5 Reasons To Avoid Publish America

Since I first wrote about the trap I published with PublishAmerica, I have received a lot of correspondence from authors who asked me whether they should also avoid this well-known online POD company. So, in response to a letter published by an unpublished author, I was motivated to write about the five main reasons someone published their script for this online publisher based in Frederick, Maryland.

When someone can go to any search engine like Yahoo or Google and quote the term "PublishAmerica" ​​or "American Publish" [using quotes get more results], many writers lend themselves to doing this. This was a big mistake on their part because they had squandered the manuscript they had been working on for months or spent years, and had made their money to equip with legitimate publishers.

The publisher is a company published online based on an unpublished trio of writers, is a Dutchman born and raised by Willem Meiners who spoke and wrote in English, Larry Clopper, a computer programmer, and Miranda Prather, a poet. Unlike "traditional" mainstream publishers who constantly compare themselves, these executive staff are under fantasy because they change the translating industry. Instead of acknowledging on their patriotic-looking website that they are vanity POD [Print On Demand] publishers with no strict cash that is only for selling author's books back to their own authors, this company pretends to say those who radical change

The author, if you have not agreed to the above to approve the PublishAmerica contract, please expect the following points:
1. Your book will NOT be stored in an independent chain or bookstore because there are no returns, high cover prices and short discounts.

2. The Publish America editor team consists of teenagers and young adults who run spelling / grammar checks on the manuscript, which doesn't mean much if you have used a standard word processing editing program. They also have non-editing options that you can choose which will allow your book to be released in a matter of weeks, not months. Editing for stories, length, characterization, and content doesn't exist in stable PublishAmerica editing.

3. You will receive the author's questionnaire where you are asked to reveal up to 100 names of family members, friends, and colleagues. Mentioned: "Also, please do not include any business or organization, including bookstores, media contacts, or government organizations. Just include friends and colleagues. "Why are they so embarrassed to stay away from the media if their real intention is to SELL books?

4. Twice a year, March and September, marking the season for a very small royalty check. Think of the time and effort you made to write your book. Add the $ 30 copyright fee you pay, the number of books you buy yourself, the amount of money you pay to get a website and / or any type of online and offline promotional efforts, and divide it into the amount you receive - usually less than $ 20 !

5. Look at the number of authors and support writers out there who wrote about what the PublishAmerica scam really is. Not just one or two unsatisfied writers, but hundreds of them. On top of the Absolute Write Forum we have more than 900 pages of Never Ending Publish America threads. Mindsight and Writers Net also have a huge amount of web space dedicated to warning and educating people about the weakness of being a Publish America writer.

And finally, think of the time frame of the seven-year long contract that Publish America offers. In some states, you can commit a fairly bad crime and get less prison time than that! Perhaps a more appropriate slogan is: PublishAmerica, imprisoning the author of one book at a time!
