OK so bear with.
Not at all venomous, but my current publisher has gone into liquidation anfd is restructuring.
They want to keep as many of their authors as possible, obviously, but...
PROs:
I have a mainstream publishing contract and that can act as a lever for accessing certain privileges
They handle distribution etc
They have a wider reach than I do
They're promising to return energised, thrusting, etc
CONs
They haven't paid my first royalties yet (due next month)
I hated their cover art and marketing, and so did a lot of my readers
Not as much control over finished products
I really fundamentally disagreed with a lot of their sales pitches (eg listing it the wrong category on Kindle)
Has anybody been in a similar situation?
