More details to this question:
Last June 13th, 2014 we, my wife and I, entered into an agreement with a New York publisher to undertake a self publishing project on our behalf. We paid upfront the amount requested and we were told the book would be published by October, 2014. Now we cannot even get any response to our emails In such cases are costs awarded in the event litigation is successful? .

Court costs are generally awarded to the prevailing party, but these costs are minimal, i.e. filing fees, etc. They would not cover your attorneys' fees or travel expenses. Absent a statute or contractual provision expressly providing for the prevailing party to recover attorneys' fees and/or other expenses, each party pays its own.
