I saw the ad saying 'sell more books with A.I.' and fell for it. I purchased the only had the service for three days and tried as much as I could, but they were all horrible cheap knockoffs of apps. The 'cinematic' trailers, 'Book mockups', and 'Magic script generator' were all poor quality. You could easily do better for cheaper on fiverr. When I asked for a refund they said no. Stay far away from this one. They even say they have a sell more books or we'll give you $500. How is that true if they won't even refund a paying customer what they owe.
Horrible.

There's no doubt in my mind that in the years since I've joined Fanstory, my writing has grown by leaps and bounds. The people on the site are very giving and helpful to fledgling writers and I've made several friends there. I've also learned how to accept criticism without getting offended and use it for the better of my story. The contests are many and varied. I've also learned to become a better reviewer through my time on Fanstory. The administrator has been extremely helpful and answers every question. The downside to Fanstory is the people who think it's a fast track to publication and try to trash others work instead of giving helpful criticism.
The bottom line is if you're a new writer, the good people on Fanstory can teach you a lot if you're willing to listen.
I know they helped me.
