Don’t do it! Authorhouse is NOT legit. SCAM!
All I can say is, I was an inexperienced, first time, author and they took advantage of me. Basically, I had to buy a fixed quantity of my own books from them, at inflated prices, turn around and sell them all by myself, with even higher prices to get any kind of profit, and then watch them give themselves hefty royalties for my hard work. They get paid upfront because you’ve already purchased your own books (at THEIR price) to sell. But they take your royalties too. I had an eprint and paperback deal. The eprint option evaporated within a year- no reason that I can understand. Next, they took my book completely out of print and started blowing up my phone and email to try to manipulate me into buying more of MY books from them. The only way to get my book now is to buy it used on Amazon or I’d have to buy another “package” from them and sell them myself. It’s a big FRAUD! They call me several times per week. I can’t get them to leave me alone. I’ve told them multiple times I don’t want to do business with them anymore but they won’t listen. I can’t even answer unidentified phone numbers now because it’s probably THEM! I did mark their emails as junk and phishing. They are blocked. I wish there was a guaranteed way to stop the calls. I can block their number each time ,but they have TOO MANY in rotation to catch you off guard. I plan to seek a better publisher for my book so I can get unstuck. I have no idea what the process is to transfer to a new publisher, but I’m about to find out. A couple of Christian authors that I know (personally) only do business with Xulon Press .com. You get 100% of your royalties with them. I’m a Christian author, so I think that I will look into Xulon Press too. You live and you learn. Authorhouse was a HUGE mistake. They are professional scam artists AND bullies!
