on Jane Friedman site:
“It takes them weeks to get back to me.”
“I have no idea where my book is published.”
“Royalties? What royalties? I haven’t seen a penny come my way and it’s been over a year.”
“The cover is fine, I guess. I didn’t have much control over the final product.”
“I wish I had talked to you months ago.”
These are just a few of the comments I’ve heard from authors sharing their experiences with the hybrid publishing companies they’ve chosen to work with. Sadly, I’ve noticed that these conversations have become more frequent in recent years. So if you’re an author starting out on your publishing journey, it’s important to know what to look out for.
In this article, I draw upon the experiences of the many authors I’ve worked with to present common red flags to watch out for.

A useful post, Chris. Also, ALLI have a post which is accessible by non ALLI members which lists most of the publishers out there with their own assessment.
