Hey everyone, I'm Darren, and I write horror!! Well, mostly..lol
A few writer friends of mine told me to come here to see if I could get some help/advice on a very serious issue I'm having with a publisher.
I signed a contract to get my collection of short stories published with a company almost two years ago, and since then there has been barely and contact with the publisher and when there is it's nothing but false promises.
Six weeks ago I sent an email asking to cancel my contract. After two follow up emails, two facebook posts to her wall, an instant facebook message to her, and I also got someone to pass a message on to her mobile phone, I still have heard nothing from her.
She has me trapped on a 72 month reversion of rights contact (stupidly I didn't see it when I signed) and with her ignoring Everyone who tries to make contact with her I cannot see anyway in which I can get free of this hell she's put me in.
There has been no activity from the press in over a year and she is ignoring everyone and everything to do with the press.
The last email I recieved from her was on the 5th March!!
I had a look around the forums and to be honest I don't even know which thread to post this plea for help in. Is there any way in which any of you could help/give me advice on what to do?
I'm at a loss, and I would be extremely grateful to anyone who could help me.
Thank you for reading this,
