I expressed an interest in self-publishing with them but then went with the bigger houses for my books, but their representative (X-libris) still calls me. They are certainly persistent. Another company's rep said, yes, they are more aggressive because they have a different pricing structure. They certainly do run a huge ad in the New York Review of Books!

I got a call from them too... but didn't answer since I didn't recognize the number.
I have sent to Xilbris for information before, though, so I don't think it was a cold call. They're a publishing company. I have seen books printed by them and they don't look too bad. Unfortunately, I just don't have the money to self publish. Instead, I switched to Lulu.com for self publishing where it is print on demand and you don't need to put any money up front. Free account. Seems to work a lot better.
I've gotten several phone calls from this number but have never answered it. From the other commentors, I'm not sure why these people are calling ME or how they got my phone number since I've never heard of them. I'm a bit of a writer, but I don't have an interest in self-publishing or have ever said I had an interest in its so whatever. I'll have to answer the next time they call and ask to be taken off their list or something.
They started calling me a week ago and I haven't answered one phone call because I don't know who they are, what they want or how they even have my number. My number isn't even 30 days old yet! I had to do a reverse search because now they call at least twice a day, everyday.
