Simon & Schuster has launched a self-publishing operation, Archway Publishing, contracting one of the most disreputable players in the business to run the show: Author Solutions.
We'll get to that distasteful link-up in a second, but first let's have a look at what Simon & Schuster are offering prospective customers (i.e. writers).
Fiction packages start at $1,999 and go up to $14,999.

R U kiddink me! $1.9k to $15k? For one of my books I went with SBPRA (Strategic Books) @ $995 before I learned how to do it all myself on CreateSpace. At least they were up front and did a great job. S&S – what a ripoff!

I agree, it’s an outrageous amount to charge for what they’re doing! There are many qualified people out there (myself included) who can format an ebook just as well as they can for a lot less! But hey, if you’re willing to pay me a thousand dollars to do it . . .
