[Publisher] EyeScream Media

They posted an ad on job site Indeed looking for manuscripts. I can't find a website for them; maybe one of you can help me out. (No, I'm not thinking of submitting).

I recommend reading this ad to believe it, but they say they are looking for "10 independent authors to start," and that they accept "short stories, poems, screen plays, musical lyrics" or "one finalized book/novel."

They say they will publish through "Amazon and Kindle at no cost to you" but that they are "not a promoting company. If you are chosen for publication it is up to you to push your work to your audience."

If someone is able to point out just what could possibly be the advantage of submitting to a company like this, be my guest, because I sure can't.

There would have to be a lot, considering they state straight out that they do no promotion to speak of. Still, I would hope there aren't nearly that many writers able to be convinced that submitting to this publisher offers them any advantage over self-publishing.

One of these things is not like the other. Color me a newbie, but do lyrics even go through the same channels as nonlyrical prose?

I'm hardly an expert on this, but there are companies that specifically handle music publishing: IF the lyrics are attached to an actual song. I would think there would be the exact same amount of profit to be had in lyrics with no music attached as there is in poetry: i.e., none.
