Ron Fry ..Book publishers who lie. Career Press New Jersey
Beware, all writers and creative types, of a company called Career Press in New Jersey. It's run by someone called Ron Fry, who lies on the phone about what you'll get paid if he publishes your work, then sends you a deceptive contract.
After you sign it, he all but disappears and denies what he promised you. This guy's a real piece of work, and runs a fairly large publishing house. I'm not the only one who's been taken by him, and he's been denounced by a nationally syndicated columnist, other, more legitimate publishers, attorneys who've had to work with others seeking fairness, and many other writers.
The almighty buck rules at this company, and quality of work runs a distant second. It was the worse mistake of my career to trust this person and sign with him. ALWAYS have your contracts reviewed by an attorney before signing; no matter what it costs, it's worth it.
