Self-Publishing on Amazon certainly doesn’t cost $17,400 - or $2,900 per month for “5-6 months”. I was astounded the other say when my application was accepted (*i discovered that EVERY application is accepted, and they are hoping you feel so special, you’ll ask friends and family for money, take out a second mortgage, sell your sentimental and lesions family jewelry, apply for more credit cards, etc etc - whatever it takes for Angela and her team to get the money. If you truly believe that your have a message to get out into the world, if you truly want to “make a difference”, you already have within you everything it takes to do this. If you were going to consider going into major debt and find a way to get the almost $20,000 it would take to do this, then you are clever and savvy and tenacious enough to figure out a less expensive way. You KNOW something isn’t right about this! Read the other 1-2 star reviews from people who’ve gone into the program. It reminds me of a Scientology-type thing. There’s even a “castle” called The Author Castle, outside of D.C. where she’s based. That’s similar to the Scientology Celebrity Center. Run. Find another way.
