Excellent timing. Although I’d already got suspicious when I saw that you’re expected to sign the contract before they’ve even seen your book. How can you expect a correct estimate if they don’t know how much work e.g. editing will require?
So thanks for this article!

I just got followed by Book Tango on Twitter. I thought I’d check them out and found the connection to ASI. As a new independent author, I’m constantly on the lookout for viable yet affordable advertising. It’s like walking through a mine field filled with scams, so I always Google the source company to check on their press. Thanks for the heads up! I think I’ll give this a pass.
