Has anybody ever heard of Sterlinghouse Publishers? Before I went to PA I had contacted them and after they said they wanted my book I was told I had to buy 500 copies for them to publish it. This just popped into my head for some reason and I thought I would share it. Oh yeah, ever hear of Finesse Literary Agency? That was a joke too.

I have not heard of SterlingHouse Publishers in any practical way. P & E does not recommend them, however.
I have heard of Finesse Literary Agency. Unless they have changed, they charge fees. |

Kevin,
You don't want to really know about Finesse, do you????  There are several of us here who were fleeced by that person. We were screwed royally and not even kissed.
No, I have never heard of SterlingHouse though. But good you put it up as rip place.

I have heard somewhat of both of these "companies".
If you haven't already...run. Just run away.

I tried Finesse a long time ago, but ran away. Sterlinghouse was a joke as well, I missed work so I could call the woman about a possible contract and she kept me on the line for an hour before telling me I had to buy books. Everywhere you go people try to scam you, it's pathetic. I thought I made it good with PA, I was wrong again.

Sterling House is a vanity publisher owned by Cynthia Sterling, who also owns Lee Shore, a fee-charging literary agency. Writer Beware has received quite a few complaints. Ditto for Finesse.
