I'm so glad I Google'd "...Hey Jennifer! I'm so glad I Google'd "Ellora's Cave Problems" because this post was the first thing to come up in my search. I'm a long time erotica writer myself and have been seriously considering publishing for the first time (like doing my research on publishers and self publishing) and thankfully came across your fantastical blog pot. Even after reading EC's submission guidelines, there was a little red bell going off in my head and WAH-BAM!-- I find your story. I knew I read someone shitting on EC way back on a tumblr post earlier this year, and was shocked to discover how many people they're ripping off (and to think they have the FUCKING GALL to announce they're accepting new genres besides erotica. WTF?). As a (hopefully) future published author, I am rooting for you and your epic-ness in taking the bastards down, and if there's anything I can do, even if it's just to spread the word over and over again, I'd be more than happy to. I wish you much luck in this, my dear!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17068509666161655833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560948310084622323.post-47165307715560638692016-06-19T13:28:57.384-07:002016-06-19T13:28:57.384-07:00EC is currently refusing to give me back the right...EC is currently refusing to give me back the rights to my remaining 7 titles with the reason being they are all still selling too many copies. The amount they want to buy them back is ludicrous and I haven't seen any royalties paid since the royalties collected in July of 2015. So they're holding 11 months worth of royalties for ransom along with the 7 titles. It's. Ridiculous. And I haven't heard of ANYONE getting a check since January of this year. It's completely illegal and the only reason they're staying afloat is because they aren't paying us our money.

They are always looking for a new kind of story and a "BEWARE FUTURE AUTHORS" seems like one that they could run with.

No payment for sales after February. No rights back though I keep asking. Their response is - sue us - but the cost and difficulty of that is immense. I have cried long and hard about this. Even if I asked readers not to buy my books, what is to stop EC saying I sold more than 100?? They have lied to us, promised to pay and haven't. I can't believe writers are still signing with them. So they are probably paying them at our expense. Just give me what you owe me and my rights back.
