I agree with everything and would like to add that whatever feeds the muse, calms the beast, and can be lit with matches on an altar is worth the dough.

If you have to pay the publisher, it's not a real publisher it's a vanity press. They charge to format and dump your books on the same services you can self-publish on for free (KDP, Draft2Digital, IngramSpark). KDP & D2D will even format for free (D2D goes a step further and lets you download the file to take elsewhere). Some self-published writers swear by formatting software, but I haven't found that I needed to buy any.
