Publisher vs Vanity Press vs e Publish

<< < (2/3) > >>

Kris_W:
There are a lot of unethical publishers out there. The media (Paper vs. Pixels) doesn’t make much of a difference.  Start with reading these:

http://www.sfwa.org/for-authors/writer-beware/
http://misssnark.blogspot.com/ (Yes, I know it isn’t being updated any more – read it anyway)

SCARPA:
Thanks for the info.

P.N. Elrod is a writer who is known for being very helpful to new authors starting out. She has a lot of that information in the FAQ section of her Website: http://vampwriter.com/FAQ-WRITING.htm

KevinEvans:
I have extensive E published work, but I won't publish or submit work, unless they pay SFWA rates....

The Dread Pharaoh Roberts:
A vanity press won't even edit your work, much less help you market it or get it put on any bookstore shelves.  Unless you're going to sell the book yourself, I wouldn't go that direction.  Something I was told by a very successful author is "the author should only sign the check on the back."  If you gotta pay for it, it's probably a scam.
