Some firms claim to “pay half” of the author’s publishing fees…but are they really doing that? Three thousand dollars is MORE than enough to pay to publish a book. So, this firm’s claim that they would also be paying an additional $3,000 out of their pocket was a bunch of you-know-what.
Anthology publisher ripping you off? Rescind the rights to your story AND then invoice them for copyright infringement!
I was called by a “publicist” about republishing my book that they saw on Amazon. (It’s not supposed to be there because my lawyer was supposed to give them a cease and desist order since it was from Tate Publishing…)”
These emails were exchanged after the author told the publisher there would be a delay in her signing up…
These scammers use my Amazon ads and illustrations claiming all sorts of things, like having 15 books of varying quality on hand, and raising the cover price from $13 to $45. However, my publisher and I have never sold books to these people…
Theft, owner narcissism, employee and author abuse, blatant stupidity, and so much more! Here are textbook examples of why publishing companies fail.

Don’t fall for the false praise and promises.
It’s NOT too late to file your claim! But, you need to hurry!!
It feels like we’ve been watching an episode of American Publishing’s Most Wanted. Not many news stories have had me fired up as much as this one!
