I need advice from a vetern writer. This publishing company is asking me to pay money ($4000) upfront to secure their publicist. The contract states that if I have my own Publicist the cost of publishing book will not cost anything upfront. I still don't feel right about this. I know the book is publising material. Is this normal practice for a publishing company. I just don't want to lose sight of what my goals for the book are. My heart is completely into writing, but I'm afraid I am going to be disappointed. Also, I can't afford $4000 down. Please respond.
Welcome to my blog. Kick off your shoes and unwind. I am new at this, but learning quickly. Would love to hear about the books, articles, or essays you have written. How did you break into the "business?" Is there hope for those of use who haven't tapped that market?

This is one reason I did a Kickstarter project. Something just doesn't seem right about this.
