I did. They will own 100% of your book and sell it for way too much. They did a good job, but now it's untouchable. I have to buy my own book, a 50 page booklet of ghost stories for kids, for $16.99! Very small royalties. Do not go through Publish America! I did. They will own 100% of your book and sell it for way too much. They did a good job, but now it’s untouchable.

The catch seems to be the shipping. For a book I set to cost $12 for customers, with shipping ends up being about $20. That's a lot of shipping costs. I'll have to check these others out.

I was thinking of going with Xlibris also, but what else do people have to say about them? I hate to toss away my meager funds and get even less.

Seems they had a hard time correcting their own mistakes. I sent a error proof manuscript. Then the layout contained no paragraphs. Then rumor had it they and Blondell, Author House were getting my royaltes or money etc. and maybe from other sources as well. They say I sold no books, and niow want around $700.00 to do marketing which I already did on my own. I published with Xlibris. Seems they had a hard time correcting their own mistakes.

I have been having some trouble myself about self publishing my book. I am expecting it to be in the ball park area of 200-2050 pages or so...I just want like 100 copies of it with a plane yellow soft cover with the title and my name on it, nothing to fancy. On every website I go to, it ends up costing around $500-$1000+. Is there a website that could offer a better fee but also make it uber easy considering this is my very first novel that can ship to Canada without costing me a fortune. Thanks! Hey there,
