I have recently received a offer of contract from Pegasus, through their imprint Vanguard. But they want me to pay up front, £2,700 (Instalmets also offered).

Do i accept or not? Please advise.

A resounding NO. I can smell a rotten red herring from a can without even opening its lid. I am sure they will try to paint a rosy picture too just to get money from you. Be very aware Dave.

A big NO! What do they give in return? This is an old post but I doubt much has changed http://www.theindependentpublishingmagazine.com/2011/11/pegasus-elliot-mackenzie-reviewed.html Basically it's vanity publishing
