Attorney Susie Hoeller’s BookSurge Experience

In August 2007, I wrote my first book, RECALL, Food and Toy Safety: An American Crisis. I was very anxious to get the book on the market before the Christmas/Holiday shopping season because my book advised consumers how to avoid purchasing tainted foods and dangerous toys. I selected BookSurge, a subsidiary of Amazon, because I thought they would provide my book with wide distribution. After all, this is what they claimed on their website. I knew that as an unknown, first time author, I would have to work hard to market and promote my book and I did not expect BookSurge to do this. My only expectations of BookSurge were that they would publish the book; list it on their website; list it on Amazon
