I may sound harsh in this article but I receive SO MANY emails from authors who have left their common sense at the door, and are about to step knee-deep in a big pile of you-know-what.

We were contacted by yet another author who wanted to ask about a specific “publisher” (and, I do use that term very loosely). I have received past complaints about this firm spamming authors. She said they called her out of the blue (telemarketing), and offered to REPUBLISH her book for the low, low price of (gulp!) $7000!!
