Authorhouse uses aggressive tactics to force users to submit materials so they can claim their "tasks of the agreement have been completed and no refund is allowed." They use aggression so that the customer is unable to submit on their own pace, is unable to cancel or obtain more refund if decided, and to increase fees. They take advantage of customers who are uninformed of publishing, who are elderly, who are stressed, and who are confused.

I purchased my book from Amazon.com for .73 cents. Isn't that something? We all have been "taken" by the publishing industry. It's all a scam, and so many dirty hands are in on stealing our royalties, including Amazon.com; Lighting Source etc. Only in America, the "big-wigs" are allowed to steal and get away with it. So many authors have made complaints; even to the F.B.I and nothing has been done. You go figure... Stay strong and God Bless.

I got a measly check for $5.23 in the mail yesterday from author house, I thought they didn't send the checks out unless they are at least $25.00. I looked in the author center and there are two more royalty statements. for more then that. The check stubs don't even have an explanation as to how they derived at this figure.
You should have bought up a bunch of your books at that price also. Thi summer I plan on setting up a table in different areas and have book signings. We'll see how it goes but it cn't be any worse. Do they think we are stupid. People tell me when they bought the book. Look me up on Facebok Rebecca Loban Russell and you will see how I'm advertising.

I'm beginning to wonder about authour house too. I constantly go to the retail stores and see how my book is doing and how it is priced. I was mortified that Amazon had my paperback listed fo $.3.74. I admit I took advantage or this and to find out if it was for real I orderered 25 books. Why not I can turn around and sell them outright for between $13-$15. Immediately the price went back up to over $13.00 for a paperback.With authorhouse and the retail stores no matter what the book sells for the author only gets $2.00 a book is what I've been told. In addition to my book being in 20, 000 book stores I advertize it on Facebook and talk about it everywhere I go. I know I've sold quite a few books, but in 8 months I've received $30 from author house. It also has used books for sale on almost every book store. I told author house I bought these 25 books so I know Amazon sold them and this was a test to seeif they passes. I was goingto write another book but it is not worth the aggravation. Do what I did buy the book cheap and sell it yourself with book signings. You can make $6-7 profit on a book that way and guess what tax free. There is more then one way to skin a cat.

My book was published Sept, 2009 and since then I've sold, from Hastings book stores alone, 347 copies. I do not know how many I've sold from other book stores due to fact that they refuse to disclose the information, sighting their contract is with the publishing company not myself. However, from the 347 books sold I've recieved payment on only 20 books. Author house claims that they have no record of anymore sales. Recently my book was released on e-books. I found this out, not through author house but from a friend who purchased it through e-books. Again Author house has denied any sales from e-books. Needless to say I'm more than upset and am in the process of finding an attorney to take on my lawsuit. I'd rather go the route of class action suit if possible so if anyone knows of one, I want in! After reading these complaints, I'm even more angered, which I believed impossible just five minutes ago...
