Additional Comments*
|
They are based in Australia and their focus
seems to be mostly on local authors (Australia and
New Zealand mostly) for whom this may be a good
option.
This publisher is unusual in that it pays
royalties on all copies sold, including those sold
to the author (official author's discount is low,
but it comes out as acceptable once those royalties
are added).
|
At the time of this writing
this publisher is not accepting new
submissions (and that has been the case
for a while now)
