Author Complaints, Conflicts of Interest at Fortis Publishing – Written By Victoria Strauss For Writer Beware Last year, I began to receive complaints from authors with UK-based Fortis Publishing. Issues cited included poorly proofed and/or formatted books (missing images or chapters, for example); little or no marketing; delayed or missing sales reports and royalty payments; poor communication and failure to respond to emails and questions, editing fees, possible fictitious staff members, authors’ names attached without permission to book blurbs they didn’t write, and extra-contractual changes to royalty reporting schedules, despite the contract’s stipulation that modifications must be made in writing and signed by both parties. https://aurorajalexander.wordpress.com/2025/08/25/author-complaints-conflicts-of-interest-at-fortis-publishing-written-by-victoria-strauss-for-writer-beware/
