Vanity Publishing/Publishers
According to the Council of BBBs, vanity publishing differs from conventional publishing in that the vanity book publisher requires the author to underwrite either a partial or the total amount of the cost of publishing and promoting the book.
Persons who deal with vanity publishers should recognize that their book may have little or no commercial possibilities, especially if their manuscripts have already been rejected by a number of the better-known publishing houses. Such authors should realistically expect no more than the self-satisfaction that any author would derive from seeing his book in print.
Biographical directories are patterned after the "Who's Who" publications. Various publishers solicit the biographies of persons for inclusion in directories, which may bear prestigious sounding titles. The solicitation is typically accompanied by a request for a "membership fee" or for an order of one or more copies of the projected directory.

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this business, please let the business know that you contacted BBB for a BBB Business Profile.
As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation.
