Amazon kills CreateSpace, forces authors to KDP Print – and people are UPSET!; Tate Publishing owners – will they EVER go to trial?; TrueLine Publishing employees claims she was drugged at Christmas Party; and more juicy stories!
The reason our prices are so low is simple. At BookLocker.com, we break even on setup fees, and earn our profits on book sales. That way, we and the author have a vested interest in the success of the book. The “other guys” get as much as they can out of authors up-front…
CreateSpace (which is owned by Amazon) was recently criticized for publishing fraudulent books under a real author’s name in what stinks to high heaven of a money laundering scheme. Here’s how it it appears to work…
BookLocker.com, a firm that competes with CreateSpace (and many others), is the parent company of this publication. Many authors who are unhappy with other publishers have submitted their manuscripts to BookLocker for consideration.

CreateSpace has put us in a very bad light with our customers now. This book was a Kickstarter campaign and we are now six months late. The complaints are coming daily.
CreateSpace is a mess. The process to get the proof is no problem. Everything was going swell until I ordered 50 copies on the 9th of January and chose expedited shipping. They shipped it standard, then it took 5 days to print the book, then another 5 days to get it to USPS. Then it was sent off, only to be delayed another 2 days. Now it’s the 20th and I need it for a book signing on the 23rd and there’s no way it’s getting from Pennsylvania to Lafayette, Louisiana in 2 days. Hopefully your service will be done correctly.
