Apart from the two scenarios above however, in my opinion it doesn't make sense to work with a subsidy /
vanity outfit because they charge large fees for services you can do yourself for
free or much less expense (e.g., copyright registration, $ 35 to do online yourself, $ 200 or more for a
vanity / subsidy publisher to do for you), typically bundle services into packages that include
items you don't need or don't want to pay for, and they also require you to use their editors, cover designers, etc..
