To all potential authors anywhere hoping to have their book published, DO NOT! under any circumstances choose Publish America to do it for you. Everyone knows that no-one gets anything for free these days, so please don't fall for the advert offering to publish your book for free. In truth, anyone with a printer and the gumption could do what they do. I sent my little children's book in to be published, like a fool, and even got a $1-00 cheque to welcome me in. Eventually I was told my book was ready, and were on sale at $11-00 each, even to me. I couldn't buy the 5 that I wanted to hand out to my family, I had to buy ten to enable me to get a free one for myself. Even so, I was over the moon just thinking that after all the years of trying I had finally succeeded, so it was worth the $11-00 each, but then my book came.
I waited for my daughter to call in from her teaching job as she did all the illustrations and I couldn't wait to show her. When I did she was as excited as I was, but then her husband looked at it, and told me how bad the printing was. it grammatically a mess. Comma's and full stops, everything was a botch up. There's a very good reason for this, due to severe pain, I was high on morphine and could barely recognise myself what I was writing. My loving companion helped me to put the pages in the order that P.A. wanted it, and we sent it off. It had never been proof read, never been edited, in fact, I don't think it had ever been looked at.
Before my son-in-law pointed out the errors I had already paid £130-00 to have my book go on Google, Nook, some other site too, as well as P.As. own Ebay site, but knowing what I now know I wrote P.A. telling them not to put my book on these sites and to please refund the money I paid.
