Has anyone submitted poetry to Stebor Publishing? This publisher claims to be compiling a poetry book, printing it, peddling it, and if it sells will pay each author 80% of profits?

I just looked at their website. They look legit, in that they are keen to sell books and have lots of information on where you can buy their books (including S&S, Barnes & Noble and Amazon). Most tellingly, they are not accepting submissions right now. Obviously not vanity publishers.

They are very legit, I just done a backround check on them and they have been going since 2009 as a ltd company. They earn over $100k p.a so they are OK to deal with, I have visited their website and it looks OK, I think by what I have read they charge you to buy the book with your poem in but do not make a profit (yet) I think this is like a publicity stunt and after they have tens of thousands of poets they can charge what they like

My only comment, is the 80 percent,

They can not pay each author 80 percent of the total profit, unless you are the only author of the book, since two authors in a book would be 160 percent.

So most likely it divides 80 percent of the profit between all for the authors.

I was picked for their poetry book. I bought a copy never received it. I never received any answers back from emails and this was a year ago.
