Publish free product on EnWorld?

[Natai]

I am currently preparing to publish a cross-genre RPG. I intend to make it available in both softcover and hardcover, as well as PDF. However, I am planning to release the PDF for free. Is it possible to create a publisher account with EnWorld and release the free PDF through the GameStore in addition to my site? I don't wish to charge for the PDF version, but I would like to get the exposure (and hopefully some reviews) offered by having it available on EnWorld.
Also, would anyone be interested in doing a pre-review of the product before launch? This would certainly help me ensure I release a quality ptoduct.
Thanks

You can create a publisher account and use it to release free product if you wish (although the publisher account itself costs you).

For reviews, details of how to contact reviewers are in the FAQ, and also on the "Contact" page linked to at the bottom of every page.

I thought the system doesn't allow for reviews of free products.

I'd been pondering putting togeather some of my stuff in a PDF just because. How much does a publisher account cost? (Goes to do research)

Can't you get a free publisher account and simply not gain any revenue until you've made $100 in profit (potentially never if you're releasing free product, I guess)? I thought that option was available at the ENGS.

$99 last I checked. I'd be happy to work with anyone that would want to get their stuff published through me.

You can, but only if you're able to pay that off through sales - and with a free product you won't be able to do that. We still end up having to provide the same service whether you charge for it or not, y'see.

You can give away free stuff on the messageboards. Or, if promotion is your goal, you can always buy ad space!

$47.50, I think. Certainly round about that amount at the moment.

Hey! I'm 4 months behind on my rent, y'know!

According to my 'Paid Subscriptions' page, it is one million dollars. I was going to start a WTF thread about it, but I thought since it was mentioned here I'd post in this thread instead.

$99 seems a lot more reasonable, so why the inflated figure? Anyone know?

It's under $50, not $99, and is purchased through the GameStore itself, not via the subscription page. That million dollar thing is an old experiment which I need to delete (it was set at a million to make sure nobody used it).

Here's the GameStore publisher account. It's $47.50:

And here's the general info page for publishers:

Note that publisher accounts are usually $99, but they are currently on sale at the lower price.
