Sounds as if the DC author did not understand the agreement. I have
published with Authorhouse and they have been very dependable for
me. ALL publishers are in business to make money. If not why would
they still be in business?
At the end of the day you find that many authors on these sites
that complain about their book NOT selling is typically because of
3 reasons:
1. The book is crap.
2. There is not a marketing plan in place.
3. Lack of funding for marketing.
Unless you are able to show you have a market for your book you
will never receive substantial support of any publisher.
Also I hate it when folks say that Authorhouse is not a publisher,
because it is and it is NOT a printer. If you look at the
definition of both terms you would be pressed to define them as a
printer.
I have not read the case notes from the judge....has anyone? I do
know that Kansas has an odd tort law in place about libel. So if
the case was not in Kansas would the outcome be different.
