Author House ,Author House, nearly 2000, big letdown, unprofessional workmanship overload Bloomington Indiana
Author House staff with their convincing sales pitch, convinced me to have my book published by them. Great loss! Great regret! The font size I sent was changed, saying its too large. I was talked out of my voiced and written dissatisfaction, with the illustrations, I complained about the layout; the galley.
I was talked out of all my objections, and was convinced that it was all fine, against my better judgement, and so I signed off the galley, after being told, 'We know what we are doing, we do this everyday, you are becoming anxious and wirrying over nothing.'
I was right, my fears were all founded, I had a right to worry and be anxious; the book is unsaleable, because of bad presentation; Author House messed my book up, big time! and its over priced, despite my strong objections, I was forced to accept their final pricing. I was told because its a colour book and has many pages and illustrations. There are only nine, and they made them large. I was badly advised in every way.
As my 1st book, I was inexperienced, my lack of knowledge in book publishing was used against me and cost me a gret deal of money; writing is my only work, I have no income. My fears, which I voiced, but was convinced otherwise, and signed acceptance through desperation, was founded, my book is unsaleable.
I have since made several complaints, Author House have now offered to do corrections, but at my expence. This I have objected to and have asked them to accept responsibility, because I feel strongly about the fact that they should know better, and knew what they were doing. I have asked for my book to be corretly republished or my money be given back to me.
(I am waiting.)
I have received pleasing reviews about my story, which is the first in the series. I hope that my book will be rebublished and correctly priced, which will hopefully enable it to get a chance on the book shelves in the shops, as its a good story.
