About

Publishing deals are too expensive to stay confusing.

PublisherCheck is an independent research site operated by PB Visual Services. It exists to make paid publishing offers easier to compare before an author signs.

What we do

We collect public deal terms from publishers and publishing-service companies, normalize the language, link to the source and mark information we could not verify. We focus on cost, royalty basis, rights, distribution, selection and contract transparency.

What we do not do

We do not promise publishing outcomes, provide legal advice, or treat a high royalty percentage as proof of a good deal. We also do not accept a company's own marketing description as the only way to classify a publishing path.

Why the site looks different from a review blog

PublisherCheck is designed around deal sheets, publisher profiles and calculators rather than volume publishing. Fewer, better-maintained profiles are more useful than hundreds of thin “best publisher” articles.
