Under investigation: Author Solutions, and all its subsidiaries, who nestle under the wing of Penguin, are being dissected for evidence of deceptive practices. Author Solutions subsidiaries include AuthorHouse, Inkubook, iUniverse, Trafford, Xlibris, and Wordclay. Remember the deal?

Get your scorecard out again with this previous Top Twos-Day, plus read more from The Independent Publishing Magazine…
As they say in the news, on another note, the scandal broadens for Jonah Lehrer, The New Yorker, and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt as two out of three of Lehrer’s books are pulled from the shelves with good news for those of you who purchased them: full refunds available!

Hi Roxie. Lovely to hear from you. I have never self published or had anything published I’m destined just to write to keep me sane! Thank you for liking my poem ‘ Alleyway’. Take Care. The Foureyed Poet.
The bigger they are, the odder they are, it seems.
Just tweeted this, sister! People need to shout this from the rooftops. It’s so disappointing to see from the Big Six.
oh wow, thanks Erin! you ROCK!!! yes, people need to know where the bar is set
This is very interesting, Roxanne. SO much crazy stuff is going on in the publishing world these days!
very much so, I’m afraid…thanks Becky, keep your chin up, it’s changing
Hmmmmm. My goodness! (She says ever so politely meanwhile thinking a completely different type of thought entirely.)
you’re such a lady, Penny! unkind words would never leave your lips,
Absolutely not, it’s a good thing there aren’t mind readers out there, however!
you and me both, Penny! hehehe!
And the hits just keep coming…
like the Energizer Bunny, Marylin
Spinning wildly off axis…what’s next?
dare we ask, Phil?
Yowza!
great exclamation, Laurie! sums it totally up!
