| Pros*: | *Competitive retail price. *They screen manuscripts. *Good author's discount. |
||
| Cons*: | *Slightly expensive setup fee considering that that fee does not include cover design. *Setup fee is kept artificially low by excluding cover design. *Low royalties on direct sales. *Single trim size available. *Their Kindle publishing deal is far from ideal. |
||
| Comments*: | This publisher has renamed itself. It used to be 'Action Tales' (though in this particular case that may reflect a change in focus from fiction to a wider range of subjects). | ||
