Look what I found! PublishAmerica
Months ago, there was some wank posted here about an author who's from publishamerica.org. I was looking for that wank because it was funny, but I couldn't find it, so I tried Google. When I tried google, I found this:

Hey all my fellow Publish America authors! Its time to speak out and defend our publisher! We need to tell folks why we chose PA, why we stand by them, why we believe in them, and why they belive in us!
Proud PA author,
Sherry A. Mauro


It's old, but there's 13 pages worth of this and quite a few gems. And "mysterywriter" spooging over PA is just hilarious! Gods!



"Publish America is setting a new standard in the publishing industry. They pride themselves on discovering new talent and giving unknown authors a chance to spread their wings and soar. They put their trust and confidence in the big league of unknown authors. Authors are the great creative force that has carried and lifted America's imagination into the new millennium." Mysterywriter (The OP)

"I received my contract from Publish America last week, and, like a dutiful author, I read it through completely. I then handed it to my brother who also read it through, and we agreed on the course of action (a rare event for us); to throw it in the garbage." Pattgavin

"I'm sorry that you decided to throw away this great opportunity. " Mysterywriter (I included this because it made me think of Amway...)

"THEY ARE TO BOOK PUBLISHING WHAT POETRY.COM IS TO POETRY." Malyze

Anyway, this all goes on for months and is actually a very good source of information(especially about how some publishing companies have become better at hiding their scams). But, it's here because there's still quite a bit of wank and a great read overall!
