SBG - Strategic Book Group is not a "real" publisher. They are a glorified "self" publishing company.
I didn't have to pay up front, but the fees they charge, plus not helping with marketing is where they really get you. Everything for a price and then they are so slow.
With my contract, there wasn't an option for "returnable" books. Seems that is an extra service that costs $99.00 and a $200.00 deposit. HA, are you kidding me.
Well, I've been on my phone trying to book some book stores for my Fall Book Tour. I actually got a Barnes & Noble store to call me back and inquire about my book. Well as soon as they heard who it was published with, they decline. UGH....
Now I really have to get this new story going so that I can poll these Literary Agents again to try and get a REAL book deal with a REAL publisher.
Just beware of the sub-publishing companies.
