There is nothing this small press can do for you that you can't do for yourself -- except give you migraines. I never once received a cover, edit round, marketing piece, or even an email OR Facebook message reply on time. Normally you wouldn't be Facebook messaging your publisher/editor like that, but for a while that was the only way to get a response without using the word "lawyer" in an email. They might hand out pretty covers (when, you know, the covers actually match the book's story), but it's not worth the price of your book failing because you didn't get your cover in time for marketing (I didn't get mine until the 11th hour before release), or ARCs weren't ready because you never got "copy edits", which must just be a run through spellcheck because the errors that remained were plentiful and I had to hire an outside editor. Not to mention all the things they promise to help you with for marketing that never get done. But if you don't help them market their pet projects, you're the bad guy.
They talk a good talk, but a walk through their Facebook group will show you the problems you're experiencing aren't just your own. Steer clear of this one until they get their focus back together and actually help their authors.
