Well done! What’s the thing, if you don’t mind my asking?
Ah well, nothing now, apparently. Was revised version of TIOU that publisher requested. But they’ve replied saying they’ve closed their list.
Hey ho. Would have been nice if they’d told me.
Back in the bin I go.
Oh FFS! That is utterly shitty and so unprofessional! Surely if they requested it you bypass their closed list status? My agent had closed her lists when I sent her the thing she’d requested a year earlier and she still took it. That is RUBBISH and I am furious on your behalf.
Do they know it’s the thing they requested? I mean it wasn’t just a standard response?
No, they know. I replied to their last email saying ‘don’t worry if it takes a few months. We’re not going anywhere.’…
Well that sucks massively. What a shabby performance
That is utter crap! Seriously unfair.
Seriously unprofessional too, imo
Agree 100%
I would say unbelievable, but – sadly – I can believe it. It is truly appalling behaviour that wouldn’t be tolerated in most professions. It is no surprise that so many people, good writers, are turning to self-pub. I’m so sorry, Raine. Can you name the guilty? Quite understand if you don’t want to.
