Just because I'm evil...
I sent this link to Miss Snark back on June 30, and she posted her Snarky thoughts on the topic on the same date.
Guess what? She doesn't like it.

If they don't charge money it's merely a bad idea.

Not sure what you meant by that remark, James. It appears they charge ten pounds to view critiques done on your own submitted work. But you don't have to look at them. Puma

Has A. M. Heath ever bought a book through their service? How is going through their service different from submitting a book directly to A. M. Heath?
About display sites in general (YADS is Yet Another Display Site -- there have been dozens, if not hundreds, of similar sites over the past fifteen years) if they don't charge money they're a bad idea. If they do charge money they're a scam.
Every single one I'm aware of has failed over the course of one to two years, maximum. (It appears to depend on how much money the founders had in their bank accounts when they started).
Those that are still in business, like Rosedog, were bought out by vanity presses as a source of new authors willing to pay to be published.
If you want your manuscript to be noticed by publishers or agents, send it to publishers or agents. Display sites are proven non-starters.

Whoa! Didn't mean to offend.
I was just remarking that they had the link and that a lot of details about A. M. Heath were on the site, which is unusual, so I was wondering if they had permission from the firm. I wasn't advocating anyone using the service. I assume most here are big girls and boys and able to make their own decisions in the matter.

Why display sites are not a great idea.
Is it not amazing how every one that comes a long thinks it's reinventing the wheel--even though it works exactly the way the others do?

Looks like The Frontlist didn't survive founder The Friday Project's 2008 dissolution (and eventual purchase by HarperCollins).
