2 Moon Press Publishing replied to 2 Moon Press Publishing's discussion 'What do you look for in a publisher?'"Choosing to pay to publish your book does not make you not officially published, nor does it remove any credence to your work, or status as an author.

Robert L. Allen replied to 2 Moon Press Publishing's discussion 'What do you look for in a publisher?'"I agree! Those wanting to have the writer pay for everything are self publishers. I wish the contacts for those publisher stated as such. Therefore writers looking for publisher who offer advances and royalities will not waste time with those not…"
Katherine Peebles Finn replied to 2 Moon Press Publishing's discussion 'What do you look for in a publisher?'"I look for a publisher to publish books and to promote the sales of their books without cost to the writer. So many today want to charge the author for promotions and for publishing and that seems to be the way they make their money? I…"

Kay replied to 2 Moon Press Publishing's discussion 'What do you look for in a publisher?'"Thanks for the reply. That is the kind of transparency I look for and exactly for that reason. I see too many getting ripped off. I'm not including your business in those that do so, I hasten to add but what seems to me like obvious…"

scribbler replied to 2 Moon Press Publishing's discussion 'What do you look for in a publisher?'"Marti, that was a very useful post. Thanks for telling us what happened to you.

Marti Melville replied to 2 Moon Press Publishing's discussion 'What do you look for in a publisher?'"My expectations evolve as my experience increases. When I published my first book, I was interested only in getting the story in print (mainly for the benefit of my posterity). The publishing company was able to do that for me, provided…"
2 Moon Press Publishing commented on Authors.com's blog post 'How Important to Book Sales is the Cover?'"As a cover designer myself, I have a rule. I have to talk to the author to gain insight as to what they want, and feel the cover should be. Plus, I read a little of the book, and also read the synopsis that is supplied. The cover is the MOST…"
