And my book has been selling! I know people who has bought it!

My book "Tasty & Sensual Under an Apron"
- - No royalties have been received for almost 8 years from Litfire Publishing.
- - Book is on Amazon; please contact chammydeesnit@***.com.
My book with the ISBN-10: 168256**** and ISBN-13: 978-168****278 from May, 05th 2016 at Litfire Publishing which is available in the most common plateform. This one is on Amazon.com available.
Until today, I have seen any payoff of my royalty, not even how many of my book has been sold.
I need someone to get back with me to clarify this as it has been almost 8 years of not getting anything from Litfire Publishing.
Please get back with me under my email: chammydeesnit@***.com
Thank you very much in advance!

User's recommendation: DO NOT USE LITEFIRE AS IT IS A SCAMER! They never pay my rayalty that I have been waiting for 9 years. My book has been sold in all over the places; no payoff, not even how many copies have been sold - NOTHING - the editing work is terrible and I still find mistakes in there. Sophia was the one who I talked to, after they got paid for their services, they never got back with again. SO DO NOT PUBLISH YOUR BOOK THERE! I've made my coming book on self-publishing platforms, have overview about everything. It was the 1st and the last lesson, I've expereinced. Be careful out there, everyone with LITFIRE!

They scam me.
- - The reviewer says the company took their book, sells it online and collects royalties, and is hard to contact with a mismatched address.
I plan to pursue this company and get everything they owe me. They took my book and is selling online everywhere collecting all my royalties.
Please if you are considering this company my advice run, run, run! They have made it impossible to contact them and they have a address that is not where they are located. Sooner or later they will be dealt with , and then they were going to wish they had done the right thing. I pray every day they get what is coming to them.
This disgusting publishing company need to go out of business. D
Preferred solution: I want them to give me my copywrites to my book and stop selling it online and everywhere else. I want you to pay me for the years you had my book and not giving me royalties. Release my book to me like you promise.
User's recommendation: Don't work with them they practice unfair tactics to steal your hardwork.
Royalties concern
- - Litfire and Amelia Publishing are the same company.
- - They took my money and published my book.
- - Four months, no royalties.
- - They ignore inquiries.
First and foremost, Litfire and Amelia Publishing are the same company! They took my money, published my book, which is making them a profit!
It has been 4 months since it has been published and no royalties. I have many friends that have bought my books, even including myself have bought several. They said they were getting all the royalties report together, it has been over a month! I call and no answer!
I have email them so many times and no return email! They have ripped me off, I am so disgusted!
I was ripped off by Tate publishing and now Litfire and Amelia Publishing! email
- Did publish my book
- Crooks in selling marketing schemes
- Pre recorded messages
Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered
User's recommendation: Please be aware of this company
Newmarket, Ontario
Holding royalties, even after 3 years..
- - Books published over 3 years ago have no royalties; Litfire will not communicate.
- - Request quarterly sales from major booksellers to verify royalties.
My books were published over 3 years ago... still no royalties??
Crazy??
And yet, I know quite a few people who have ordered my books!
Litfire will no longer communicate with me.
We should enforce Amazon, Barns and Noble, plus other booksellers to send the authors a quarterly statement of how many books were sold. By doing us a favor, we would know if our publishers ate being honest and sending us our correct royalty checks !!!!
User's recommendation: Run, run away from this company

A big ripoff this Litfire Publishing
- - Last royalty payment was on 02/09/19 for the last 2 quarters of 2018.
- - Calls, emails, and website messages have gone unanswered.
- - This is a scam.
My last royalty payment was on 02/09/19 for the last 2 quarters of 2018. Since, I have no heard on thing from them, even though I know about purchases.
My calls are not returned, my e-mails are not answered. Lately, messages are not going through on their Website.
It is also impossible to verify any sale that are made through Amazon and others. This is a scam!
User's recommendation: Avoid doing business with this compnay
Why I am pissed
- - They say royalties are paid through PayPal, but no payment arrived.
- - I earned a Q4 2019 royalty check and have not received it.
I cannot get my royalty checks. They said they pay through PayPay.
I have an account with them. No money was ever sent to me through Pay Pal. I finally earned a royalty check for 4th qtr.
2019. I still have not received it.

Do not use these "self-publishing" crooks. They do not report all sales and are therefore screwing their authors.
