I'm not sure of what you mean by this--could you amplify?
I was given a contract for a book to be published. My manuscript and several "parts" were lost several times. I also had an instance where I submitted a photo that I paid for, from istockphoto for use in the cover - the cover was then given to me with my name spelled wrong and it was elementary looking (not a professional cover, done by Dave I believe) where I have an email that states "I found this and thought it looked great"
??? I gave the photo.
Again, I want to take it as Dave is just super busy - and if you look at "john" this is the kind of "HELP" he has? Oh my.
Anyway, when I was able to cancel the contract (too fearful and not interested in going forward with it) I was given a bill.
I decided not to pay the "bill" because I never was compensated for my public relations work (albeit I didn't see it in use either but I did produce as asked).
I was also asked to proofread and edit other writers work - and I am not a professional editor (I hire those, even though I was a news editor, which is very different than a book editor)
This is what I meant (plus some).
Shane deserves more and Dave deserves more than "John". I think it looks like John here, the big mouth professional spokesperson, may be the link that is weak that needs to go bye-bye.
He must be on the store end as I never heard of him and have many chats with Dave on Yahoo IM and it was never discussed that he had this "helper".
