New Headline for Author Solutions

The last time Author Solutions made huge headlines was last year when the company was being acquired by the Penguin Group in a deal worthy of dot com boom excitement. This time around, it might not be as much fun.

NYC-based law firm, Giskan Solotaroff Anderson & Stewart, have posted the following notice to their web site:

Giskan Solotaroff Anderson & Stewart LLP is currently investigating the practices of Author Solutions and all of its brands (AuthorHouse, iUniverse, Trafford, Xlibris, Inkubook, and Wordclay). Authors using Author Solutions have complained of deceptive practices, including enticing authors to purchase promotional services that are not provided or are worthless, failing to pay royalties, and spamming authors and publishing blogs/sites with promotional material.

Obviously, there is more to this story. We hope to have that for you soon.
