That's why I urged authors to please ask a lot of questions first.

This is good advice, y'all. I also heard back from 8 of their authors now. A couple saw my messages here and emailed me. None is happy. As for Kimmi here, good luck, dear. I really hope they do all they say. The authors I spoke to had horror stories like review copies not going out on time (or ever), bullying from the publisher in their group emails, too many broken promises, royalty checks that are months late, too much promotion of the publisher's books and other stuff. This is just the stuff they've told me. One told me he knows of at least 20 unhappy authors at Kunati. Considering the many sources I've heard from there has to be some truth in all this. Priceless is right. Ask questions. I did exactly that when I was interested and I can't believe what I've heard.
