Another Disgusted PA Author

Hello everyone. I started this blog to spread the word about the deceptive practices of Publish America. I choose to be anonymous here, for at least the moment. In fact, I am very well known in my field and have been offered a television talkshow because of my status. About two years ago, I was an unpublished author and I signed a seven year contract with Publish America. The publisher has just mailed me a ridiculous check for $1.oo and some change. I know my book is selling well and I am completely disgusted. I am going to the news media about this in the morning so you will all find out who I am soon enough.

I have been doing some online research and discovered many unhappy PA authors. If anyone is interested in doing a class-action lawsuit, please leave me a means to contact you. This company has stolen enough money and dreams.

I have 2 books published by P.A.I received$6.87 in March-09 and $44.17 in Sept.-09 for my first book.They thrive on the Authors and their friends and family to buy the books.It is said they are a legit company,but pay no royalties to their Authors who put hard work and time into their own books.If they pay in the millions out to their Authors;where's the money going?IT is a scam and your bound by a contract for 7 years.your basically screwed with your pants up and the BBB doesn't get involved.You reap what you sow in life.

Its a scam but it thrives because authors continue buying copies of their books. If you want to shut them down, stop funding them

For those of you who came back for more with PubishAmerica, I ask why? Did you realize it was a scam the first time around? I don't mean to sound judgemental but I don't know how to ask the question other than just asking it. Were you treated differently for your first books? Did PA come across as being more reputable?
