If a friend hadn’t put me onto AbsoluteWrite, I would never have realised just what PA is all about – a big cheating SCAM to gullible writers like myself. Is there nothing that can be done to stop budding writers from falling into the same trap as me.
My book is also priced at £29.95 in America (around £19 in Britain) and no-one can or will afford that.
No shops in Britain will stock my book because of PA, and PA tell me that I’m not trying hard enough. They sent me a long list of things I needed to do to help myself, and I fell for it.
PA did allow me to go ‘digital,’ but I can’t find it stocked on Amazon because of the same reasons no bookstore will touch it.
PA luckily did change my book cover when I suggested something else (their’s was dreadful).
PA won’t leave me alone either with their constant emails wanting me to buy my own books.
And I still have 5 years to go!!!
The heartbreaking thing is that everyone who I’ve given my book to, friends and relatives, and other people who have bought signed copies straight from me, have loved it, but it has just ground to a halt through no fault of my own.
Now I’m submitting my second book to proper Literary Agents in the UK. I might be getting turned down at the moment due to the downturn in the money markets, but at least when it’s accepted I know it will be on merit.
