Publish America Class Action lawsuit-

I have been trying to spread the word that there is a class action lawsuit against PA.  I received an email yesterday from the lawyer where I asked when we will know if the courts approve the class action lawsuit and he said, "It takes up to a year before we will know anything."  This is really disappointing.

For those who don't really know what Publish America is, I will re-iterate what PA is.  If you google PA scams, so many awful stories of people's writing dreams being smashed to pieces will pop up.  Many of these authors poured thousands of dollars into their book trying to promote them and get the people to just read them.

I never gave PA any money and quite frankly I might have although I don't have money to buy my book in bulk so I never did.  Most of the emails PA sent me regarding a bulk buy of my book required a min. purchase of 20 books.  My book on their website is for 30 bucks.  I am so mad at myself for going through PA and it's been years since I've realized this.  You'd think I'd be over it by now but I'm not.

PA promises to promote, edit, sell and give you 8% in royalties from all the sales but this never happens.  I have yet to read a story by a PA author who was paid and that's what PA prides their self on (We treat our authors the old fashioned way- we pay them).  I use to go on their website daily and leave comments on their forum about how unhappy I was but regardless if they read it or not, they never post/publish them.

There are still many, many people falling into their traps and had I googled "Publish America Scam" I would have never signed with them.  This of course is a new rule of thumb I follow.  If I am interested in a company I will google " Blank scam"  and if there are bad reviews I stay away.

Pa needs to be shut down.  I plan to follow this lawsuit until it finishes and if the lawyers need ANYTHING from me, I will be waiting for them to ask.  I am so over greedy corporate America that I just want to move to the mountains and live off the land.  It is not easy to write a book of any kind.  Try it someday and you'll see it takes months/years to finish a book and then another couple months/years to edit the novel/book.

Publish America should be ashamed of themselves for taking advantage of us naive authors.  I hope PA pays for every bad thing they have put upon all of their "Authors".  Now, I take my first book I have ever written as a complete joke.  I don't even mention it to people, instead I skip right to my second book.
