All About School - The Complete Education Forum and Classifieds

I’m preparing my first book and researching a book publishing service, but I’m unsure what deserves the most attention. How should I compare editing, formatting, distribution, royalties, contract terms, and author support? I’d rather learn from real experiences than sales claims. What questions helped you make a confident decision, and what unexpected issues should new authors watch for? Serious and honest suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
