Complaint Review: Vantage Press Inc.

I payed Vantage Press 20,000 Dollars to publish my Sci/Fi Novel. In the Contract that I signed with them they said they would arrange book signings as part of the promotion of my book. They also claim that they pay Royalties twice a year. It has now been over a year since my book release date and I have yet to receive a single payment for them.

Also I was told by the Lady in charge of promoting that they do not arrange book signings for authors. This goes directly against their advertisements. As far as I am concerned they are in breech of the contract we signed, and I am out 20,000 bucks with absolutely no return on the investment.

Not only did they produce a sub-standard version of my book, but they haven't attempted to sell the book as they promise in their package deals. I would like to know if there is anything that can be done about this so called Publisher.
