Nothing at all about their fees or percentages on their site.
Some general rules?
1) If their contract takes exclusive rights without paying you an advance, run. The only case where this is OK is with a small press that is doing superb marketing in your genre.
2) If they are charging any up front fees at all and taking any percentage of the income on sales, run. There are a few exceptions to this rule, but in almost all cases a company which both charges fees for services AND takes a percentage of income is a scam. Publishers earn the right to a percentage of the sales by footing the bill for editing, formatting, covers, etc.
Page Publishing is able to perform a complete list of services for our authors while requiring only a minimal investment since we collect a small administration fee from each book sale. This fee, which is only 20-25 cents per book sold leaves the vast majority of any profits to directly into your pocket![
From the material they sent me it says they charge 20-25 cents per book depending on the price of the book. They claim to foot the bill for editting , formatting, etc. but it seems almost to good to be true!![]()
They are on the 17th floor but not under page publishing
Signing a deal where you pay the publisher and then continue to pay them after publication until you hit that figure makes no sense whatsoever.
For future reference... Yes, what was posted above seems to be true. I've googled the thing, the second result was a thread of authors who didn't buy their story and contacted this company to investigate.
They were listed as regular published instead of vanity press, yet, to see her book published over a phone call one aspirant author was asked $5000 upfront as "author investment".
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but a room with the 6289 number wouldn't be located on the 62th floor? Well... One Penn Plaza has 57 floors.
