Wildheart Books:
Thanks for all the visits.
It's amazing how a little controversy can stir things up.
My Adsense account is looking great today!
According to the counter, the total number of hits is 995. I'm betting a large number of those are people from here on AW checking out the train wreck.
Key points remain that it's a publisher with no experience, no capital behind it, no distribution and apparently no idea on how to deal with legitimate questions and complaints.

Totally OT, but bull pucky, Ms. Jane. Your blog is widely quoted because you offer honest information that educates authors about publishing. <dragging back on topic> Perhaps Wildheart would do well to read it in order to learn how the industry really works.To put that in perspective, my blog got about 500 hits yesterday and about 1200 the day before. And it's not a very well-known blog.

Just how many red flags can one "publisher" raise?

Yanno, I just can't grok this "venture" comes from someone who's been a member for three years. Talk about the horse ignoring the trough!Clueless doesn't even begin to describe them.

current pro rates, right? If you got a pro contract you could expect $25,000, not their current rate, but what they'd be expected to compete with.Current rates are around $usd 25000. Until I hear otherwise I can only assume low cash and willingness to screw new writers.
