Message: <blockquote data-quote="ha-gieden" data-source="post: 3441147" data-attributes="member: 50207">I'm going through Windstorm Creative.  I've had a lot of people say that they've heard bad things about Windstorm (mostly that their distribution/production isn't large enough), and I've even seen that they aren't recommended at P and E, but my experience with them has been pretty good.They've also recently improved.  **They have signed deals with more distributors, including Barnes and Nobles, to get their books on the shelves and not just on their internet sites.  **They've brought proffessional PR people on board.  **I had a lawyer go over my contract with Windstorm, and he found it to be solid.  **I'm going to be paid 15% gross off of every sale of any of my books.  Some people get up to 20%.**In its seventeen years, Windstorm has only backlisted one book.  **They have just improved their turn-around time.  There's now just over a year between signing the contract and seeing your books on the shelves. They are a growing company (something like 400% in the past year) and they are easy to work with.  And personally, I love the fact that they produce all their books using the most ecologically sound practices possible, limiting toxins and using recycled materials.They're really helping me to understand the publishing process, and I'm glad to be getting my start with them.  I would recommend them to others.  Unfortunately, they are currently not signing any new authors (this hasn't been posted on their website, however, and I suspect that if a book was good enough, they'd just send the author a contract that set production for next year).</blockquote>
