As some of you know, I started a small press a few months ago. I just finished the third edition of Emerald Tales and I'm working on the third. I'll be adding links to the contributors websites and blogs to my website and blog. Here's the situation: One of my contributors published his book through PA. His website about his book has a link to PA. There is no way that I am going to put a link up to his website when his book is published through PA, not after everything that I have read about them here.
I know if I tell him flat out that he will not take it well, AT ALL. I can see him lashing out at the messenger, as he got a bit snippy with my editing of his run on sentences.
The sad part is that he is a really good writer and has the potential to write a book that someone would want to publish, but he doesn't take kindly to suggestions.
I have no fear that he will come across this thread and read it, because if he was a member of AW, he wouldn't be running around telling everyone he's published with PA.
So, what would you do if you found yourself in this situation?
