TG.I.M. Digital Publishing and it's founder, Eric L. Jones (Sr.) a convicted FELON, has been targeting Disabled Individuals and Diabilities Groups as well as Organizations that help Disadvantaged Youth.
The Game. Writing workshops (that never come about once they have been paid for) and helping organizations and individuals publish books (both e-books and books in print) which both further individuals as writers and serve as fund raisers for organizations.
Oh, T.G.I.M. has a VERY slick looking Web page and boasts of connections in Africa and all over Europe. They also have a Face Book page with two hundred and fifty some likes right now. Point is, all of this does not mean a thing.
They don't come THROUGH. They Keep needing a "little more money" and a "little more time". They'll FINALLY get your e-book on their site AFTER you have given them $700 to $900 (keep in mind that these are dedicated individuals with disabilities that he is targeting. People on limited incomes) To get the book in print they need those e-books to sell and they just need a "little more time and money from "YOU" Money that is NOT written into the contract that Eric Jones (the owner and only REAL employee of this "VAST" enterprise) has you sign, which, conveniently says you will pay a fee....but they don't have that fee written in "yet" and...he has "people who are going to back you financially" so "you don't need to worry about it" and he is just "really doing all this for the kids"
Well, he even told one writer that he had "$90,000" in "financial backing" for a book that had not even been PUBLISHED but he needed $700...then it was $900. Then, since the printed book had NOT came out (and some of her peers had pre-ordered and chose to ask PayPay for $45 in refunds until he actually got it out in print), he charged HER $140 because he had to REFUND $45. Then he needed a few more $. And there were delays getting it out into actual print form. Then it WAS in print form and he was going to be using that "$90,000" in "financial backing" to get her on "book selling tours" and out promoting and signing her book.
Then he wanted the "author" to sell his "writing seminars" to the community organizations that she had connections with as she is well known in the disabilites communities. Please keep in mind that Mr. Eric Jones is actually NOT a writer, Has NEVER held a workshop, has NEVER written anything himself and does not hold a DEGREE in writing. He's an ex-FELON. That's his talent.
The author did not do this. Independent of T.G.I.M. Digital Publishing, she had organizations that were interested in her speaking AND in her actual book. She's a well known speaker in the disabilies community. No, I cannot give her name as T.G.I.M. has the writers sign a "contract' so it can milk them and any organizations they are associated with dry before they are able to complain.
By the way, her bookk actually sold well. Both Amazon Barnes and Noble indicated that, when they finally got the book in, they sold a MASSIVE number of copies. The author and her charitable organizations that she indicated as recipients of this money have not seen a CENT in royalties and T.G.I.M. is not bothering to answer her phone calls. Oh, and she paid for 100 copies of her own book so that she could distibute them. She has never seen them.
But, I can complain.
Then, when Eric Jones (Sr) and T.G.I.M. Digital Publishing could get no more money out of this author, they moved on to another well known charitable organization and are now telling them that they can publish for them and help them "make money" Only they will now just run into a "little trouble" and need a few dollars at t time from standforthe silent.org now (an anti bullying campaign. Then they will move on to some other organization.
