Publish America
Fraud

I too, am one of the tens of thousands of people ripped off of their work of writing a book. It took me a long time to write my book only to have it stolen by Publish America. "We are a traditional publishing firm" was their selling pitch. There is nothing traditional about them. You have to do your own proof reading and even then they won't make the necessary corrections; besides they only give you 48 hours to complete the proof reading. "You won't have to spend one penny out of your own pocket"; another of their famous quotes except if you want your book sold; you HAVE to buy it and resale it yourself. My book started out selling at $29.95 plus $8.95 s&h. It's not worth $4.95. The paper is cheap there are thousands of mistakes and it looks like they printed it in someone's garage. I signed my contract in March thanks to family and friends I sold 15 copies of my book; but according to their records not one of my books has been sold. I sent them copies of the receipts showing the sales and have never received an answer from them. I don't have the money to hire an attorney to fight them so this is my only recourse is to try and save some one the heartache that I have been put through. It seems to me if they aren't making any money off my book they would be willing to nullify my contract and return my book to me. I receive at least five e-mails a week wanting me to purchase so many books for another one of their scams. At least I'm smart enough not to have fallen for this. If I had been told they were a POD (publish on demand) publisher; I would never have signed the contract. And as I have notified them several times; I never even received my $1.00 signing check. If I had the money I would find an attorney to take on a class action suit for all the authors who have been ripped off and sue them out of business. I have been smart enough to save every e-mail they have sent me. At this point I don't want money from them; I just want them to nullify the contract and release my book back to me.
