My best friend wrote a children's book, she is a hobby writer. It is about a rat who plays the clarinet and broke his reed. Very entertaining to the music geeks in the world, and young aspiring music geeks as well ;)
She sent in around to publishers and amazingly got an offer the first week. The place marketed themselves as a publishing house, but were however subsidy publishers. They wanted her to pay to make her book instead of the other way around.
Found an article explaining the difference between self publishing and subsidy publishing as it is called.

I guess this would be a road for someone who really has a message they want to put out there? Or maybe just another internet scam to make money?
Hmmm... to be decided on that one
