I am brand new to the forum and would like some help...Does anyone know if Eloquent Books is a good, safe, publishing company? I am trying to research it and it seems great, but I don't want to make a mistake with signing a contract with them if they are not even heard of...please advise.

thank you for the information. So I assume this is not the best choice for me...I just hate having to turn down contracts since I am a first time author, I'm afraid I won't get more chances. I've turned down 2 already...Tate Publishing wanted 4 grand to publish and PublishAmerica...which I read all kinds of no no's on. I thought this one might actually be legitimate. It's discouraging.

Hi Jen,

Welcome to the forum! Quite a number of members here had their first book published by PublishAmerica and then secured contracts with small press publishers. Don, Abe and I are all PublishAmerica authors.
