Publishing.

I made a big mistake looking for a Publishing firm. I came across Authorhouse. I paid altogether nearly three thousand pounds to have my book published. What I did not realise is that although they told me they had two thousand five hundred outlets. The book is after the first copies only printed on demand. since december 2008 I have sold; so Authorhouse tell me twelve books. I paid to be entered in four trade book fairs in the USA, Canada, Germany and the UK at Earls court. I am eighty my lovely wife eighty-two, I have Morbus Parkinson and am not able to travel any more. I am taking this oportunity to warn would be Authors be they Poets or Authors of Novels etcetera do not be caught by the promises of firms such as Authorhouse. If your work is good enough to be published a good publisher will publish at his or her own expense and you will be paid royalties.: P L E A S E   H E E D   M Y W A R N I N G: Bern.
