Beware of Author Mills

[Virtual Bison]

A few years back I successfully published a work of fiction. Since no agent would touch my work, I self published and used a Print-On-Demand service. Now this is different from a "Publish-on-demand" service which is altogether different.

But there are some real scams out there besides. This last category is known as "Author Mills." These are business outfits which are long on promises but very short on results.

If anyone is interested in the business of self publishing, print-on-demand, Vanity Presses or those dreded "Author Mills" then see the link below:

Incidently, anyone else publish anything? Tell me about your experience.
