If you have to pay a publisher to take your work, which you could self-publish for very little expense, then you will never make your money back. These people are not recommended.

Hi Dave. I asked the same question about the same publisher several weeks ago and was given the same advice NO! I took the advice and stayed away from them. I understand that if you have to pay any money to a publisher it is vanity/ self publishing. Hope this helps.
