Vanity publishers praise your work to the skies in order to get your manuscript.

You will never hear a word of criticism from vanity publishers. They appeal to the vanity of the author.

You will hear a lot of promises from vanity publishers: great marketing campaigns, innovative sales structures and activities, all to introduce and sell your book to an enormous audience.

And here are the snags:

Frequently asked questions

What no one will ever
tell you

You will be asked to pay for the print run, since book production by vanity publishers is financed by the author. That means that before your book is launched, you will have to pay a considerable sum to print your book.

The great marketing campaigns and innovative sales structures turn out to be promises that are never kept.

Once vanity publishers are insolvent, you won't get anything. What is more, the vanity publishers disappear with their copyright to your work.
