After looking at their website,

and what they offer, it appears to me that they are a fairly typical self-publishing company.

One that offers more to the client than some and less than others. They do offer some marketing

as well as the actual publishing of the book... many self-publishing companies do not offer any

marketing support.

They are not a traditional publishing company.

I was looking over your website

last night and I did mean to touch on this subject. I do agree with Jayel that they are not a

tradiontal publisher. I would suggest doing a google search on Tate Publishing to see if anyone

else has had a bad experience with the company.

Tate Publishing charges a high cost for

services that can be done for much less. I went to amazon and searched out some of the books and

there was not even a description of the book, if there was a description it was so short that it

would not make me want to purchase the book.

example : Book Description
This book

trains the reader to recognize the symptoms of sexual abuse.


Some books had no

description.

I also noted that none of the books had a review. Save the $3,985.50 that

you have to raise for the initial startup. That is just way to much money to spend and it appears

Tate Publishing does little to market your book. You would do better going the route of another

pod publisher.
