It is not just a story, but my voice.
Do you really think you are the only PA author that felt that way about her book?
Have you ever felt so strong about a cause that you would do your very best reguardless of the trials you will endure to continue?
Yes, the cause is getting PublishAmerica to admit they are a vanity press. I used to think it would be okay if they would change their way of doing business, but after this whole thing with Shemp, I want them to close and the partners to spend a little time at Club Fed. I've been working at this cause for almost a year now, and I will continue to work at it as long as I have to.
I am not willing to let that go.
I hate to tell you this, but you've already let it go. Get your rights back and submit it to another publisher if you're that sure of it, but understand that having your book with PA means it's dead.
I literally had death threats to my family and myself by my own sisters and mother when I published my book.
I'm sorry to hear that, but at least you didn't pull a Shemp.
My contract is for 5 more years and I will honor it to the end all the while promoting my book.
If your contract is for five more years I'm guessing you've gotten your first royalty check. Were you surprised at the number of books that sold? Did the number of books sold on the statement match what you thought you'd sold? How many of your own books did you buy?
I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just telling you the truth. You can promote your book all you want, but if it doesn't get bookstore placement the chances of it making it are slim to none. (And one bookstore in your hometown, though good news for you, is not going to help all that much).
Yes I do feel strong about my book and will do all I can to promote it. Signature and all.
Frankly, I have to say that the font size in your sig line ad is a bit tacky, but I suppose that's up to you.
