Is BookWhip legitimate? There are elements on their website that look fake.

I assume you mean this site: https://www.bookwhip.com/

It looks like they sell services to self-published authors. I'm not a fan of that business model. If you have that sort of money to throw around, you'd do better shopping around for editors and cover designers who fit your project.

Nothing really pops out as suggesting it's not a real site. The majority of threads here are about places that are real (outside of that one person who was roleplaying at being an agent). But real isn't the same thing as being a good idea.

Be careful with bookwhip. They are one of the publishing scam . They will offer you free publishing and once you fall into their trap they will keep on asking for more money.


These people are really good in what they are doing. They will tell you that they will shoulder part of the marketing cost too but all of it is a scam. My friend spend more than $15,000 with them and get nothing in return.
