This new program offers the unpublished writer a choice, and the published author an opportunity. Either way, it should be a personal decision, not an economic one. If you want access to national chain stores, you have to abide by their rules, no exception. This program has been designed to follow their rules and unfortunately there is a cost to the writer/author.

This program is identical to what the major publishers are currently offering unproven writers/authors for some of their imprints. The economics of the business require that new authors publish on a shared cost/revenue basis. The marketplace demands it, and publishers are more than willing to abide. These are the rules of the business and the future for all writers, published or not.
