What
is Vanity Publishing? What is a Vanity
Publisher?
A
vanity publisher is:
"any
company which charges a client to publish a book;
or offers to include short stories, poems or other
literary or artistic material in an anthology
and then invites those included in it to buy a
copy of that anthology."
(British Advertising Standards Authority Advice
Note, Vanity Publishing, July 1997)
However,
many such companies prefer to use other terms, which
you may find misleading, such as:
- Joint
venture publishing
- Co-Operative
publishing
- Subsidy
publishing
- Shared
responsibility publishing
- (incorrectly)
self-publishing
