fun stuff from the bottom feeders of publishing

WARNING TO WOULD-BE WRITERS: If the public information about the publishing house contains egregious grammatical errors (Welcome to Undead Press, we are a zombie/ horror publisher, as well as apocalyptic fiction.), think twice. If they won't edit their own PR blurbs, what makes you think they'll competently edit your story?

Bonus at that link, a rundown of the current blogosphere wank about Harlequin; "while the industry standard royalty rate for mass market paperback sales is 8% for US retail, Harlequin pays its series authors only 6%."

The post above this one is SPAM but it's interesting, so I won't report it. It may even give me a plot bunny.

HEY! I just got one!

ETA: Somebody must have blown the whistle, and the post has been deleted. At least I still have the plot unny.

Funny about their name being CalgaryAsianEscorts and their server being in the US, but if they had ever traveled through Alberta they'd know Calgary has three seasons --- Autumn, Winter, Spring and Road Repair.

We say that about Chicago too and we like to add "sometimes all in the same day."
