Response to Amazon.com Best Seller Program / John Kremer Series of Articles

After we ran last week’s article, we received a record number of letters from readers. You can read some of those HERE.

John Kremer kind of responded to the allegations on Morris Rosenthal’s blog. You can read his response, along with more opinions about his practices HERE. (That post has since been removed.)

He also posted something that appears to be a rebuttal, but not really, HERE. In his post, he appears to be comparing himself and the Amazon Best Seller Programs to American Patriot soldiers and Robin Hood. Um, I’ll let you form your own opinion on his post. We found it offensive…and really weird (see the last sentence of his post).

Reader Tina Koenig informed WritersWeekly that on August 2nd, after I posted complaints about the lack of disclaimers on John Kremer’s site, he sent out an email advertising a publicity summit – and he included a disclaimer under the plug, admitting he was profiting from the referral. It’s about time, John! However, other endorsements on his site mentioned in last week’s article are still missing disclaimers.

About The Author

AngelaPortrait72dpismall_400x400

Angela Hoy is the publisher of WritersWeekly.com, the author of 19 books, and the co-owner of BookLocker.com (one of the original POD publishers that still gets books to market in less than a month), PubPreppers.com (print and ebook design for authors who truly want to self-publish), and Abuzz Press (the publishing co-op that charges no setup fees).

Angela has lived and traveled across the U.S. with her kids in an RV, settled in a river-side home in Bradenton, FL, and lived on a 52 ft Irwin sailboat. Angela now resides on a mountaintop in Northwest Georgia, where she plans to spend the rest of her days bird watching, gardening, hiking, and taking in all of the amazing sunrises.

WritersWeekly.com - the free marketing ezine for writers, which features new paying markets and freelance job listings every Wednesday.

BookLocker.com - According to attorney Mark Levine, author of The Fine Print, BookLocker is: "As close to perfection as you're going to find in the world of ebook and POD publishing. The ebook royalties are the highest I've ever seen, and the print royalties are better than average. BookLocker understands what new authors experience, and have put together a package that is the best in the business. You can't go wrong here. Plus, they're selective and won't publish any manuscript just because it's accompanied by a check. Also, the web site is well trafficked. If you can find a POD or epublisher with as much integrity and dedication to selling authors' books, but with lower POD publishing fees, please let me know."

Abuzz Press offers FAST and FREE book publication, but only accepts a small percentage of submissions, and only works with U.S. authors.

PubPreppers.com - "We Prep, You Publish!" Print and ebook design for authors who truly want to self-publish. Offers formatting and design services only, and then provides simple instructions for authors on where to sign up to have the print and ebook editions printed/listed/sold. Cut out the middle man. Keep 100% of what bookstores pay for your book!

Angela's POD Secrets Revealed Series can be found HERE.

Have a POD Book with another publisher? See if BookLocker can give you a better deal. (BookLocker offers "disgruntled author discounts" to those who want to move from other POD services.)
