Ye...@Dan McFadden - sinus shark...that was funny!!<br /><br />Yes, glad to have you back! This writer definitely has a voice, and the sense of humor to take them a long way, and hopefully, this time, without any publishing drama. If she can weather all that...wow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-85528324024573624172014-06-03T11:09:14.225-04:002014-06-03T11:09:14.225-04:00I personally wouldn't mention my past and let ...I personally wouldn't mention my past and let my work speak for itself. It's evident that the author's writing is good enough to have had his/her work interest agents and publishers in the past and will in the future. If I were an agent/editor/publisher and I was aware of the author's kiss of death touch, I would be more than wary taking on this person as a client. But, hey, that's just superstitious me.<br /> <br />(Glad to see you're back in the swim of things!)

Then I reflected. I’ve published two books geared to law students (one book out of print and one in its fourth edition). Because of the dramatic changes in law book publishing, it seems every edition is published by a different company (sometimes there are two publishers listed on the cover); and I’ve had a different contact person on every edition. Luckily, these are major companies in the field taken over by other major companies in the field; and the marketing and distribution networks remain in place.
