For those who can't access PW, the article starts thus:
"A group of about 30 writers published by Genesis Press, a publisher of African-American romances, have banded together to publicize their complaints that the house has a history of unprofessional dealings dating back to the 1990s. The charges include failure to issue royalty statements, delayed and missing payments and inaccurate tax forms."
According to the article, Genesis acknowledges problems, but blames them on its former distributor (it's now distributed by Kensington) and on a shutdown nine months ago. It disputes some complaints, but claims to have addressed concerns and to have answered questions. The authors say otherwise.
Writer Beware has gotten complaints about Genesis that echo what the authors say.
