I have had a book contract with Publish america since 2008. They did nothing to honor it. no pay or anything and now they have closed their doors. That is great.
I sent my 5th manuscript via e mail to America Star books.I have 4 published Books with them and also known as Publish America over the last 8 years.I only saw less then $6.00 on the first 2 books and the last 2 Books I received no royalities.I am on a fixed income and over the years they always wanted money to promote my Books.They are available on Amazon.com and a few other sites.My fifth book that I submitted on December 2015.( I saw the Light).It takes 6-12 months to publish a book they told me. Over a year went by and I heard nothing from them.I finally emailed them and they emailed back saying ;they are no longer a publishing company ,but are now a promoting company.I have the choice to buy back my rights or it will go a third party.This is deceitful after having my manuscript for over a year.I saw they still did publish other Authors in 2016.They have scammed so many people all over the Country.Law suits have been filed against them.All I wanted was my book published! Can you help or any advice? I am disabled and just like writting !
THESE PEOPLE ARE UP TO NO GOOD'' THEY HAVE STOLEN MY WORK AND TRYING. TO MAKE PROFIT ON SOMETHING THAT'S NOT EVEN FINSHED. THE BOOK NEEDED TO BE FIXED BECAUSE OF THE GRAMMAR.

AMERICA STAR BOOKS AKA PUBLISHING AMERICA THESE PEOPLE ARE CROOKS AND THEY WILL STEAL YOUR WORK
I AM A LIVING PROOF IT'S BEEN 10 YEARS AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY ROALTIES FOR THIS SO I REALLY NEED HELP ON THIS MATTER IF ANYONE KNOWS A PUBLISHING LAWYENR PLEASE CONTACT ME AT [email protected]
They send me a congradulations email back in september stating my books were chosen from the new york book fair for the inflight ebooks to be viewed at airplanes and airports. airlines like american, japan airlines etc. then nothing afterwards only the same message everytime i call , you will be informed when we have an update. everyone even fellow writers have said that they are ripping you off.
My contract with Publish America ended in January of 2014. I had email confirmation that my contract was terminated, the rights to my book were reverted back to me, and that the title would no longer be offered for sale in the company's webstore (I have all communications confirming this saved on file.) Fast forward two years, after I have re-released the title... and I find that the first edition is now for sale in America Star Books' webstore, despite never having signed a contract with the company under that name and having confirmation that my contract with PA had ended. This is copyright infringement, plain and simple. They do not have the rights to print or sell my work, yet there they are, doing exactly that. I have sent them a cease and desist notice with threats of taking legal action if they don't remove my title immediately, but the fact that they had the gall to do this is infuriating. This scam company needs to be stopped, once and for all.
