Featured review
This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I wrote shacking up 40 reasons why not to and it can be found on Dr. Laura Schlessingers "reading corner" she has 10 million listeners a day and I haven't seen a dime in the last three years...oh Im sorry they just sent a check for $1.28. These people need to be prosecuted for stealing royalties from writers...I've asked a few lawyers and they don't want to take it on a contingency basis...this needs to be a class action suit...we need to fight this until all of the writers recieve what they've earned and author house needs to be shut down...

My name is Robin Alexis. I have self-published 2 books with Authorhouse. I have my own radio show called, "Mystic Radio with Robin Alexis" in Seattle WA, Detroit and Boston plus on AOL RADIO and GOOGLE powered by CBS RADIO. My name and books are all over the internet. Last year our show won 2nd price for being the most listened to show on our KKNW Alternative Talk Radio 1150AM station and yet I receive royalty checks for $2.21. I would love to particpate in a class action suit. Sign me up. My number is [protected]. I want all my material, my money, and my legal fees payed for by Authorhouse. I don't want them to have any product or right to sell my product anywhere anymore.

My name is Carl Coggins. I used AuthorHouse as my publisher to do a book called Mr. Bow Bow.This is
an lnspirational book for children to introduce them to the advantages of choosing to live a christain life.
I'm 69 years old. I retired from the textile world. I was involved in the creative end of that business,
doing art, and illustration for 48 years. So to explain, I did all the art, the story, sent it to them in a PDF
file, and all they had to do was simply "burn" the plates and print.
I started this project in Feb. 2009. Lots of work on my end, and received a check for a whooping $2.13.
We owe it to others, and to ourselves, to stop these people from ripping us off.
Why can't we join hands in a class action law suit and give AuthourHouse what they derserve. This has
been mentioned by others, but, lets do it.

May God bless you all, and have a Merry Christmas!

I am interested in a class action lawsuit, if anyone wants to initiate it please call me @[protected]. My name is Tina Louise Ristine and I published a book titled The Capture of Osama binLaden in 2007 with authorhouse. I rec'd royalties in 2007 and 2008 but no royalities in 2009 and 2010 yet. I thought maybe it was because of the recession but no I am not positive cuz I know I sold one book in 2009 to my local library and never rec'd a royality for it yet.

Instead of complaining, why haven't you sued?
