I CONTACTED DORRANCE PUBLISHING TO TELL MY HORRIFWORKED IC STORY. I IN HAMPTON VIRGINIA AS A MEDIC. WHILE WORKING THERE MY PARTNER JOE STEVENS, DELAYED AND WITHHELD CARE TO MINORITY PATIENTS CAUSING THEIR DEATHS.

SOME FIRE DEPARTMENTS IN AMERICA ARE LIVING A GREAT AMERICAN LIE. FOR SOME STRANGE REASON AMERICA IS UNDER THE PERCEPTION THAT FIRE FIGHTERS ARE HEROES. I HAVE WORKED IN THIS FIELD FOR THE LAST 15 YEARS AND I KNOW THE TRUTH.

I WANTED TO GET MY STORY OUT TO AMERICA UTILIZING DORRANCE. WHAT I GOT WAS A PIECE OF WORK THAT I, AM, ASHAMED MY NAME IS ASSOCIATED WITH. PLEASE READ THIS COMPLETE SITE AND SEE HOW I GOT RIPPED OFF FROM DORRANCE PUBLISHING. LET MY MISTAKE SAVE YOU FROM WASTING A FORTUNE.

I WAS EXCITED AND PROUD TO SEE MY NAME ON THIS BOOK COVER. THEN I OPENED THE BOOK AND BEGAN READING THE CONTENTS. TO MY NIGHTMARE THE BOOK WAS FILLED WITH SIMPLE SPELLING ERRORS. THERE ARE ERRORS ON EVERY SINGLE PAGE. MY EXCITEMENT SOON WENT TO EMBARRASSMENT AND GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT. THIS BOOK WAS GOING TO BE MY VEHICLE TO SEEKING JUSTICE. NOW IT IS NOTHING BUT A BAD NIGHTMARE. PLEASE READ THIS SITE AND DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I MADE. DO NOT CHOOSE DORRANCE PUBLISHING TO PUBLISH YOUR WORK.

I realize how you must feel. I went through a different publisher, and like all publishers do, they give you a set of proofs. I read through my book several times before submission and several times after as well as having others read through it. Why? I knew that I was going to sign off on those proofs. Sorry, but it really is your own fault. If you would like, I'd suggest canceling your agreement with Dorrance and doing it over, but doing it right.

Dorrance Publishing Co. Inc. has been providing subsidy publishing services to authors for over eighty years. We have served tens of thousands of authors and sold hundreds of thousands of books. We make every effort to produce a high quality product. We offer mechanical editing services which are intended to improve consistency in spelling, grammar, punctuation, and other such mechanics of written communication. We perform no rewriting, reorganization, or suggestions for the improvement of presentation, content, literary expression or style of writing. We provide proofs to our authors at various stages throughout the production process, and require their review and approval every step of the way. The author is presented with a final set of page proofs which represent exactly how the finished book will appear. We do not proceed to print a book until the author has approved this. It is our desire to produce a final product with which the author is satisfied.
