When you hit on a scam, more often than not there are maybe 10 or 20 other ‘sister’ companies underneath so I’m putting together info on each.
This list will grow and be updated on a regular basis. If you have personal experience with any – good or bad – please share your story. Your story could help my readers with the difficult task of figuring out who to trust with their work.
Any house listed will have to have a great deal of reported abuse and any and all research will be available upon request. By clicking on each publishing house you will be directed to a series of sites/reports/author experiences in order for you to draw your own conclusion.
