Website
I'm a bit concerned about this publisher. They're an Australian setup, and they're doing a publicity event in my town next month. In particular I don't like this: http://ipoz.biz/guide.htm. Scroll down to where they start talking about reading fees, and further down to where they mention 'partnership agreements', which looks like vanity publishing to me.
My summation is that this is a company that has a couple of 'famous names' as a veneer for a vanity setup; there doesn't seem to be any division between the royalty arm and the vanity arm, either.
Also the majority of the covers are terrible.
I'd be grateful for any opinions on this, even for some experienced eyes just to look over the website.
Oh, and the number of outfits telling poor writers that they can be published on Amazon, and then taking money off them for converting a word document to html and uploading it! Makes me want to start throwing things.
