6. WHICH PUBLISHERS HAVE RECENTLY GONE OUT OF BUSINESS? (And, who might be going to jail?)
BookLocker has been in business for 19 years now and we’re still going strong! Why? Because we are an ethical, family-owned business that treats our authors and book buying customers as we’d want to be treated.
It’s unfortunate that a few skunks in the business give our entire industry a bad name. Read about some of their crooked shenanigans here:
http://writersweekly.com/tag/complaints-about-specific-publishers
7. EARN $40 REFERRING YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO BOOKLOCKER!
We are getting LOTS of referrals from BookLocker authors, as well as from folks offering consulting, editing, illustration, design or any other services to authors! This includes their customers, writing friends, neighbors, family and other colleagues! Some just mention us in passing while others post detailed information on their websites, blogs and social media accounts, which leads to even more referral fees.
Earn $40.00 per referral!
