Anyone know anything about Aquillrelle Publishers?
I've had a look at their website and they 'seem' to be legitimate, but there's something that strikes me as amateurish... though I'm not sure what it is!
I came across them while looking at writing comps - they have a free to enter poetry contest where they will publish a book of the winner's poetry (though they seem to publish all sorts). However, it looks as though these will be published online, too (not good?), and, Iooking at some of the books they have published, they all seem to be for sale on Lulu (isn't that a type of sp affair?).

Can't actually see what the comp winners get out of this other than the opportunity to buy a book with their poem in it.
Quote from the page BB posted the link to.
I take it to mean that whatever rubbish you send them they'll print it.
*reaches for bargepole*
Organizes and hosts poetry and story contests, to be published online, in a contest anthology and magazine.
the website domain was first registered in 2009 and expires on June 2015, the have 23 websites that link to them. they do not generate enough info for statistics to show how much traffic they get. In fact when I posted before about helping you find info on websites, Aquillrelle get less traffic than Liz's site and no that's not a joke.
the web domain is registered to a joseph faybish, from the city of grimbergen,in BE
they do have a Amazon page
