Publishers who scam...

As I am researching who to send my query to, I came across a list of publishers to steer clear of... so I thought I would share what I found on Writer Beware:

Writer Beware gives two big "thumbs down" to:
  • AEG Publishing Group (a.k.a. American Enterprises Group Inc.) (Boca Raton, FL--imprints include Strategic Book Publishing and Eloquent Books)
  • American Book Publishing (Salt Lake City, UT)
  • Archebooks Publishing (Las Vegas, NV)
  • Durban House Publishing (Dallas, TX)
  • Harbor House (Augusta, GA) (as of November 2008, there are signs that this one may be out of business)
  • Helm Publishing (Rockford, IL)
  • Hilliard and Harris (Boonsboro, MD)
  • New World Media, Inc., a.k.a. American Book Press (formerly Washington House and Mandrill, a.k.a. Trident Media) (Alexandria, VA)
  • Oak Tree Press (Taylorville, IL)
  • PublishAmerica (Frederick, MD)
  • Royal Fireworks Press/Silk Label Books (Unionville, NY)
  • SterlingHouse Publisher (Pittsburgh, PA--imprints include, among others, Pemberton Mysteries, 8th Crow Books, Cambrian House Books, Blue Imp Books, Caroline House Books, Dove House Books, and PAJA Books)
  • Tate Publishing (Mustang, OK)
  • Whitmore Publishing Company (Pittsburgh, PA)
Have any to add... Boy this is a process. ;)
