Yes I asked for current information, not repeated stuff or old stuff. Current, like the past year or so. I did research I contacted old and new authors, the old said it was awful but the current ones say that they have been treated very well. They were able to move on to other companies because they werent Newbies anymore. Im sorry Ben if you feel that way. This is not a flame board but a place to get opinions and help so please dont flame me for asking a simple question and hoping for help.

And on a side note, I am under my own contract, not theirs.

They wouldnt look at my work, gave me the run around or just told me to sign over all rights.
I am interested in what others have to say here. I have had a few bad experiences with larger companies. They wouldnt look at my work, gave me the run around or just told me to sign over all rights. This was 10 years ago, one of those was Penguin Books which has a GOOD rep from what you say. I have tried to find some "good publishers" from this site and I dont see much other than Dont go here Dont do this one, this is bad. So please if you feel so sure you can help then do so, send me a PM of where I can find this "helpful" info or even a few publishers that will take the time to ACTUALLY help me.

Considering the boom in new, smaller publishers popping up seemingly overnight, yeah, there's bound to be more warnings against signing up with one. Many people in BR&BC have had experience in the publishing business in one way or another; some are authors, some are editors, some are publishers themselves. We're honestly not here to cut/put down/slam a publisher to make us feel better about ourselves. We are trying to help you, our fellow writer, learn more about the business, how it works, and what you to look for when you're shopping around your manuscript.I am interested in what others have to say here.

My experience with them was not very positive.FYI
I just received an email from William J. Connor Jr. of A-Argus Publishing asking me for the status of my MS. He states there was some change in management and he was sorry for the delay in getting back to me. I found this odd considering I don't remember ever putting out an inquiry to him and my MS has been picked up and published by another publisher. Anyone have any idea of what is going on with this one?
Hello Friends,
About a year ago my novel was published by A-Argus Better Books publishers. It is not subsidiary publisher. It is my first published novel and I am learning about the world. I was told that an author is the one who does book promotion. I don’t mind. However, who provides professional previews? They are vital. My numerous e-mails were not answered. What should I do?
