    Looks like they charge the authors who want to be published and just publish them. This is wrong. Literature should be the privilege of a small elite of talented people, not just for anyone willing to pay. Besides, this lowers the orthographical, grammatical and stylistical standards of the written language.

    At a second glance: sorry, they seem to sell the texts online to the readers after all. Nevertheless, it’s the “no editing” part that concerns me. They make it cheap by overlooking some very essential elements of publishing.

    Hi Zabvenie. Sorry for the long response delay.
    It’s possible they pu some democracy into the publishing sector. Though, I think reading teams in publishing companies make sometimes mistakes, as they filter things through the same commercial patterns. It’s interesting to see what the crowd can let surface. Maybe it won’t work. But the trial is worth it…
