I'm right and I know it. I don't need credentials.I'm awaiting the resume of every self-promoting don't-know-nothing people that's bashing this revolutionary publisher. I myself have submitted my story to them, and will be back in the future to 'Promote my published book' in this same forum. I'm still waiting for that resume that proves you know English grammar more than me. Please respond
I wonder if someone should warn Mr. Wetherall about this other company with such a similar name appearing and making such a bad impression on people?
In the UK, making yourself appear to be another company is called "passing off" and is illegal.
Definitely ESL.Our logo is actually ‘Welcome to the future of publishing, exactly where you can actually judge a book by its cover,’ because we all know that a picture can tell a thousand words. I am looking for the purpose of manuscripts with good characterization plus a fresh voice; the kind of stories that may become the future’s classics.

The other company with a similar name but no connection is in Minnesota, not UK. (edit: at least the one we found out about. For all I know, there may be a UK one as well.)It is reasonable to conclude that she is unconnected with any business of a similar/same name in the UK. If any of this makes it to Preditors and Editors, then the listing should include a notation to that effect.
Considering they're using a different full name and have capitalized one of the internal letters in the first word, and they've not claimed to be the other, it doesn't seem that's an issue legally.
I can truthfully state I went to MIT. Which I did.
I passed through the campus looking for a coffee shop.
Attended?? You had dinner with a Chancellor. You just earned yourself tenure.Oh, wait, that's our benchmark? Ok, in that case I've also been to the universities of:
Oxford, Cambridge, Newcastle, Birmingham (medical school no less), Manchester (all 3 of them), Warwick, Coventry, Edinburgh, Glasgow and a few others
Actually, I've been to concerts or theatre productions at all of these, worked at a couple of them and had a formal dinner with the Chancellor and his wife at one of them... But I am now so claiming them as universities I have attended now
I saw the name and picture on the website, but I reckoned it may mean nothing more than a random picture and a random name. Celina Marka may be no more real than Egland the media mogul. A google search for Celina Marka doesn't throw up anything.The person behind ParaDon in Great Falls, Montana is Celina Marka. Her picture is on the website's submissions page, along with the still uncorrected grammar.
