Just updated theFreedom Road Publishing website to reflect April's accomplishments. Tweaked the book cost calculator. Added more info for prospective authors, like a 100% satisfaction guaranteed page, and a cool page that shows how I designed a cover from a painting hanging on the wall of an author...

This article is about, in effect, Vanity Presses. It brings to mind the sad but prophetic joke about the doctor;lawyer;actor;athlete who says: "When I retire I am going to start writing books." Because - anyone can do it. So, if young people are led to believe that they are producing material of...
