The recent email that I received from PA regarding Barnes & Noble getting an award is so insulting.
PA is giving an award to a company that has treated its authors like dirt, like second or third class citizens.Barnes and NoblePA has NO respect for PA or PA authors. None. What the heck are the powers that be at PA thinking? Do they honestly think that by sucking up toB&NPA that this one-sided relationship will change?
"Certificate of Author Support." What? PA certainly can't be referring toB&NPA support of PA authors. How dare they speak on behalf of the authors who have been turned down with disdain byB&NPA for book signings, talks, events etc.?
If I don't get a phone call from someone at PA with a darn brilliant explanation for this wrong-headed "award," I'm going to make it my mission to gather an army of PA authors who have been treated like crap byB&NPA and make one, very public fuss.
Certainly there are many other PA authors that are equally displeased with this recent announcement.
Edited for clarity's sake.
