In September of 2023 I paid American Author House 3000.00 to self publish my book. So far I am deeper into this nightmare and it's only getting worse. Right now I am working or at least was working with someone named Hazel Brian. She is rude and keeps telling me she needs to keep a chapter for a week so her team of editors can get the chapter's done perfectly. We'll I am sorry to say they must be sleeping through the process. They definitely are not reading the chapter's. Now I am into them for 4000.00 because they said it was 500.00 more for it to come out in hard back.... then there was the 500.00 for the copy right. I do think they should have told me those things upfront.
