Kevin, the wording at the link doesn't make sense grammatically

Wastrel | 53 comments Yeah, but it's also got spelling mistakes - including being unable to spell the name of his own company - and punctuation mistakes, and is probably in an inappropriate register for its purpose. So maybe the grammatical mistakes are intentional, and are meant to go along with the bad spelling, bad punctuation and bad choice of writing style to create a general "want a publisher who doesn't know anything about language and doesn't give a shit about creating an appealing product? Give us a call!"

I'm not sure why exactly any publisher would want to do that, but then it's equally hard to comprehend why any would-be publisher would be accidentally widely publicising a marketing spiel that they hadn't even bothered to proofread, so...
