Publishers Who Avoid Specifics on Their Web Site

Every week I receive emails from many of my newsletter readers asking me to comment on publishing companies, which I am happy to do. What amazes me is how many of these “publishers” never offer the names, background or experience of the people involved with the company. They typically make very generic statements such as “our executives have years of corporate experience,” and to that my questions would be: corporate experience in what? Publishing? For whom? How long? What was your job?

If you are serious about publishing your writing, one where you have invested an enormous amount of time creating, why in the world would you trust a company to publish that is afraid or unwilling to reveal who they are? I’m sorry folks but this is wrong! You are making a huge mistake if you turn your writing over to these kinds of companies! This follows a theme I’ve written about many times, it’s a buyer beware kind of industry, especially for the Independent writer.

If you don’t know the questions to ask, or you find a publisher that does not reveal who they are and what their experience in publishing might be, then please, avoid! Run the other way! Protect your copyright, protect the investment in your manuscript, save your money, don’t waste your time, there are plenty of reputable publishers.
