Everything happens for a reason, indeed. And sometimes that reason is that there are bad people out there.
Protect yourself, not them.

I really have to wonder why he tacked that onto the end of his post.
Canadian Writer,I am proud to be a Cacoethes writer, the company has been kind to me and they've fulfilled all their responsibilities. Furthermore, I had a lawyer look over my contract and he told me that the contract is standard for the industry ...
Why wouldn't you simply contact the publisher directly and talk to them about your concerns? Is your book done? Is it ready to go out? Have you started promoting your material? Are you nervous based on personal experience, or simply because of hearsay?
Anon,.. they are in the process now of filing legal action against 2 of the authors who have made the poor judgment of making slanderous statements against them.

Instead of fishing around for information from potential bitter authors who are simply slandering the company, or who were rejected and have not gotten over it, why wouldn't you simply contact the publisher directly and talk to them about your concerns?

I happen to have a lot of information about that company, which is a fairly new firm, and the majority of the negative press they receive is unfounded.

As for the clause regarding disparagement, they are in the process now of filing legal action against 2 of the authors who have made the poor judgment of making slanderous statements against them.

do you love being a writer? Does it make you happy? I think all this talk of clauses and non-disparagement is fine, but good writers with real talent and passion will rise to the top regardless of things like this.

We pay royalties dependent on contract sales minus distribution costs for those sales that originate from various distribution channels we utilize.
This is a royalty paying publisher. Otherwise, I would not have signed with them. My book will be in print within one month of ebook availability.

Canadian writer:
It's not so much that I have faith in my publisher: it's that I have faith in myself. I have a master plan, and I don't mind starting small.
They do indeed publish actual books, and their authors do signings at Borders and all that.
