              02/25/2023

              In 2011, Dog Ear Published published my book. I had three universities and a high school wanting to purchase my book in bulk. I was informed that Dog Ear Publishing would not fill the orders due to how these entities are required to pay. I spoke to the owner and he said for them to speak to him personally when they make their order. They still were not able to order due to Dog Ears payment requirements. When Dog Ear was planning on charging me for the yearly printing fee, I called to talk to them and the phone numbers were Dino longer in service. I received no response from my emails sent to them. I would like to know if they are out of business and if I can use another publisher. The only rights they had were to print my book and submit it to be sold on Amazon, ************** and others.
