Does anyone else detect the odor of troll?
We could argue implication and innuendo all day long. Why not say administrative delays . . . lack of prosecution? What’s wrong with fair and balanced? There could be judicial delays too. I just think that it's important to be professional, precise and report facts. Credibility is an asset and goes much farther in the court of public opinion.
I know who Victoria is. I don't know who you are but I do know you're a brand new member who has only posted in this tread, that you post anonymously and that you have an agenda.
That's hardly professional, now is it?
*ahem* check her sig line.
I can honestly say it's not difficult at all.
Much may be accomplished by actually looking at published books and considering how they look, who wrote them, who their agent is, who published the books, what else they have published and in what libraries and bookstores the books may be found.

These things are the prima facie of publishing, and have been for centuries.
So, really what is wrong with people here? What’s all the paranoia all about? I pose a simple question and C. K. Casner posts ”Does anyone else detect the odor of troll?” and WriterMomto3 posts “I definitely smell something. Hmmm. You have a mighty good nose.” For people like me, wanting to publish a book, wading about seeking advice, being called a troll . . . come on. There’s certainly a balancing test that any prospective author has to go through to evaluate the good and the bad. I’m looking for options, help, alternatives and I’m questioning statements and/or assertions made by known professionals. Is this really how your peers treat each other here?
It's the smell of an agenda, frankly.
Your language is marked in particular ways; ways that were oddly familiar.
Now, I know why. I've read your prose before.
The fact that a state attorney general is suing Fletcher/Writers' Literary Agency is enough to give any writer more than a little concern.
Saving this post for posterity.Medievalist, I'm not anonymous. My name is Nick Caruso. Did your parents really name you "Medievalist" or is that something that you just hide behind? I'm anonymous? Sure, I'm new and working on my book. I came here to look for advice and counsel. Being new to this environment (publishing) it's very confusing and I thought that there were reasonable people here that had good intentions and not hidden agendas.
Huh??? I'm not published. This is totally nuts. Are you serious?
