Hunter urged other victims to go online to www. Hopefully, more people will come forward. My comments to Mr. I filed my claim a year and a half ago. The Tates are just terrible people. They dont care about what they did to people. They lived large and spent our money, while lying to us and talking about Jesus. Hopefully, whether or not we ever see a dime, they are washed up and never find their way into a position of power again.
They cannot be trusted with other peoples money. So sad that so much money and so many dreams were squandered as a result of a couple of crooks. Glad it is over. I have yet to hear a word!
I am so dissapointed with the outcome. I believe they should serve jail time. I, too, was excited about the prospect of working with a Christian company. I was crushed when I got my first Royalty check for 35 cents! I do not expect to ever recoup expenses. Live and learn. God will make a way. I do not know for a fact that I am due any royalties beyond that for I never received any quarterly reports. Angela's Desk.
On the copyright page of that book, Tate had added this text about themselves:. First, they used religion to promote themselves over the years, which I find abhorable. We were able to use some creative Photoshopping to fix that problem. The second and most disturbing problem was that the Tate cover had no bleed on it. We lucked out. The rest of the text on the back cover was fine. We were able to fix these errors in Photoshop as well but the quality of that text on the Tate version of the cover was truly awful.
This week, Victoria Strauss reported that Tate failed to respond to a summons they were served in January.
That means Ryan Tate could actually lose personal assets because he signed a personal guaranty agreement with the plaintiff in that suit. Find jobs.

Lively, productive, friendly. Indeed Featured review The most useful review selected by Indeed. A typical day at work consisted of making CD's, communicating with co-workers, being friendly to customers, and making sure the products we sent out were done correctly. I thoroughly enjoyed my co-workers and often thought of them as friends. The hardest part about the job was making sure that every single item in one order was completed to our standards. The most enjoyable part of the job was my co-workers.
Pros Free lunch on Wednesdays and great co-workers. Cons working over time and being on salary. Was this review helpful? Report Share. Worked is on a graveyard shift because it is a US-based company. I love the environment and the people. I learned the science of working smart and not working hard. If there had been something lower, i would have given it.
There are no words to describe how dishonest the company Tate Publishing truly is. They have duped every author that was signed. Jul 06, AM. As a new and extremely raw author, I too was drawn in by "the acceptance letter by Tate Publishing. I had just been through the ringer with AuthorHouse with all the sales pitches for more, more, more, packages to pirchase in order to make my book a success.
I had literally already written 5 books in my series and was extremely frustrated with the amount of cost it would take to "get it oit there. I checked into Xlibris, "Same as AuthorHouse" which by the way are still calling harassing me to publish with them, and came across Tate Publishing.
Well after a long grueling year of back and forth pitiful editing, frustrating comments, and telling me how I was wrong to include "God" in a book with supernatural characters, and me telling them "I thought you read it before you sent me an acceptance letter, do your job and let me deal with the backlash if any, I was highly upset.
They only set up book signings locally, advertised in local papers for these events, all things I could and have done myself. This challenge is just that, a challenge because they will set your book price at a nearly impossible price that no one will want to pay for a book, a small one at that. Don't get me wrong, I do believe my work is worth it, bit in a competitive market as a person who buys books for themself and children adolescent and teen, I wouldn't dare pay such a ridiculous price for something unknown and unrated that is by a new author.
I buy too many books to invest that much for a possible one time read I've heard nothing about. That was book 2 in my series, Authorhouse had book 1. Before I gave up, a friend messaged me on facebook and told me to give CreateSpace a try. There is no upfront investment and he would help me with my covers and formatting. I used them for book 3, then 4, then 5, and thought I then contacted Authorhouse and Tate publishing and dissolved my contracts withem both, redid my covers, changed up a few things in the story rewrite then republished those through Createspace as well.
Haven't looked back and have published 8 books total since. If you'll spend the time marketing, promoting, social networking, which by the way you'll have to do with any publisher, you'll do fine. I hope this helps as I wouldn't want either of those companies to take advantage of anyone else. My family suffered through trying to make my dream come true and neither of them care one bit. Sorry about the earlier post.

They were helpful and accommodating during the interview, not pushy, and they have been quite available to us for advice and counsel. What are you sales and profit margins? Who are your distributors?

Obviously we can make a lot more on direct sales from the author website, but we don't anticipate a high volume that way. At this point we can only guess that we will at least break even on the first copies plus ebooks.
After that, a lot of the one-time initial expenses will disappear and the profits might go up slightly. Unless we have to give them away because we can't sell them.
This is our first experience in this game, and it looks like doing a full-blown self-publishing and marketing effort is quite a gamble. I do know that vanity authors can publish quite cheaply if they use a lot of free services and stick to ebooks exclusively.
I know some "authors" who claim they do the whole thing for free. But we are not amateurs. We are professionals and very particular about our product and our marketing. Thanks for your question Tamala. I don't think I'll get much sleep tonight! Nick wrote: "Who are your distributors? However, I don't think they do things other than printing in-house.
They connected us up with our ebook publisher, but I think he is an independent. I also think he was a good choice. Of course, distribution is not an issue through booksellers like Amazon and it's included in the overall percentage they take. Our plan for distribution of direct sales is to do it ourselves. I'm worrying about that because if the volume gets to be too much it will interfere with the time I can spend marketing. Of course, that would eat into our profit margin.
We have not discussed these extra services in any detail. Our contract is for printing only printing on demand. I hope this helps. Jerry wrote: "Nick wrote: "Who are your distributors? And of course, all this drudge work following the authoring stage means I won't have a lot of time for researching and writing the sequel. Jul 08, AM. I've just joined your group and am so pleased to see such good advice being given out. I have had a very bad experience with a publisher who brought my work out in five books packed with mistakes and destined for school classrooms.
I was heartbroken to be quite honest and, having been a qualified teacher of typewriting amongst other subjects all my life, I thought: "I can do better than this" and I have.
I've published my own Ebooks, with no mistakes, and they sell well from my own websites - well away from publishers. Glad to have another new member with me in this group. One of the problems with editing and editors is that authors aren't willing to pay enough to get a thorough editing done. My wife Michele edits books, but only for those clients who also pay her for cover design, and layout. The reason she won't do editing only is that most authors pay too little for her to do the kind of meticulous job she takes pride in.
Editing is a loser and she makes it up on the charges for design which authors seem to regard as more important than content quality.
