COMPLAINTS about Dog Ear Publishing – WOW…

Read detailed complaints about Dog Ear at the following sites:

The Alliance of Independent Authors has issued a WATCHDOG ADVISORY against Dog Ear Publishing.


31 59 Complaints at the at the Better Business Bureau (updated 10/17/19).

Those contain numerous allegations of late/missing royalty payments, and a variety of excuses by the publisher reported by authors on that site – from blaming the retailers/distributor, to having a computer system that can’t handle their growth, to switching bank accounts and not having new checks yet, to running out of stamps, and even a broken stamp machine.

Dog Ear lost its Better Business Bureau accreditation in March, 2019.


Complaints Board negative reviews from Dog Ear authors are HERE, HERE and HERE.


And, there are several negative reviews about Dog Ear Publishing on YELP.

One author sued Dog Ear and claims they never showed up for the hearing, leading to a default judgement in her favor. She delivered it to their office, and is now asking the court to compel their bank to pay her.


This is yet another example of why all authors must research a firm THOROUGHLY before sending them money.

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.

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.
