Well, an update on Simon and Northrop Publishing, I contacted the BBB (Better Business) and found that they have been turned in many times. They have bad marks...
Welcome Roger. I am new to these boards myself. My nickname is Summer (That is what they call me on EQ and it just kinda stuck with me) my real name is Velvet....
They are part of Dorrance. I submitted to Dorrance a long time ago. From what I hear they are not ones to get mixed up with either. I do not know about the...
Dorrance tried to get me to publish my first book with them for $27,000!!! Unbelievable. They even sent me a letter some months later knocking $1000 off the...
Holy cow.. 27k!!! Did they also want a percentage in royalties? When I sent in they wanted a large chunk of change and 20% each book sold for 2 years. They...
Holy Cow! And I thought the $5,300 someone was quoted by another press was high! That's highway robbery! Brenda Coxe Assistant Editor-in-Chief The Cheers ...
Yes, summer is correct, definitely shy away from subsidy/vanity publishers. Self-publishing is a reasonable comparable and who have good reputations. I...
Hello everyone .I am a pod book printer and I print books for many self published publishers . I am willing to help anyone that has a question about my...
I would certainly be certain even with agents to check out Writer Beware and/or Preditors and Edtors before making a decision. Brenda Coxe Assistant...
Well, thankfully, I never used Dorrance. I can't remember if they wanted a percentage. Maybe. I went POD instead. Got screwed by 1st Books so now I have my own...

Hello, I recently submitted my ms. to Phenix and Phenix and they are interested in publishing the book through their in-house imprint Synergy Books. It will a...
At those prices, why wouldn't they be interested in your book? I think it sounds waaaay to expensive....

Phenix is way too expensive. There are many publishers who will print 100 books or less and you can design your own cover. Don't you have any friends with...

All this talk of other publishers...it seemed like a good time for a reminder. This site is maintained by a self-publishing company and we are always happy to...
Seems like a vanity press to me. I wouldn't use them. Not to be negative but odds are you'll never break even on this (hence they're super high prices because...
Just based on what you're telling me, I'd say they're vanity or subsidy publishers -- avoid those like the plague. Not only do publishers frown on them for...
Thanks for all the responses. I did get a bit more feedback from them. Here is what they pitched: First, they are experienced firm with ten authors becoming...
Hi, I'm a new self-publisher and am looking for any information on how to promote my book. Any and all information is needed and appreciated. Janelle Goodwin ...
I would keep looking myself also. I have a question, when you go to a subsidy publisher with your first novel or two is it difficult to get another publisher...
One of the best ways to promote your book would be with the internet. Find yourself a good webmaster who knows SEO (Search Engine Optimization)the person can...
If you don't want to build the site yourself and don't want to spend alot of money, Writer Gazette has a very basic site that is just for writers. Krista only...
IMHO, YES. They're going to tell you that. And you'd be setting yourself up for failure. For the price they charge, do you really think they care if you can...
These guys here are more up to date on that, but I've been told by NUMEROUS people that if you've been published by a vanity or subsidy publisher, it's almost...
I intend to get in touch with other authors of English grammar because there are many points which need clarification. For example the concept of Perfect...
Ahh I am not sure you understand what search engine optimization is. It is optimizing the site so search engines will pick it up. Making sure everything is in...
I have been thinking a lot lately that maybe I should try to find an agent. I have tried agents in the past and they didn't work well for me. They always want...
In my current deliberations on whether to use an agent or self-publish, i have encountered a few agents and my impression is that good agents do not charge...
Problem with agents? Can't get an agent without a finished ms (unless you're already well known) and can't get published much of the time without an agent and...
