So this morning I found the following comment on my blog:
So if I pre-sell 300 copies they'll publish me...all for the low fee of 45pounds..that's roughly 66$ right now.
The webpage they set up actually looks nice....and if you look at the sample page they offered there's a sponser me link and you can read the first chapter.
According to the actual site: http://www.catcher.me They do some kind of training program with schools. They have a similar deal with music.
Dear Writer,
We are a UK-based publisher and would like to publish and market your first novel.
Simply email us your Chapter 1 and we will set up a Profile/Pre Orders Page for you on our website.
If you (and us) then obtain 300 pre-orders for your novel via the Catcher website (Pulse Books), we guarantee to publish your book in April 2009 and to continue to sell it on our website with a royalty rate of 40% paid to you (this compares to a royalty rate of just c. 6% paid by other publishers to their writers).
Please visit http://www.catcher.me/pulse/users/chrisingram to see how your page will appear. We charge a small administration fee of £45 (or equivalent) to set this up for you.
This is a fantastic opportunity for unpublished writers but it’s critical that you register now so that your novel has the best chance of being published in April.
All you need to do now is email your Chapter 1 (as a file attachment) to [email protected]. Please include your full contact details (name, email address & telephone number) so that we can email/call you back.
We look forward to hearing from you - and to being the publisher that publishes your first novel!
Kind regards,
Julia Heron
