Hellfire Publishing

Hellfire Publishing
Evaluated 24th of October 2011

New small publisher, the bios reveal a complete lack of experience as publishers and the book editing is appalling. Lots of goodwill, but inconsistencies such as offering 40% royalties for sales on website when buyers are redirected to Smashword are worrying. So proceed with care.
