I haven't, and it looks like they're very new. Perhaps you should contact the folks at Preditors & Editors (http://www.anotherealm.com/prededitors/) and see what they think.

Well, they're obviously not a "professional" publisher.

All but one of the emails they have are with gmail, and they have a myspace account. They consider an "epic novel" to be over 80,000 words, when the standard length is 90k-120k, I think. And submissions are only by email, when most people want you to send a hard copy.

As melydia said, it's very new, too. No books are currently released, and only two are coming soon.

Also note that they don't pay advances - meaning the only money you'll receive is when someone buys your book, and since it's such a small ebook/PoD company, that might be very rare.

I guess the one advantage it has over self-publishing is you get a free ISBN number with them. And if you don't know how yourself, it's nice that they design the book for you.
