Worldwide Publisher
Literal Translation Fixed by Cultural Expertise
The revised translation, handled by a localization expert from Mexico, brilliantly adapted idioms and humor to resonate with Latin American audiences. The warmth and wit of my original writing were preserved, leading to stellar sales in Spain and Argentina. The initial translation was overly literal and culturally tone-deaf, risking the book’s relatability. Proactively hiring localization specialists before drafting translations—or asking clients about target regions upfront—would prevent such avoidable missteps.
Overall Feedback:
A rocky start, but their ability to course-correct with cultural expertise saved the project. Highly recommend—just specify your target audience’s cultural nuances early to skip the literal-to-localized drama.- hired for: Books, Media & Publishing

A Rocky Editing Start Redeemed by Collaboration
The final manuscript struck the perfect balance. After I pushed back, they preserved the quirky dialogue and humor that defined my characters while tightening the prose. The result felt authentically "me," and their willingness to collaborate ensured my voice stayed intact. The initial edits were overly aggressive, stripping away key elements of my characters’ personalities. A more nuanced approach upfront—asking about stylistic priorities or tone preferences—would prevent clients from feeling like they need to "rescue" their work post-edit.
Overall Feedback:
While the heavy-handed start was frustrating, their responsiveness and collaborative spirit saved the project. Recommended for authors who are vocal about their vision—just clarify your stylistic non-negotiables early!- hired for: Books, Media & Publishing

Authentic Voice Achieved, Though Priced at a Premium
The writer excelled at capturing my voice authentically, making the memoir feel deeply personal. Communication was seamless, and they delivered the project on schedule, ensuring a stress-free collaboration. The final cost exceeded my initial budget expectations. Offering clearer pricing tiers or detailed estimates upfront would help clients avoid surprises.
Overall Feedback:
I recommend Native Ghostwriter for their skill in crafting authentic narratives and reliable timelines—just be prepared for higher-than-average pricing. Worth the investment if quality and professionalism are priorities.- hired for: Books, Media & Publishing

A $5K Near-Disaster Saved by Stellar Damage Control
Ben Williams’ intervention turned everything around. The new writer (with actual sci-fi expertise) transformed my clichéd draft into a brilliant manuscript, and the surprise free audiobook—narrated by a professional voice actor—now generates 60% of my royalties. Their over-the-top compensation for the initial failure was impressive. The $5K upfront service was shockingly lazy. The first writer butchered my plot into generic tropes, proving they didn’t vet their team for genre expertise. Clients shouldn’t have to rely on “Hail Mary” fixes—proper quality control and writer matching from the start are non-negotiable.
Overall Feedback:
While their recovery effort saved the project, the reckless initial approach makes me cautious. Recommend only if you’re willing to risk a rocky start for potential overcompensation—and always demand a genre-specialist writer upfront.- hired for: Books, Media & Publishing

A Deceptive Start but Last-Minute Redemption with Worldwide Publisher
The final month’s turnaround salvaged the project. After escalating my concerns, the new team revamped my Amazon SEO, organized a targeted virtual book tour, and secured features on niche blogs, driving a 30% sales increase. Their urgent efforts showed genuine capability once accountability was enforced. The initial execution was unethical and unprofessional. Promises of guaranteed sales and Library of Congress inclusion collapsed into fake documentation, generic marketing, and radio silence. Transparency, honesty, and consistent communication are non-negotiable—clients shouldn’t have to threaten legal action to receive basic professionalism.
Overall Feedback:
Proceed with extreme caution. While their scramble to fix the mess eventually delivered results, the bait-and-switch tactics and fake Library of Congress number eroded trust. Document every interaction and promise in writing. Only consider them if you’re prepared to aggressively hold them accountable—their competence exists but seems reserved for damage control.- hired for: Books, Media & Publishing

Worldwide Publisher Transformed My Ukrainian Memoir into a European Bestseller
Their expertise in amplifying culturally rooted stories globally. Worldwide Publisher translated my memoir into Polish and German, strategically targeted niche European markets, and secured impactful media coverage in Central Europe.

Expanding translation efforts to additional languages (e.g., French or Baltic languages) could tap into even more regional audiences while maintaining the book’s cultural resonance.
Overall Feedback:

Worldwide Publisher Made My Debut Thriller an International Bestseller

The sleek cover design and top 100 Amazon Mystery rankings in three countries turned my book into a cross-border success. Offering more tailored regional marketing strategies (e.g., localized promotions or partnerships) could further amplify visibility in non-English markets like Spain or Latin America.
Overall Feedback:

From Billing Mysteries to Champagne Celebrations: Worth the Headaches
The unparalleled exposure: landing my poetry collection in London’s Tate Modern gift shop and being quoted by a Dutch TV host. These career-defining wins turned my work into a global conversation—Future Me is definitely celebrating! Their billing system. Invoices are frustratingly cryptic, requiring decoding skills to understand charges. Clearer breakdowns, simpler language, and proactive communication about fees would eliminate unnecessary stress.
Overall Feedback:
While their invoicing feels like solving a riddle, the results speak for themselves. The prestige and reach they secured for my work far outweighed the administrative confusion. Streamline the billing process, and they’d be flawless!- hired for: Books, Media & Publishing

From Initial Delays to Viral Success
The cover design team delivered stunning, viral-worthy artwork, and the post-launch marketing efforts exceeded expectations. Securing features in top literary newsletters and the TikTok-driven viral buzz led to skyrocketing sales. Their flexibility to extend the promotional push post-release ensured long-term momentum. The promotional rollout was slower than promised initially, which risked losing pre-launch buzz. Streamlining timelines for marketing campaigns and improving communication about potential delays could enhance the experience.
Overall Feedback:
Despite early delays in promotion, the team’s dedication to adapting their strategy post-launch turned potential setbacks into a major success. The exceptional cover design and relentless post-release marketing efforts made this partnership worthwhile. A few tweaks to project timelines would make them unstoppable!- hired for: Books, Media & Publishing
