Hey, you guys ever hear of Xlibris? I've got an offer from them to publish my book, but I'm getting some shady vibes from some of the reviews I've read about them. Any thoughts?

First I hear of them, and from what I just researched you better stay far away from them.
Selfpublishing.com gave that company 1.5 out of 5 stars in their review of them, so not too sure about that, chief.
Hm. Yeah, doesn’t seem like a smart choice. And the review I looked over mentioned its parent company Author Solutions is terrible as well. Perhaps keep an eye out for other companies that also reside under that umbrella. :/
Never heard of them. Doesn't sound entirely legit though, I'd stay well away if I were you.
Sounds super sketch I recommend going to a bookstore and asking you the book stores about Publishers or the library and ask the Librarians there for advice or even better go to your local University or college and see if they have legit publishers and reviewers. Good luck on all that you're going to need it.
Don't trust em, don't talk to em, don't give em shit. If you're gonna print something, go top down on the pecking order. That way, you weed out the shitty top dogs, while at the same time going down the line to find a balance of credibility and affordability. Does that make sense, or did I lose you?
5730102 No, I hear you loud and clear. Already got some bad vibes from them, just thought I'd check with other people to make sure I wasn't making a mistake by backing out.

Sweet. Here's hoping you find someone that isn't all "sketch city" soon.
Never heard of them and if the reviews are sketchy, don't risk it
Never heard of it. See what cost of self publishing is and read the contract carefully. Maybe with a lawyer.
Maybe get their offer in writing to use as possible leverage with another publisher down the road, but yea they seem sketchy as all hell.
Yeah, nah. They're a scam.

Even if the contract is technically fine, never trust a company with a bad reputation because they'll just ignore the contract. Fighting to enforce a contract is expensive and time consuming.
Wow, you rewrote your story and are now publishing it? Glad to see you still kicking around, and apparently thriving
Unfortunately the only publishers I know aside from Amazon is ministryofimage.net which sells hard copies of pony fiction, Lulu.com which I bought other pony fiction off of, and baen publishing which I read off once. Although Lulu updated their private policy a long while ago to remove fanfiction.
