How is the author a consumer?

Consumer is the person that buys the final product.

The author is not buying anything. The publisher does not buy the book. The author gets paid every time his book sells so that makes him the seller not a buyer.
He is entering into a deal to HELP him sell his books.

Sorry consumer protection laws would have nothing to do with the author.
