Have you heard of Partridge Singapore?

I would gladly welcome any info about this company called Partridge Singapore. They claim to be a marketing arm of the Penguin Group of Book Publishers. They advertise a Singapore phone and a Malaysian phone but do not appear to have an office in either country. They call you from the Philippines to get you to publish your book through them. They charge quite a fee. Most of all, they will pester you to advertise your book through their connections for another hefty fee.

You pay thousands of ringgit for their services, and they do ebook online for you and give you 5 books printed in the Amethyst package. You write the text and provide the photos, and they just do some editing. If any sales go through, you as author gets 50% of the ebook sales, and only 25% of any printed sales.

They will pester you repeatedly to pay extra fees to advertise your book at bookfairs, at book exhibitions, on Google, on the air, on tv, etc........ Of course you have to pay and pay and pay for them to earn their 75% of any printed sales.

If you have any experience in dealing with them, kindly let me know. It is good to know whether they are genuine or not, at the very least. I won't say anything more, you know what I mean.

Here is their logo:

They are on Facebook, Google and many other websites.
