Xlibris is a totally rip off, and I am very sorry that I went with this company. Yes, they have rip me off. I have a wonderful Poetry Book they told me that the book was not selling but many people have called me about the book, and I found out that it is selling. But they did not tell me and continue to collect the royal for themselves.
Anyone filing a Class Action please count me in. Feel free to contact me.

I would also like to be included in this class action. I signed up with them in March 2022 and, after spending nearly $6000 Australian dollars, I smelled a rat and decided to discontinue with them. My email is f_kearnan@yahoo.com
Thank you.
My name is Ricardo Martinez I had three books published with Xlibris. I invested approximately 30,000 US dollars, right before the Covid-19 started in 2020. I demanded my money back from them because of the pandemic every place was shut down. I discuss to them that movie theaters, Barnes & Nobles and other promotional places were closed. They were reluctant to return the money but when I told them that I would take this matter to the Attorney General they started to send 25,000 dollars back but cheated me out of $9,000.00 I think they kept between, Rena Lace, Mr. Hopkins and Josh Prince who I was told used some of it for a cosmetic nose job. I had no choice but to publish my 2nd and 3rd book even though they did not have a manuscript I was forced to produce two stories and I have not received any royalties. I myself wish to be included in the lawsuit against them! Thank you for your time in reading my complaint
What has been the disposition of your case? I, too, have been scammed by this company. Have you gone to the WRITER BEWARE website? They are honest and fantastic advocates for authors and these kind of matters. Do you know if they're still in business? I hope you saved a copy of your contract, because mine was lost in a flood. I hope all is well and that you'll update your readers.
i been scammed too and i made 6.00 in two years with my book please email me superalertdogadventures@gmail.com like to join in as well
There are no expiration dates on your Xlibris contract. Instead of going "legal" which will cost you money, write to Xlibris and TERMINATE your contract. Then move on.
Please I will join the lawsuit also, they have sold my book for 5 years now, all over the world and I can't get any royalties paid.

Lachian, I am not doubting you, but I must tell you I've already been down this road. How are you sure that Xlibris sold your book worldwide? First, Xlibris will not give you an accurate or true accounting of what they sold, if any. Second, I have found that many overseas bookstores (China, Korea, Japan, United Arab Emirates, French, etc.) simply COPY your book cover and description from another site and then offer it for sale. Typically they will scam the buyer, because they don't have any REAL copies - they just want to make it look like they have a big bookstore. I have been "fighting" with about 15 of these scammers to have my husband's books removed from their website...most will comply, but we have gotten pushback from others because they know we're not going after them from across the globe. Anyway, you think you have been scammed, but I assure you there's no way to find that out for sure. I don't know if it's that Xlibris doesn't keep accurate records (because then they'd have to produce them) or whether they don't keep an accounting at all. Either way, my loving suggestion is to move on and reconsider self-publishing. Perhaps you should try to find an agent - that's what we're trying to do now.
Please send me information on how I can also join the lawsuit. Please.

Hi me also my book been with them since 2019 and no royalties one check for 1$ and one 15$ that I couldn't cash ever since then nothing.So they are selling my books and profiting off of me.My name is Katina Morning [protected]
My name is Angela Jenean Alston and Xlibris lied to me 5 years ago and took my book rights and gave me no royalties as if I sold it to them. I paid 1k to have a poor quality book that is still selling worldwide. The title is "Shelly's Homecoming" and I'd like to have it taken down and returned to the rightful owner.
Please add me to the Class Action Lawsuit against Xilibris. I published “Soul Fisher” back in 2011 and only received royalties of $5.00 (in total) the first three years. After that, nothing. They ask for more money to advertise but they didn’t even reach out to everyone they promised to. They are not transparent with all sales (as friends of mine have ordered from their site and nothing showed up on my page when I logged in to see if anything was purchased). My email is wrenmckenzie@hotmail.com.
They are a horrible company! I cancelled the same day, but was still charged. It was very hard to talk to anyone when I wanted to cancel. I left emails, but still no response. They got over $3,000 from me.:-( Geniferwills@gmail.com
Feel free to add me. Author copies are ridiculous and they sell your book at exobiorant prices so they dont sell. I republished and have made more in a week than three years with them. My email is keltoidrui@hotmail.com

My name Cyriacus Akas, please add me to the class action against Xlibris. I published two books )2008 and 2009) via the company but 2k from them. The only that they contacted was in in reference taxes from the books sales. But when I asked how much was the revenue generated from books, no response. My email: cusakas@gmail.com.
