Insight Publishing and its president David Wright are not only unethical, they are downright illegal!  They are masters at marketing the idea that you can appear with the likes of Dr. Stephen Covey and other superstars on the cover of books they publish.  I fell for the scam.  I acted with good faith and trust relying upon the company's representations and paid $3,800.

Now, to my shock, I received legal notice from a Utah-based law firm representing Dr. Stephen Covey that "The Innovators Group, d/b/a Insight Publishing Company, has no right to use Dr. Covey's name and likeness.  Insight Publishing was and is without any legal authority to use Dr. Covey's name and likeness."

David Wright and his company knowingly deceived me and continue to lure others to fall for the scam.  Insight Publishing and its president David Wright know full well that they are doing and continue to do it.  BEWARE!!!

POSTED: Monday, September 19, 2011
...Ah the fights continue on and now go on to the....

....Publishing Company

Even though this issue seemingly seems to be addressed-There are other darker issues that are unrevealed and unexposed when it comes it seems to Insight Publishing...

...Such is what is not seen here....

...Scandalous is the Word to describe the whole scenario of events regarding those who speak of "insight" in publishing but no such thing as "insight" into their wicked and deceitful practices!

...However...

...Liars with their Lies who continue to speak eventually can find themselves being

....Silenced...

...By the Very Lying Words...

...That they like to speak so well!

Insight Publishing Company's Response - David Wright

AUTHOR: Insight Publishing - (United States of America)

POSTED: Thursday, September 15, 2011

Insight's position on this matter is simple. First, we have been helping authors, speakers, trainers, consultants and coaches for over 21 years and we have operated our company with honesty and integrity. Stephen Covey, working through his staff, agreed to be interviewed for our anthology book projects, designed to help professional speakers and authors get their positive messages out to people interested in self improvement.

His interview was recorded and published just as we agreed. Just last year, we received notice that Mr. Covey's company decided not to participate in the project. A settlement was reached between Mr. Covey and Insight, in short, that Insight would no longer use our recorded Covey interview in any future publications after a specified date. Within this settlement, no admission of guilt was concluded regarding prior publications such as your book that fell before the specified date.

Obviously we are disturbed that Covey's Attorney is now contacting the individual participants that they, by proxy, deemed "immune" due to the publication date of your book falling prior to the settlement agreement. 

Our attorney is reviewing our options and we stand firm in our position, that Mr. Covey voluntarily agreed to be interviewed in a chapter of your titled book and that Insight owns that recording and had the right to publish that interview at the time of publication.

Thank You,
 
David E. Wright
