All resolved!

// August 14th, 2008 // Publishing, Writing

So my publishing drama is now resolved, and without having to threaten anyone with blogosphere exposure, thank goodness!

It turns out that the editor I was working with has now left, but before he left he put my reviews through for publication, without letting me know. Apparently when I said that the pieces were ‘just to give an indication of style’ he thought that meant, ‘go ahead and publish them’.

Hmm….

Still, I got a really lovely apology letter from the publisher, and apparently (although their website looks uber professional) they’re still starting up and don’t often pay contributors.

So what have I learnt? Do my homework! Don’t send out work to any website that looks good. And it’s possible to deal with things in a constructive way without getting upset…

Practical philosophy was amazing last night – I’ll update you on what we learnt soon!
