Publish America Journalism Strikes Again
Another entry for WJPA files (Writers who hate Journalists who love Publish America). And this one is particularly egregious right from the title.
“Cape author bracing for release of her first novel; Publish America to place in stores“ — Websites, maybe. Stores, nope.
“Started in 2005, Adams said that she worked “ferociously” on it for a couple of month … After a conversation with a friend, she eventually finished the entire novel in one day.” I may sound picky here but you ‘entire’ means… entire. If some of the novel was already written she can’t write the entire book in one day. Which is just as well; even ‘On the Road’ took three weeks.
“The fate of her publishing career might not be so dour, as the new author has several new manuscripts she is working on, all in various stages of completion.”Also an issue of ‘little bit’ pregnancy.
Giving your book to Publish America is many things, but a first step in your publishing career is not one of them.
