors.

Cut your loss before you get in too deep. I am nearly $60.000 spent on projects to promote sells of my book, but my wife will not allow me to spend another penny.

Purchased agreements recommended by Litfire in excess of$50,000 with no results.
Litfire Publishing called me around 5 months ago. Why the *** would any self publishing company do phone solicitation?
They claimed I contacted them before which I never did. Then they called me recently under the name GoToPublish. Fake names used by a phony company. Only in the United States could a company as dishonest and scammy as Litfire Publishing be legal.
They overcharge for everything too.
Save your money. This is as close to legalized fraud as u can get!!!

- Quality
- Great production and marketing
They scammed me in 2018 and there is no way to know how many books they sell of yours. How many royalties have they paid you? I would be very surprised if you have received any.
Lit fire is a total ripoff
I am a longtime journalist. LitFire will only call to sell you a package or upgrade, but falls miserably on every aspect of publishing.
I cannot say enough bad about this company, for lack of a better term. They published my book after 10 edits with both cover and text, only finally succeeding upon my push and insistence. Nearly all the people who were with them during my publishing are gone. My issues have not been resolved and they out-and-out lie.
They are incompetent on the highest levels. Now, my book is not even on their book store, and people can't order it through Amazon and Barnes and Noble because they say they can't get books. LitFire denies this and claims it is not true. Yet, 6-8 people from different states have tried to order it with same negative results.
They seldom if ever answer their phones, and if they rarely do, they don't return calls. My horror story with them goes on and on. All authors BEWARE! And they will always leave an excuse that it is just disgruntled authors disappointed in sales, whatever.
They assume NO responsibility, and are only in it for the upfront sale, or upgrades. In the last two weeks I have called no less than one dozen times, for times today alone, increasing the number. The only way to ever reach a department would be through Sales, cause that's all they care about. Or billing, secondarily.
They are (lying) sellers, upgraders and not performers.
This company needs to go to the attorney general in Georgia, the publishing industry at large, and all other consumer agencies. And yes, I would join in a class action suit, and give written testimony, as well as a personal appearance--I am that mad!

So sorry to hear of this...and I totally believe it. I have my own horror story with them.
These self-publishing companies just prove, for the overwhelming most part, that authors and consumers have little to no recourse. So-called consumer laws and regulations have little to no bite. Only answer...publish yourself literally.
Hire out any extra needs. Or Amazon seems to be viable alternative
