They took my money and my book never got published and I just found out today that they have closed down when I tired to call them. How do I get my money back from them?

It took a very long time to get my book published and when it finally did and put up for sale they close the doors. I haven't even got paid from what was bought online. I am upset with this company.

I published a book through Tate Publishing. It hit the market on 4/45/15. I paid $3990.00 to have my book edited, printed, marketed and advertised, per their contract. I received no marketing or advertising. I got a web page that no one can access, a Facebook page that even I can't control, delayed shipments on books, poor printing, no accounting for sales, and when I did get a quarterly report showing ONE sale, I never got a royalty check for that sale. My complaints about not receiving a royalty check were blown off. Commu... read more

In light of what's being transpired with Tate Publishing, I felt it was necessary to share my experience with them and to state that I was promised a service and was never granted my product. The agreement was to record songs, in which I did, and for them to publish and help with distribution. Not only was the final mixes not great quality but I never received any CDs nor at least one for myself. I was going to count it as a lost and let it be a lesson learned but it's unfair out how they take advantage of people. I invested... read more

Very disappointed to hear all of this. Tate Published my first book and we were in negotiations on a second book. Acquisitions Editor personnel kept changing, no royalty statements or checks since 2014 and no correspondence despite numerous emails and messages left.

Tate Publishing will make a million promises, take your money and continue to press you for more money to market your own book and control the "free" website with an iron grip. They dropped lines on my book. Editing is a joke and condensed my book so it looks like a children's book. They took *** ****** from me and I have never seen a dime. My book released in 2016. The only good thing about the book is the artwork on the cover. Do not work with these scam artists. If you have a complaint they could care less. They got your ... read more

At the time I chose Tate Publishing as my publisher, they had a BBB rating of B. There were a lot of complaints on the internet about Tate Publishing, and everything people were complaining about happened to me. They had an editor whom I had to re-edit myself. It seems English was their third language. They had several marketing reps for me who would not respond to my emails or calls. They constantly tried to sell me my own books for future book store sales that never happened. The only place they booked me into was a very s... read more

I Lenell **** , started with this company back in November 8th, 2015. I paided them 1995.00 and as of todate I have not received any services from them. I signed a recording contract with them and now I cannot get a response from them concerning my recording process ....all phone lines are down. No one responds to your emails. Just total frustration and no communication on there part. They place a notice online in January about a company transition and that's it . You cannot get any answers from this company. No one to talk ... read more
