Do not sign with ENAZ PUBLISHING i had a terrible terrible experience with them. Although the conract has a gag order on it heck God is on my side. They are the worst they are a subsidiary of Seaburn Publishing and he is a con artist. They will not promote,distribute, or edit your book like they say. They will not do a press release the website is all hype stay away run for cover. In order for me to get out of there contract they wanted 8,900.00 but that is cool. I know that i am setting myself up for a legal fight with tem for trashing them but please STAY AWAY FROM ENAZ PUBLISHING AND SEABURN PUBLISHING THEY ARE HAND IN HAND.

That is crazy! I thought the company might be shady because I couldn't get any info on them. Thanks for the invaluable info, REALLY!!

THANK YOU!!! I was wondering myself because I couldn't find any info. I thought maybe it was Zane's because it's zane spelled backwards.

Good luck.

I thought the same thing - about Zane - that's what initially piqued my interest.

It was just a clever ploy to 'ape' Zane's name. Zane is a member of this site and has no need to cheat anyone, considering her outstanding success. Zane is Strebor - a subsidiary of Simon and Schuster.

I researched them as well and found nothing negative about them, so i went with the company. I have had the worst experience and to all of the new authors never give your publishing rights away. I still have the copyrights but they have the publsihing rights, so i had to make it into a second edition and it is blowing up. THANK YOU GOD FOR ALWAYS GUIDING AND PROTECTING ME. It is hard because there are people who prey on new authors even the large publishing houses do the same thing. You just have to pray and walk by faith and that is what i am doing. If you get a chance please visit my website at rolandvtyler.com where you can read chapter three.

I read it...very good! Thanks again for the info...my spirit was nagging me not to sign that contract - I'm glad I didn't!

Thank's you Roland, for your input on Enaz, I have had one of the terrible experience with them. I have some legal help, we pull up a letter and sent it to them, they received it by signing the green slip, but they never said anything back to me. I ask to be taken out of the contract, nothing, I ask for my copyright certificate or number, no repley. I paid for it.I looked in the book of congress for my name, nothing. Who own's Zane ? they are not to be trusted, did you buy some of your book so you could sell them ? meet the fool that did;I can not sell them , they are one big mess, all of my work in the book is yet like it was when I sent it to them.

Note to All:

If you can not find ONE thing on a publisher online . . . RUN! Don't think, just flee.
As for your not being able to find an agent - it takes a long time to make a fit with the right agent and the right manuscript. Are you one hundred percent sure that your manuscript is what they are looking for to make money right now? Is it a hot topic? Is your book well written? Edited? What's your 30 second pitch?

Please consider small, independent publishers - 90 percent of the time they don't require agents (more money for you). Just be sure they are publishing your type of book. Research, research, research!

This was a definite tease; I have to find out what happened and who the stranger was. An exciting story and characters to be believed. I want a "taste of this novel.
