A PublishAmerica Nightmare

Eeeeeeeeeek!!!!

If anyone needed a reason not to show work to loved ones, this is it!

That's funny.

is it just me, or should that be finished out into a novel and then published, by PublishAmerica of course, lol.

Yes, it should! I wonder how PA's faithful authors would react if asked to read (and give 5-star reviews to) a book about how awful their beloved publisher is. Someone should try it.

Too funny! The first thought that came to mind after reading your short story, was that it really can happen. So everyone, hide your writing! Lock those mss. away--quick! I'm not too paranoid, right?

Meggy -

Write it up and send it to PA. Her ploys to get rid of the remaining books could take the rest of the chapters. Try leaving it behind in a restaurant and being chased by the waiter returning it, the bomb scare at the airport when she abandond a wrapped bundle of them, ...

When a carryon full of books goes through airport security, they get NERVOUS! It shows no detail, just a solid mass of something.

Kill Book Vol. 1.

Sooooooooo glad that I decided way back not to submit anything to PublishAmerica. What amazes me is that they are getting off with their scam..... And some still think they are legit!

Yes, they are getting away with it. And they are getting away with not paying royalties due. I wonder if they might promote the idea of authors cancelling their contracts. That way PA has a way out of paying any royalties at all. I have received not one cent in royalites from PA and Ingrams says I sold 35 books in 2006, plus I have an Amazon UK ranking which means I sold at least one book there.

Your story sent chills down my spine. The thought of someone else getting one of my works published for me as a 'present' is not something I am exactly fond of, now.

I'm off, to lock up every piece of writing I have...

Add me to the list who think you should turn it into a novel and submit to PA. Do they read anything at all? ROFLMAO!!!!

She's safe.

He couldn't copyright it in her name.
