Publishing Offer

by Janie Clarenne
4th March 2023

I would be really grateful for some advice regarding an offer I have received to publish my book. The publisher has offered to pay half the costs with 50% of the sales. Is this the norm now?  Not sure which route to take here: whether to send my script off to literary agents for further appraisal or go with the offer.

Janie,
I would advise caution. You need to check them out - especially their record. Some will take your money and give very little back in return. Have they said what the costs are and what they will actually do?
