Independence Books: Strongly not recommended. An imprint of PublishAmerica.

7/17/10: In light of the renewed Independence Books subsidiary, one writer suggests, "In regards to PA nothing they do surprises me. However, with Publish America transferring everything over to its so-called subsidiary, Independence Books, as a last ditch effort to protect itself from lawsuits, it might be wise to advise the authors to start filing lawsuits for back royalties. They don't need a lawyer to file a complaint. Also, if they are on a limited income, they might be able to qualify for a fee waiver when filing a complaint in state/federal court."
