"Reputable" may be a relative term. Acacia may have been at one time but I just checked their website and found the following: EMPHASIS ADDED
"Acacia Publishing offers authors an intimate and accessible approach to the publishing industry. We have positioned ourselves in the niche between a publisher for hire and a publisher in the more traditional sense. Although we are a small house, we pride ourselves on our diversity of titles and on the exceptional editing skills of our talented staff. If you have a manuscript, we have the skills to bring your project to life. Unlike a traditional publishing house, we do not purchase manuscripts for publication at our expense. Instead, we assist authors in bringing their work to life on a schedule and budget they prefer. Traditional publishers allow authors little creative control over their own manuscripts and may take years to bring a book to market. Acacia Publishing is able to fast-forward that process. Unlike many vanity presses, however, Acacia Publishing offers authors an option for publishing that is both affordable and professional. You remain in complete control of both your manuscript and the quantity of books that you want to print. We also provide options for editing, marketing, and distribution so that your project can be profitable to you.
At Acacia Publishing we provide authors with their choice of the following services:
Editing
Cover Design
Book Layout
Distribution (via Book Clearing House, Ingram, Baker & Taylor, and amazon.com)
Advertising
Public Relations
Using one or more of these services does not obligate an author to use any of the others; they are all available "a la carte" and entirely at the author's discretion."
Also on their homepage the announce a writing contest:
"ANNOUNCING the SECOND ANNUAL
Autobiography/Biography/Memoir
Writing Contest
The winning book will be published prior to the 2015 holiday season,
and the author will receive a 10% royalty on all sales."
The entry fee is $75.00 by check or credit card.
