Not sure who approached you, but I've also been approached by a couple
of companies in this space and they are essentially scams / not
serious publishers. For example, they apparently offer only about 16%
royalty to the author, and do essentially no vetting or quality
control. The fact that they decided on a title and only then go
looking for authors via cold calling and referrals ought to be a
warning sign....
Not that I'm disagreeing with you but the particular publishers are
legit, meaning they are indeed technical book publishers (not
text-books); they 've got a proper website and many titles published
already. Of course, you saying that they offer 16% royalty to the author
makes me suspicious as that is exactly the percentage I was
offered...therefore, I can only conclude that you've been approached by
the same people... I cannot express any opinions about vetting or
quality control as I didn't go forward with this for the reasons
mentioned earlier.
