Their FAQ's look a little different that the ones posted on this forum. The following make think they are not a vanity press:
"How much will it cost me to publish my book with BCP?
Nothing! You may choose, on your own, to pay for additional marketing/branding/promoting services, and it’s honestly not a bad idea. The more work you put into marketing your book, the better the chances it will sell well. But the bottom line is, you will not pay one penny out of pocket for our services
Will I get an advance if you make an offer to publish my book?
At this time, no. Like all other indie publishers, BCP does not offer advances at this time.
What percentage of my book sales will I actually get to keep?
Okay, this is called royalties. And at this time, BCP is offering 20% royalties on print/paperback novel sales and 40% royalties on e-book/digital book sales. We believe this is a very competitive royalty structure and when BCP was founded, we decided up front that we wanted to offer our authors a royalty amount they could be happy with and be proud of.
Will I receive copies of my book(s) to take to book fairs, festivals, and author signings?
Yes and no. Currently, BCP sends every author one copy of their book, with a special message from the BCP team included, for you as a keepsake! Just our own little personal “thank you” for joining our family. We also pass along our discount from the distributor to you so you can order copies of your book at a lower rate (exact rate depends on the number of books ordered). We don't make a profit off of these books."
However, I have not submited to them even though they've liked my tweets in several pitch contents. They no books for sale on their website, and they have a view counter visible at the bottom with a kind of low number of views. The home page is geared towards authors, not readers. I'd be afraid my book would never get published.
