Authors not being paid for all sales
Complaint Rating: 100 % with 7 votes
This publishing company is awful. Not only do they sike you out, they send you a finish product and that's it! Where's the money from the sales? I know i've sold plenty of books and I was sitting at # 1 for sometime... where's my money???

Stay away from this place or you'll be searching for a good lawyer like me!

Unfortunately, I used Authorhouse for my first book. We agreed on a royalty of $2.00 per copy. To date, I've received two checks totally $3.85. I've checked out numerous book store web sites and a number of them are advertising my book on sale as used. My quarterly statement from Authorhouse always states zero copies sold. When I sent them an e-mail asking how this can be possible. They informed me that these web sites were lying. They actually do not have any of my books used or otherwize. When serching for a publisher I never saw anything negative concerning this company. But now that I've become one of their victims. I see numerous complaints . Be very careful when looking for a publisher. Authorhouse is owned by a very large investment corporation and they have been buying out other print on demand companies. Dog Ear is just one of them. They are able to successfully counter complaints by out numbering and overpowering them through a blitzkreg type of web site advertising. I've been writing to state and federal agencies about Authorhouse's fraudulant practices. PLEASE! CLIMB ON BOARD. I AM ASKING ANYONE THAT HAS BEEN SCAMMED BY THIS COMPANY TO CONTACT THEIR STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES. CHANCES ARE, WE WILL NEVER GET ANY OF OUR MONEY BACK. BUT TOGETHER WE CAN RECEIVE SOME DEGREE OF JUSTICE AND SATISFACTION WHEN THIS COMPANY IS DRAGGED INTO COURT BY THE IRS AND OTHER CONSUMER PROTECTION ORGANIZATIONS.

totally agree with you. I am trying to touch base with people that has published with them as well. I've been asking these croaks for months to stop advertising my book and they still have it everywhere. It was print on demand and it wasn't meant to hit any book shelves. Now they are selling it everywhere and I don't get nothing for it.

I've had so much stress dealing with this company. When the book was published a representative from authorhouse in London said 'you wouldn't want people to know that you are making money from your book'.
Shame on them and they are making money from selling other peoples hard work.

Did all of you have trouble even getting them to do anything. I sent them the book complete on C.D. Also paper form cover to cover. Still it isn't out.

I agree with David Robinson, I have not received any royalties from my book since 2004 yet it is being sold world wide!

Can we all join together in a class action suit?

Hello:

My royaltie's are being stolen by Author House. Amazon. Com is also involved, along with Ingram's, and the ISBN agency. I have been retained by a class action law firm out of Chicago. Please call this law firm. Kember Edelson. Ask for Michael Aschenbrener. Here is his telephone number. 312-589-6379. Tell Michael that Barbara Lee told you to call. Michael will send you a retainer to join a class action lawsuit against Author House, Amazon. Com, etc. This is a contingency class action lawsuit with no charge to you.

The name of my book is "The Chip Hustler." It has a 5 star rating on Amazon. Com, Alibris, etc. I am on hundreds of websites and not one book sale, except for a paperback sale when my book went live in November, 2008. It was bought by a friend of mine. The rest of the royaltie's are from book vendors. Names of companie's that bought aren't mentioned. I have been paid a total of $70.00 since my book went live in November, 2008. I am mad, mad, mad.

I am working with another author. Her name is Virginia Peterson. She wrote "April Is The Cruellest Month, " by V R Peterson. We are in constant touch by e mail and telephone. She has already signed the retainer with Kember Edelson.

Please call me.
