Does anyone know ANYTHING about this publisher? I can't find anything on this, good or bad, beyond their own website. They have several titles available on Amazon and B&N, and appear to be a POD publisher. But that's all I can find. I'd love any feedback you might have.

Here's the link to their website: http://www.endurancepress.com/books/

That's a pretty sparse website. I can't tell what kind of books they want: they seem to lean heavily toward Christian non-fiction. Odd that they don't spell out what formats are available for purchase from the site (from the sample I tested, it seems to be only paperback, and slightly more expensive than purchasing the same paperback from Amazon, although you can download a Kindle version for free).

They provide links to their authors' blogs but very little other information. I dunno - if you're really curious, I suppose you could download one of those free Kindle versions and see how it looks, or maybe contact one of the authors and ask how their experience has been.

I checked out their Amazon sales ranks: mostly in the millions, implying low sales on that platform, at least. Books seem to be a mix of Polish Interest, Christian & neoconservative themes, some kids' books. A publisher of the same name, with a Polish focus, was active in the 1960s with anti-Soviet books...I couldnt discover if this was coincidence or a reboot.

Thanks everyone. I did e-mail one of their authors. She didn't provide a ton of information (she wasn't effusive in her praise), but she was happy enough with them that she's publishing with them a 2nd time. I may go ahead and send them my MS and see where it goes. I haven't completely decided whether I want to go the agent route with this one, or go small publishing house. My current ms is going through Penner Publishing and I've been VERY happy with their professionalism, but I don't think they handle the genre for this new one. I guess I'll keep you posted on what I find out about Endurance.
