In Ontario, 2005... paid over $3, 000 to have book published with a promise of marketing the book. I received some books and then paid for more. I wrote and phoned re: royalties as I saw the book advertised but
never received any royalties as promised from
Trafford. They had a bank account for us ...once
in Ontario some money was deposited 4 years ago,
my book is advertised all over but no royalties
have come in. A year ago they said I had been
paid...no money in the account and no cheque
from them. Then I heard they had shut down
due to scams and complaints.
WHAT CAN I DO? Thank you!

i just paid my first installment to trafford on Oct. 26, 2010 have not submitted manuscript yet and now after reading these complaints i want to get my 363.oo back and seek out another publisher
In California, February 2011... I paid over $8, 000 to have my book Poetry To God Volume 1 published with a promise of marketing the book. I received some books and then paid for more. I wrote and phoned re: royalties as I saw the book advertised over the following year but I never received any royalties as promised from Trafford. They have my book advertised all over and it is selling and also getting ratings but no royalties have come in. When I keep calling them about the matter, they say I had been
paid...but I have never received a check from them at all and I feel that I'm being ripped off from them.
That seems to be the way Trafford operates. I paid them to have a book published and you could see it in several different countries. I received two cheques for $2.50 each and one for $4.00. I paid them a total of approximately $10, 000 in total for publishing and advertising. The staff seemed to be constantly changing and I felt they had to be good liars to keep their jobs. They certainly know how to beat a person down and kill their dreams.

Yeah its like you spent 8 years writing a book and all your money to publish and they get the money
I'm still waiting for a check more than the only for 10$ I only received since 2010. My book is all over the world on numerous bookshops and shared hundreds of times. I know at least 10 people whom purchased it, and 10$ is not cutting it. What can we do about this? Is it possible I didn't sell even one in the past 3 years?
