I know I haven't visited here very much since I joined (School keeps me busy), but a friend of mine just published a collection of poems through Aperture Press (www.aperturepress.net). I hadn't heard of them before, so I tried looking around online for some information, but there doesn't really seem to be any. I'm not sure if it's because they're new, but I'm curious if anyone has any experience with them. Apparently, he saw an article in the paper about a local woman who published a book through them, sent them a letter himself asking if they would look at his work, and then sent samples when they requested them. To me, it seemed strange. Everything I've read has basically said that unsolicited contact like that doesn't really get you anywhere. Long story short: No agent, sent in his work, published by some place I've never heard of, no info online except their website, and the last person to trust when you're buying a car is the salesman. Any information would be great; this is the best forum I've ever seen for anything and everything related to writing and publishing. Thanks in advance,
