From Hats Off Books (bookpublisher.com/Wheatmark) bookpublisher.com • How do you select which books you will publish? "...it is our policy and our desire to publish every book we are able to. We generally apply technical feasibility criteria—rather than our own judgements about content—in choosing what we will publish..." • For what reasons would you reject a book for publication? "We reserve the right to refuse any submitted material for any reason at any time at our sole discretion. In general, however, we will only reject a book if we feel it is technically unfeasible for us, or we are unable to complete the project in an acceptable timeframe due to other commitments. It is our policy to decline publication of any material we deem to promote hate, violence, sexual abuse, or other heinous activity, and any material we deem to be pornographic or repulsive." • Isn't on-demand just another version of the old self-publishing paradigm? MrB note: They don't actually answer this question in a "yes/no" sense. But given the word count, whatever they said must surely mean something. • How can you speak of quality when you publish the work of any author who can pay your fee? Do you ever reject any manuscript for poor content or presentation? "Traditional publishing houses reject up to 99% of manuscripts offered to them, including some by well-known authors. Acceptance for publication often has more to do with potential profits than content quality." Yes, it is very clear that real publishing companies continue to underappreciate the quality of Pugs' literary skills. Such a fine piece of work as "In Good Faith" will certainly not be overlooked by this company. For a fee. How's the Quality/Profits trade-off go again? • I don't understand the royalty payments. Do I pay to have the book published, and then I only get 20 percent of the sales proceeds? Nice!
