- vanity press
Barb, Thank you so much for clarifying the difference between vanity presses and self-publishing. I fully understand the difference now. It sounds like vanity presses don't really care if you do well or not, ever have a successful career, or have a best seller on your hands. Their money is made when you pay them and little more happens after that. What I find especially troublesome is that they now own your book. What if it had been a best-seller? What if that book could have spearheaded your career? It is all over. I thank honest people like you for clarifying this and preventing serious mistakes being made by the rest of us. Great to know there is some honor and dignity in the publishing business.
