ANOTHER PUBLISH AMERICA NIGHTMARE - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!

Released on = July 18, 2005, 1:40 am

Press Release Author = R.J.Flux

Industry = Education

Press Release Summary = An author is an artist, don't allow your talents to be wasted on this poor excuse for a publisher.

Press Release Body = After writing my first full length novel, I was delighted to hear that PUBLISHAMERICA would take me on as an author and publish my work.

As mentioned in many preceeding press releases on this same subject, I was mortified when I discovered no less that 18 gramatical errors in my novel as well as countless spelling errors AFTER it had been published denoting a horredously high level if incompetency and unprofessionalism. It seems that the slogan "we treat our authors the old fashioned way - we pay them" is true enough but they seem to do very little else. The seem to operate in the most unprofessional way and take absolutely no heed to complaints or comments. In regards to the statement in which they claim that their books will be available in 'bricks and mortar' bookstores is farcical because upon ringing no less than 15 diferent bookstores in the US (from the UK) I was told by every single store that
they would not stock POD (publish on demand) books, especially when they are unable to return them and make very little profit due to the high list price (usually around £12.50 for a paperback!!!). Ulitamtely, I felt shunned by the publisher as it seems that they are far too preoccupied with getting new contracts (SEVEN BLOODY YEARS!!!!)that they take little
or no notice of existing Authors on their books who wish to try and elevate themselves to the heights of author recgognition. PA will browbeat you and keep you down. I have felt on many occasions that I have been snubbed when I have rung them (maybe they dont like brits?). The attitude is one of flipancy and disinterest in any problems you may have.....unless you want to by a skip-full of their titles.

If you are a budding author, don't get disheartened if you are knocked back by the big publishers, just keep trying. I will however, strongly advise any and all from seeking the exceptionally substandard services of a so called old fashioned publisher - PublishAmerica.
