Any of you authors out there – has anyone ever gone with the Hay House Publishing arm, Balboa Press?
I have been in conversation wit them but don’t know much about them and if it is worth it. Has anyone had experience with them, or has anyone avoided them for any reason? Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

Hi Lorraine. I have no personal knowledge of this company (either good or bad), but a search using Google brings up some interesting results, which you may wish to check out. Just search for the company in question. Best wishes. Kevin

Thanks Kevin. Peoples’ experiences seem to be mixed. I can go with a much cheaper U.K. Company whom ai know a really good author went with, and I am not sure I want this hard sell approach of Bilboa, yet if it worked itcwould becworth it to me. Being 73 Icwon’t gett many bites at the cherry now! And Ivwant to leave something behind.

Don’t know anything about them, but the founder of Hay House is Louise Hay, noted for her work on healing. New Age, transformational inspired.

Can anyone help Lorraine with her query? If so can you please comment on Lorraine’s (original) post rather than on my reblog of it. Many thanks. Kevin

I get their newsletters, they do a lot of good work on healing and trauma, so I think it might be a good option for your book!

Thankyou so much Carol Anne. Yes, my book is about that, and I have talked with thrm, but worried about the cost of them doing it. But it would take all the hard work out for me

Are you considering one of Balboa’s paid publishing packages?

I was River, and I spoke to them today but to be honest I felt a bit wary of them. Very expensive and tgen I found some adverse comments about them. Do you know much about them?

I don’t have any personal experience with them, but I looked at their website and looking over the packages they offer, I think they are way over-priced. You can self-publish for a fraction of what they are charging.

There is a learning curve when it comes to self-publishing, but once you get over it, it’s not all that complicated. I can offer you some assistance if you need it.
