Non-editing Presses

Today I ran across a new press (Blue Table Press) that was running a no fee short story contest.  As I was reading their guidelines and FAQ I decided not to link.  This is the third or fourth new ebook press that I've run across this year that expects the writer to hire an editor before submitting their work.  Yep, they don't want to edit your work beyond catching an occasional misspelled word and for that they want half the profits.  If the writer has to hire an editor they might as well go ahead and self-publish the book themselves.  Just my opinion, of course.  Take care, my friends.
