Also, there's totally bestiality in it and it weirded me out, especially since Amazon makes a big deal out of blocking that poo poo so I did not expect that scene when it came.

You say that, but...

Their excuse was that they're only a small publisher so they couldn't really do the book justice. I have a terrible memory so this might not be accurate, but I think he did the cover and the promotion himself.

They've been helpful in trying to introduce him to bigger agents and publishers, but it does seem like they've basically just printed and edited it and let him do the rest.

Yeah, while I generally feel differently about publishers that actually have distribution networks and whatnot, the more I look at small publishers the more I realize there's nothing they offer that I wouldn't get from self publishing.

That, I think, is the real tragedy of publishing in general these days. The big publishers are gonna get through this just fine-- there will be necessary changes in how they do things, but they're going to be fine. It's the little guys, small presses, the individually-owned ones that are going to collapse as they become entirely redundant.

KDP and Author Central are different things though.

Being a non-porn short story collection is what will hurt you. If they are related stories, you would do better to do the connecting you need to make them chapters instead. Even if they're long, titled chapters.
