IS VMI A “VANITY” PUBLISHER?
VMI is not a vanity publisher. But sometimes we are accused of being one because, as stated above, we do require the author to participate financially in the initial print run by purchasing books at discount. That makes us different from some of the other full-service publishers who may not have this requirement. But we do this because we are dedicated to NEW authors, and we require that they share the risk. Read more about the unique differences in question #3 above.
