The Shocking Truth About These So-Called Publishers Every Author Must Know Before Signing!
WritersWeekly has very good standing with Google. So, when people search for any of the companies on this list, WritersWeekly will pop up near the top.
Weigh in on the comments box below if you’ve had experiences with any of these companies, or if you see the patterns that we do!
Needless to say, we strongly recommend not doing ANY business with ANY company that:
- Uses the name Amazon, KDP, or derivatives thereof (trademark infringement).
- Has a website that is less than 10 years old. Notice most of the sites below were just created in the past year! And, some of these firms just keep creating new websites (that look similar to each other). Only work with an established publisher that is REALLY located IN the United States! We are finding multiple so-called publishers that are using virtual addresses. They are actually located overseas. Your chances of recovering anything if things go wrong are nil if they aren’t in the U.S.
- Has multiple websites under different names.
- Has something in their name to try to trick you into thinking they are in the U.S., like the words U.S., America, or American, or the name of any U.S. state.
- Their website, ads, posts, and even “chats” on their website may (or may not) have syntax errors. Some of them even have errors in their own company names, which is kinda funny!
- MANY OF THEM HAVE FEATHERS IN THEIR LOGOS! IF YOU SEE A FEATHER, RUN!!!
- Raises any red flags listed below.
