Good find Chris.
I liked that post so much that I’m now following the New London Writers Blog.

Thank you for sharing your story. I self published and it is good to read other authors problems.

Thanks for this one. I jumped over to finish reading and was appalled. Below is a copy of the comment left on that blog.

WOW! If the work in traditional publishing houses is shoddy, no wonder their industry is dying. Until I read this post, I was aware only of their marketing policies – 6 months, then remaindered, despite little to no help from them building an audience.

Since my books are informational and my market is relatively vertical, I was thinking that the admin provided by taking the traditional route would be well worth the revenue hit — but now I think I would be wise to rethink that entirely.

I wish people WOULD name these houses that do shoddy work. Surely it doesn’t matter that they won’t want to work with you again if this is how they do things – or don’t, as it seems from this post. As long as what is being said is factual, they don’t have a legal leg to stand on, so can’t really go after the author in court.

Bad things continue to happen when good people remain silent and accountability is missing as a result.
