Comment on Lambert Academic Publishing: A Must to Avoid by John Green

My own Ph.D. has been gathering dust in a university library for over 10 years and I haven’t had a need to have it published. It’s a question of what you want from it. If you have no academic ambitions and aren’t worried about royalties (which are usually miniscule even from an established scholarly press) I would take it a bit more seriously and not dismiss it as an option. Basically, it would be a case of your seeing it in print and you listed as an author. This VDM will do for you, but do NOT expect anything more and be aware that you might be able to get a better deal from the other presses, depending on whether they accept your manuscript or not. That’s about the gist of it.
