Um, yeah. Sure you will.

I'm a bit busy now, but if others want to weigh in and cite all the things wrong with this idea, I'll come back later with popcorn.

I'll kick things off with a statement to new writers: Yes, they pay, but no editor in his or her right mind is going to count this as a professional publishing credit.

When you see something like this:

We are actively searching for new writers to publish. In the fiction category we offer several publishing plans.

"Up to $200"? Is that code for $5 or $10? Plus one is supposed to give them the right to edit extraneous apostrophes into one's work to maximize their "royalty's"?

I'm underwhelmed. But then, I'm not a previously published author so I'm not qualified to partake of this princely largesse.
