SCAM Potential New Authors Beware
Mila RechciglVigilantly and absolutely avoid the publishing company AuthorHouse! Even though I have had recurrent problems with this company, I have stayed with them for years, primarily because I am old and didn't want to waste time learning another publishing system. But my patience has its limits. Their major problem has been a lack of inhouse intellectual capability. Because of that, they have to depend on outside contractors for every little task. Consequently, you had to deal with a plethora of individuals to the point that the right hand did not know what the left hand was doing. This was the reason why they messed up several of my books. The company has no quality control, and, because of it, the quality of a publication suffers. They did not even bother reading the books. The individuals you deal with are over bureaucratic, not willing to help and even if they could, they lack the intellectual capacity to do so. As for their marketers, who pester you constantly, they don't know how to promote your books. They are only capable of selling their worthless marketing packages. Frankly, they are not even capable of preparing a press release. Making money is the main goal rather than the quality of publication. That was my experience. Nevertheless, still, I stuck with them. After they were sued for defamation and were obliged to pay several hundred thousands of dollars, they have become obsessed with copyright restrictions, to the point of absurdity.
