PublishAmerica Send Your Book To Santa Claus!





Dear Author,

With the holiday season upon us you know what that means. The legendary Santa Claus is making his list and is checking it twice! Everybody knows that Jolly Saint Nick is one of the biggest book readers in the world today. In the image of our very own Co-founder Willem Meiners Santa Claus became rich and famous by purchasing and piloting his own aircraft to spread happiness and joy and to inspire those around the globe. Santa and his elves are responsible for carefully choosing the books that he delivers every year to every home the world. Santa Claus has an extensive contact list from talk show queen Oprah Winfrey, to pop music superstars Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber and Harry Potter A-listers Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe, and Rupert Grint. Last time we dropped J.K Rowlings name and found out she didn't like it much so here's hoping the actors don't mind us dropping their names in our ads.


We're not waiting for Santa to ask for your books because that would never happen. PublishAmerica will urge Santa Claus to include your book when he loads up his sleigh this year. Our delegation will meet with him at his workshop at the North Pole next week and we will show him your books and ask him what he thinks.

Here's how we do it:


If you want to have books on hand, order now, and we will donate as many copies as you tell us to.
And you receive a 10 pct discount! Minimum order is 100 books. Hardcovers are included!

Go to www.publishamerica.net, find your book, click on it, then add to cart, indicate quantity, and use this coupon: Santa4real .
In the Ordering Instructions field, just write: "Media Yes". Our PR department will automatically contact you for names and addresses of your local news media. Everybody will know that you the PublishAmerica author still believes in Santa Claus and better still believe that Santa will deliver your books on Christmas morning. Mention your book title(s).
You must choose a shipping option to activate the service.
Thank you,

--PublishAmerica Bookstore

PublishAmerica's Latest And Greatest Gate Crash

Maryland publisher, PublishAmerica is no stranger to soliciting sales from their authors on the backs of celebrities, authors and well known publishing houses, like Random House.

This time, PublishAmerica has managed to step on the really big literary toes of J. K Rowling. As a matter of fact, this is just more controversy in connection with the Edinburgh International Book Festival, in which PublishAmerica had also solicited book sales promising its authors exposure. The organizers of the festival however have stated that PublishAmerica had been deceptive in it's claims.

“We have no relationship with @publishamerica. We have asked them to cease and desist making promises involving us.”

What was said on PublishAmerica's website that angered J.K Rowling and set off a firestorm of bad press?

“We will ask the world’s very bestselling author to look at all of your books next week. We will bring your book to the attention of Harry Potter’s author next week while our delegation is in her hometown, and ask her to read it and to tell us and you what she thinks. Tell her what you think: in the Ordering Instructions box write your own note for JK Rowling, max. 50-100 words. We will include your note in our presentation for her!”

Delegation? Not only did they promise that for 49.00, not only will Rowling look at your book but would also offer some sort of review.

J.K Rowling and the lawsuit that her manager eluded to would no doubt be the end of this publisher. PublishAmerica who is well known for filing frivolous SLAPP lawsuits on their critics will certainly be wearing out their keyboards typing up C and D Letters to international media who have reported on this story and labeled their business practices as deceptive.
