How to ... search the Internet for "publishers" that won't cost too much?

From the Hays (Kansas) Daily News:


The first book, "Honor with a Vengeance," was published in 2006, eight years after Sullivan finished writing it.

"It took four months (to write), but I wasn't getting any support from anybody," he said. After searching the Internet for publishers that weren't going to wipe out his bank account, Sullivan settled on PublishAmerica.

After a lackluster experience with the company, he saved up $700 to have his second book published by AuthorHouse.


This (1) is quite sad and (2) suggests that Poe's Law doesn't just apply to fundamentalists.
