I have been associated with BWL for several months and have shelled out many $$$$$$. To date nothing has happened. I read some of the 5-Star reviews and I am prone to think that these are AI produced. I sympathize with the 1-Star reviews. I am very disappointed in the outcome of my association with this company. The word SCAM comes to mind, Just BEWARE!!!!

The Salesman was polite that's why its 2 star. But ultimately, he was pushy and evasive. Lacking transparency on the weightier matters of the agreement. He offered me a 30% discount, and the discounted price was far over normal market values. So the offered discount was clearly a scarcity tactic, to mark up the price and then offer a "generous" discount. And his claim that this deal only lasted till today, was a scarcity tactic. I engaged in over 30 emails with this publisher's agent, hoping for a professional, transparent experience. Instead, I encountered repeated urgency tactics (“sign today for sponsorship”), vague assurances, and sidestepping of direct questions. Not-to-mention, flat-out ignoring time boundaries I laid down to contemplate a decision. When I asked twice why an NDA was necessary if I retained full ownership and control of my work, my question was ignored. Instead of a clear answer, I was pushed toward signing a service agreement. That confirmed for me this wasn’t partnership, but sales pressure. In the end, I declined to move forward. My advice to other authors: especially new authors, like myself; ask direct questions and watch carefully for evasive answers. A genuine partner won’t dodge transparency. Taken together, these signals reinforce my original concerns: pressure tactics, and weak technical hygiene. Proceed with extreme caution.
