We know publishers can be predators, but there is no excuse for a writer to Eat Stupid for Breakfast, just to get that tiny tidbit of affirmation that says: "Hey! I have publisher. I got a contract. I'm somebody." Those authors don't even see the sign that says DEAD END. I love that after 35 years in publishing you are still cutting out those forked tongues by the roots. Luv You.

They usually offer small advances, but higher royalties. Since my agent died, I have more flexibility in placing my work. Unfortunately, it also take more of my writing time. I'm always willing to share information about contracts via e-mail or FB chat. I'd be interested to know the name of the publisher that got your ire. But privately, please.Paul Dale Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08188578227596785583noreply@blogger.com
