American Author House

It has taken them almost a year to get the right version of my book uploaded to the publishing sites. I have had at least six project managers, all overseas as far as I can tell. Bad communication and no follow up. Wrong ISBN number issued. I have asked to talk to a supervisor, no response. I am glad I hired an outside editor to start with as their editing was just formatting with a number of mistakes.

American Author House operates at a Three Stooges level of incompetence. The only problem with that statement is that no one at American Author House is smart enough to be Moe. I signed a deal with American Author's House for two novels. Darka's Quest and Severed Ties. American Author House posted two entries of Darka's Quest on Amazon. Despite my many pleadings, the extra listing is still on their website. I later paid $250.00 to change the cover. They made a new cover that met my approval. Unfortunately. They never uploaded it to IngramSpark. That is only the beginning. I had to pay an extra $400.00 to divide Severed Ties into two books. Severed Ties and Severed Ties II. Lenore's Revenge. American Author House posted an extra incorrect listing of Severed Ties II. Lenore's Revenge on Amazon. I had to jump through hoops to get it taken down. They delayed the release of the paperback Severed Ties II. Lenore's Revenge because they misspelled the title. I had to correct that blunder. They then told me that they uploaded Severed Ties to Ingram Sparks. That was a lie. They then uploaded Severed Ties with the cover to Severed Ties II. Lenore's Revenge. Any of these errors of competence and negligence on their own may be excusable. Yet the taken as a whole and that American Author House is incapable of correcting their screw-ups makes them a firm to avoid. They will also attempt to sell you marketing packages that are a consummate ripoff. I purchased a social media package for Darka's Quest for $1,100.00. They made me open the social media sites. They did not open a Facebook page. Their postings were AI-written drivel. I wouldn't trust American Author House to take out the garbage, much less publish a book. Please heed my advice. Avoid American Author House like toxic nuclear and biological waste
