Best Answer

Legitimate publishers typically do not request money upfront from authors. Traditional publishing models involve the publisher covering the costs of producing and distributing the book, with the author receiving royalties from book sales. Be cautious of publishers that ask for money upfront, as they may be vanity presses or self-publishing companies.

Self-publishers or vanity publishers require you to pay for publishing.

Reputable publishers do not charge authors to publish. But your work must be excellent.

Should publishers international be asking for money?

If a publisher asks for money before they will print and publish your written work, they are classed as vanity publishers. Vanity publishers will often heap praise on your work, no matter how good or bad it is. They are only interested in making money, and unlike genuine publishers, will make little effort to sell your printed book. Some writers will pay and use vanity publishers, selling their books themselves.
