Re: How good is PublishAmerica?

I published my first book through them and I agree with what's been said. It's not a scam - they do print your book for free and I have to say it is good quality. I had to pay for separate professional editing though as I was worried about using their rather basic editing functions. They also did little or no promotion, which I was expecting, so I had to do 100% of the marketing and promoting myself. Their books ARE overpriced - that is my biggest bugbear with them. That's how they make their money.

Over all, I think I'd agree that the best bet is if you have to go down one of these routes, it would be better to go down a reputable self publishing route - then you know what you're getting for your money.
