Hi friends,
Have run into a brick wall on this one ans was wondering on the following: Have written how to books. Turned these in as a submission to a well known outfit out of Boston Mass. Have been taken on a merry-go-round by one of the (acquiring editors), "idiot" to say the least. Besides the regular legal chanels, is there an association that may intervene on behalf of writers? Sort of writers to publisher complaints. Thank, Don |

I'm not sure if this is "the regular legal channels" or not, but there's a group in Boston called "Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts" that often helps artists, musicians, and authors with legal disputes on a reduced fee or pro bono basis. http://www.artsandbusinesscouncil.org/pr......rts.html
However, not all disputes qualify. If you provide a few more details, I could say a bit more. Not details like naming names, but stuff like, "our contract said X, then the publisher did not X." To be sure, it's possible that the publisher is within its right to be idiotic... I don't want to get your hopes up just yet. |

Publish yourself.

As a writer myself I might have an insight - but from your post I have no idea what way the publisher has messed you around. If they are just sitting on the fence and not doing the deal there is probably nothing you can do. Or have they done the deal and are not honouring it? More you can do there.
