They seem, from their website to be a genuine enough outfit, who are looking for ideas for books.

Their chosen method of writing is by (they proudly state) teams of thirty year old men working together and 'brainstorming' ideas then writing them jointly and editing.

Their economic strength seems to some from the fact that they have developed considerable leverage in TV and Movie circles in LA, or so their publicists claim, and many of the books have either derived from TV shows or 'inspired' them.

The niggles in my mind arise from the fact that although saying they now want the scripts of crazy writers living in garrets, they offer no idea of commission rates, although they are more forth-coming about film and TV rights which they keep, saying the writer will share in 'the profits'.

But, and of course, 'profit' is a nebulous concept, and in the hands of a good accountant a successful movie can 'make' next to no profits.

I have no doubt this is a very slick operation, but I would be wary. They are so well set up that the chances if an individual having a successful claim against them would be some where between zero and nil.

Preditors and Editors don't have them under publishers, but do have them under agents, where they are not recommended.

Thanks Papa Stas!
I've submitted.

What's the worst that can happen? (Apart form a rejection!)

They steal my story, publish it throughout the world, make it into a film, video game and action figures. Pay me nothing.
I take them to court, prove I was the original writer, they worm out of it and I still get nothing.

But they're not getting the sequel!!
