International boundaries

They lie to potential authors and get as much money out of them with the promises of investing in their book. There is no cost to the author just a $3990.00 1st time publicicst fee. Well no publicity ever takes places. They never invest the $27000.00 they say in the contract or even a penney for that matter. I gave them leads to where my book could be placed for it's gender. They never did anything with it. I bought 500 books. I want my money refunded in FULL!

  • Rosalyn,

    I am not sure why you are choosing to make posts of this nature. We have provided every detail of the publishing contract you signed, and in my last phone conversation with you I explained we could still pursue more options for you. We have already run a national TV ad campaign for you reaching over 150,000 viewers, have made multiple contacts to the media on your behalf and provided the list of contacts to you, and have contacted bookstores and scheduled book signings for you, several of which, including at national chain stores like Barnes & Noble and Hastings, that you cancelled and did not attend once we had confirmed they would host you. It takes years, not months, to achieve success in the publishing business, and we see it every day with authors that stay the course and follow our plan. I am sorry you did not achieve the success you desired right away, but as we discussed over the phone, we can always pursue more.

    Sincerely,

    Mark Mingle
    Director of Marketing
    Tate Publishing
