InkWater Press

I have a manuscript that was accepted by Inkwater Press which is a self publisher. But I guess you pay for the publishing process; they publish a man from Sesame Street.

I was looking through their contract and I was astonished. I didn't sign because I know what the cost is and I have no authority to say so.

All I can say is that there are some well rounded self publishers out there.

It's my understanding Inkwater is one of them.

For some people, these publishing options work for them.

They come across as a traditional press, not a self-publishing press. However, it depends on their contract. If you have to pay back what they have put out before you receive your royalties, then they are a vanity press. As long as you don't have to put out any money, they are considered traditional. The minute the author has to pay, it becomes vanity or self-publishing. I just wanted to clarify that because it appears you are not clear on that.

Will we see a NEIPT on AW? With the growth of so many "traditional" publishers, the NEPAT is in danger of becoming old hat.

I think DK answered all those threads begun but with no answers, which was a good thing to do, as now most seem to have more than one answer.

This is a good example of how much many of us have learned here, and it just keeps happening.

Things are changing in the book industry.

I look at threads that have interest to me but that I missed when they were fresh. Often, they still have merit for discussion; and the original post was there for our benefit.
