Criticism of author fees and contract transparency
Writer Beware described Austin Macauley as a vanity publisher, reported typical author fees of £1,275 to £7,700, and said most reported deals involved authors paying for publication. A Writers Guild of Great Britain and Society of Authors report also criticized a lack of transparency concerning publication costs. These are external criticisms of the business model and do not demonstrate that every contract was identical.
