I came across this publisher on Lee Goldberg's blog, and searched the Bewares and Background Checks forum and found nothing. A search of all the forums found a recommendation from Victoria that it was okay, a small independent that didn't require an agent.
The comments made about this publisher are that Bancroft supplies, in addition to publishing, a paid editorial service, and that this was an ethical conflict of interest for a "traditional publisher". In addition, the CEO is apparently marketing himself as a book doctor, ghost writer, editor and a few other roles: http://www.book-editing.com/bancroftpress.htm
There are a few comments on Lee's blog (http://leegoldberg.typepad.com/a_writers_life/2005/05/more_on_bancrof.html and http://leegoldberg.typepad.com/a_writers_life/2005/05/bancroft_press_.html) as well as some emailed commentary from the CEO of Bancroft.
My question here is, has anyone had good or bad experiences with this Publisher?
