Most likely.
It is seamly and convenient; but also very expensive convenience.
And that is if they get *chosen* by the publisher.
Dealing with a contemporary publishing house looks to be an education unto itself.
And a bit like russian roulette in reverse; there *are* small publishing houses that treat their authors fairly and with respect but they are few and far between. Few name names but even fewer recommend the houses they've death with.
