Using similar names can cause big problems, particularly in the publishing industry where authors are entrusting a company with their manuscript, their money and their creative skills. Although the names are similar, Boundless Book Publishers is a completely different company from Boundless Publishing Group, which says it has no connection, affiliation, partnership or business relationship with Boundless Book Publishers.
It's important to anyone who is doing online research on either of those names.
Boundless Book Publishers Is an Independent Brand
Boundless Book Publishers is publishing under its own independent publishing-services brand. It must not be confused with another organization called Boundless Publishing Group, nor used as an alternative name for the same business.
Boundless Book Publishers offers services to help authors at various points in their publishing process. These include book-writing and ghost writing, editing and proof reading, book publishing, cover design, illustrations, marketing and author websites, and other publishing related assistance.
Most significantly, the company has made it clear that it has no ownership, management, partnership or corporate relationship with Boundless Publishing Group.
That is, experiences, reviews, complaints or allegations against Boundless Publishing Group does not necessarily mean that it is against Boundless Book Publishers when the two names sound alike.
Why is there confusion?
The two names contain the word “Boundless” which is understandable enough that people assume that the two businesses are related. A fast Internet searcher might even think that one is a division, sister company or alternative name for the other.
But it's not that way, says Boundless Book Publishers.
This is especially relevant if readers stumble across negative reviews or accusations about a company with a similar name online. Authors should verify the exact name of the company, the website domain, the contact details and other identifying information before linking to any business.
Do Your Research Before Choosing a Publishing Company
Before signing a contract or payment, authors must always thoroughly investigate a publishing provider. Thoroughly check the exact website you're on, what services are being provided, terms and conditions, and verify who you're speaking with.
When encountering complaints or accusations about Boundless Publishing Group, check to see if it is indeed about this organization. It should not be assumed that it does represent Boundless Book Publishers, which sees itself as a business separate from that entity.
The Bottom Line
Boundless Book Publishers is not Boundless Publishing Group. Similar names don't imply business relationships.
Boundless Book Publishers maintains that it is independent and that it is not affiliated, in any way, with, or connected to, Boundless Publishing Group, nor is it an owner nor connected in any way to its owners nor is it associated with them. When considering publishing services, it is crucial for authors to note this difference and thoroughly check the company that is behind any site, review, complaint or message they come across.
If names are comparable, it's important to see the details. A few minutes' worth of verification can help you find, and, consequently, interact with, the company you wanted.
