Be very careful reading the grant of rights clause. The initial cost quote was reasonable, but post-signature upselling was persistent throughout the process. In my experience with Ace Book Publishers, they handled communication poorly and contract clarity was unsatisfactory.

The production quality was decent, but their marketing package was described in unmeasurable terms. After signing, I was asked to pay additional fees for extra promotional tiers. In my experience with Ace Book Publishers, they handled communication poorly and contract clarity was unsatisfactory.
