Author Solutions to Be a Class Action?

Publishers Weekly reports that the Author Solutions lawsuit may be developing into a class action.

“[Author Solutions], as part of a company-wide policy, hides from consumers that it is a telemarketing operation,” plaintiff attorneys argue, “with no stake in the quality or retail success of its authors' books.”

And, in opposition:

Attorneys for Author Solutions have branded the suit "a misguided attempt to make a federal class action out of a series of gripes,” and, in their latest briefs, argue that the authors “have invented out of whole cloth a purported ‘deceptive scheme’ in an attempt to indict [Author Solutions’] entire marketing operation and its senior management.”
