Business model
Business model
The company operates what it calls a 'hybrid' publishing model, offering 'non-contributory', or traditional publishing contracts, and some 'partnership agreement' contracts, in which the author pays a part of the publication cost. According to Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFFWA), the publisher is a vanity press which as of 2019 typically required fees of £1,275 to £7,700 from writers. In 2019, the Writer Beware blog (sponsored by SFFWA) reported that Austin Macauley was the vanity publisher which was the subject of "most reports and questions", noting that the vast majority of deals involve the authors paying the company to have their book published. It was also discussed in a report by the Writers Guild of Great Britain and the Society of Authors, in which it was criticised for a lack of transparency regarding the cost to authors of publishing with the company.
