Vanity Niche Publication

To answer some questions that were sent to me: Xartistsbooks is NOT a self-publishing company meaning anyone can publish with them and the authors have to pay to get the book published. If they were a self-publishing company, it would clearly be stated as such and they would show package deal and they would publish every one. Amazon CreateSpace is an example of a self-publishing platform. Xartistsbooks is set up as a traditional and snobby publisher that picks and chooses "quality products" to publish and they are the one that pays to get the book printed like other traditional publishing company. Xartistsbooks needs the resource to print those books and need to do what it takes to sell the books that are sitting in their inventory. The question is how many books do they have in their inventory? How many books have they sold? The fact that the Artist's Prison only has one review on Amazon speaks volume on the number of books sold or anyone caring enough to write a review. And mostly, the women who were out there buying that book in the initial wave were there to get Keanu Reeves' signature. They post about it on their IG account about meeting him and getting his signature and was excited about it but their excitement has nothing to do with the actual book.
