I tried to phone them after speaking to them last spring and today I find out that their accredited company has been revoked and their phone has been disconnected. I was never notified that they were going out of business as I cannot even find their website. I have two books published with them in 2018 and have only ever gotten one earnings report. Not sure what to do now.Review from Joanne W

Ive fallen prey to Stratton Presss tactics. They publish your book for a decent price. Then, feigning care for your book, they push for you to have it turned into an audio book, displayed at book fairs, translated, marketed among bookstores, and so on. As soon as you yield to their high-pressure tactics and agree to accept one of their offers, they IMMEDIATELY transfer you to the cashier, so you can pay. The audio book, read by someone with a foreign accent, was a dismal failure. I played along with them and sent corrections all through the book, and never received a corrected copy. As for the translations, it was clear that the book had not been translated by a native speaker, or a true translator. When I pointed that out, my contact, *****, seemed surprised that I was fluent in that language. She proceeded to ask whether I could the second language. When I answered in the affirmative, she was silent, and the conversation ended. None of my money was returned, and the company still hasnt come forth with the product. I cant even give them a single star!Review from Michel J

This company has taken over ***** of my money. I talk with a young lady by the name of for over a year before I ever even agreed to doing business with them. This lady was so sweet, but turned out to be a snake, a liar, and a deceiver. I normally know a scammer a mile away. But this one has caught me by surprise. I called to check the timeframe of when my book should be finish. Only to learn none of the previous numbers worked. I sent out threats of legal actions and press charges, then a *************************: Project manager sent me an email saying they had switched telecommunication. And he will see to it that everything runs smoothly moving forward. I ask for a refund he put me in contact with the financial department. I reach them only to find out they still refuse to refund my money. Senior ****** Services Officer was In Charge of editing and printing, but that never happened. Project Manager: his number is no longer active. Supervisor ****** Services Group: Told me******* no longer worked for the company. emailed me to confirm she received my final manuscript on May 2, 2023, I have not heard from them since. STRATTON PRESS IS A FRAUD.Review from kris j

Stratton Press contracted with me for a certain amount of money (which I paid in full) to publish my book in print and Kindle. The process took almost 2 years and my book was never published. They asked on numerous occasions for additional funds over and above the agreed upon contract for other things such as promise for marketing, etc. I got the impression that if I did not give them additional funds my book would not go to press. They were very friendly but manipulative in their communication. They did publish the Kindle edition after I strongly insisted that I will not pay any additional costs. The print version was not accomplished after nearly two years. I sent them communication seeking clarity and letting them know I had no interest in providing them with additional funding for marketing or other items. I finally communicated to them that I wished to terminate our contract and sought a refund. They did not abide by our contract and they have not refunded any of the funds I gave them. Though I checked one star, given the opportunity I would not give them any stars! I do NOT recommend using Stratton Press at all. They are dishonest and seem to only be interested in getting money from a customer. *******************Review from Dom B

I have been going back and forth with Stratton for more than a year. They keep making promises but does not keep them. They will not return calls when messages are left and sometimes tell you they're going to call you back and it never happens. My contract states that I should receive 10 free books once my book is completed; book is completed, and I still have not received my books. I've spoken to ************************* and he promised he will have someone call me---that did not happen. I'm frustrated and want ALL of my money back. I wish there was a 0 star to choose from!Review from Effrige B

Stratton Press Publishing, LLC is a SCAM publishing company and God will throw them out of business NOW. The monies that Stratton Press Publishing Company has stolen from me, over $9K you will loose everything NOW. I paid for thousands of subscribers, marketing to social media platforms,... it is moving into 2 years, today I have received nothing but sweet promises and no call backs. It ends now! This is God's money Stratton Press Publishing, LLC has stolen. Leaders of Stratton Press Publishing, LLC: ***** ******, President/CEO; ********** *****, VP & CFO; and **** ******, Director of NA Operations should and must be held accountable for the scam of this company. I have paid thousands of dollars and your workers are schooled to lie to authors but my God will take back what you stole from Him. I announced in the NAME of Jesus that all the monies you have stolen from all of the authors and others will become BUTTER UNDER THE SUN STARTING TODAY AND WILL BELT AWAY LEAVING ALL OF YOU BARREN and you will never regain a penny IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH. THIS IS NOW ESTABLISHED IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH.
