Green Ivy Books Did not pay royalties or provide information on books sold. Did not respond to phone requests concerning royalties. Oakbrook Terrace Illinois
My experience with Green Ivy Publications has been fraught with frustration for the two-year period of our relationship. My phone calls were often not answered at all or answered some weeks after the call had been initiated. Sometimes the reason given for lack of response was that the person I was calling was no longer employed by Green Ivy.
One person who was helpful was a woman named Darleen who tried to put me in contact with the appropriate person. Occasionally this helped, but frequently it turned into another dead end. The problem seemed to be inexperience or lack of interest or downright laziness on the part of the company.
After many months of periods of hearing and not hearing from the company, my book was published. However, it was published August 24, 2015 and to date I have not received one penny of royalties. When I inquired, I was told that the person in charge of royalties had suffered a heart attack and it would be some time before any royalties would be paid.
In reading a similar story by one of Green Ivy's authors, in occurred to me that the whole thing was a gigantic fraud or a complete degree of ineptness.
I would like to join other authors to begin a class action suit against Green Ivy Publications.
