Another option for avoiding the screening process or criteria of traditional, relatively selective academic publishing houses is to turn to publishers who are less picky or who use different criteria. Obviously, these publications will carry little brand-name prestige, and expecting high quality line and copy editing could well be unrealistic.But you have to pay for them anyway with Gece Academy.
Gece's email suffers from the absence of such editing, and its Park Avenue address apparently comes from Regus, a virtual office supplier used by many of the publishers whose emails appear in this blog. Gece Publishing House also publishes papers from conferences -- with payment up front from the authors.

When I was a graduate student (at the time, Hamurabbi was on the throne), all of us who finished our dissertations were required to publish them with University Microfilms as a prerequisite for conferral of degree. I resented this because I felt it diminished my chances of turning my dissertation into a published book, but ran into a stone wall on this issue. I suspect that nowadays many instutions require their doctorandi and doctorandae to make their dissertations available on ProQuest (which will make a profit from the publication and doubless share nary a red cent with the author). So don't kid yourself that publishing with ProQuest is necessarily a matter of personal choice.
