Not a writing burn out...worse. A publisher burn out.
In good faith I contracted a book with a new division of an established publisher. Just today, I discovered (via a facebook bulletin, no less) that my so-called publisher had "switched gears" and was no longer going to publish romance,
WTF? My book is no longer listed on the site and I did NOT receive a SINGLE contact from any of the 'players' in the group that they were restructuring.
I'm...........gobsmacked. (Not to mention, mad as hell)
Any and all advice on how to end a contract, get a rights revision etc. would be much appreciated.
Luckily, I've sailed in smooth waters to date. My sales with my other pubs are not in the 'retirement' numbers, but at least all my other pubs have been straight up about publisher goings-on. This just...yeah...I don't even know what to say.
