Good morning:
I have received my early Christmas present. PublishAmerica has published my novel titled "Lives Intertwined" in addition to my non-fiction book "MS Won't Get Me Down."
Yes, I am humbly proud and very grateful.
Best to you
Elvira

Congrats!

Congratulations - if, though, this is the route you want to go.

PublishAmerica, however, is not a highly regarded company.

Thanks Paul for your comment. Here is an article I want to share because any mention of this publisher makes me uncomfortable.

Preditors and Editors also publishes warnings about scam publishing houses. Publish America is on that list:

I don't know, Travis Tea* seems to only say nice things about them. I've actually heard that several copies of his novel "Atlanta Nights" has sold and I'm pretty sure each one of those people got exactly what they were looking for.

*Google it. You'll understand

PublishAmerica didn't publish ATLANTA NIGHTS.

My bad. I realized they didn't, that they'd just offered a contract -- but there I go again with my lack of clarity.

*sigh*

Congrats, and despite what I've read about this publisher, I hope that it works out for you!!
