If all fee-charging POD publishers are usually labelled as “vanity presses” by bookstores, why do you put so much emphasis in whether or not they screen manuscripts?
The reason for this is that all POD publishers are for the most part “new” companies, and while none of them has currently a “good name” within the publishing industry, only those that screen manuscripts stand a chance of ever developing some sort of serious recognition (and even then it’s a longshot). Not even a best-seller would ever enable a publisher that does not screen manuscripts to be seen as a serious option within the industry.
