Publishing is ugly. There is cheating. It is too bad when a writer has to engage a lawyer's services in order to get paid. But that is what happened to me. Most of it is just clumsiness.
Publishers make horrendous misake that cost everybody.
Presumably, none of this applies to TOR , which is highly reputed. The questioner promises a national campaign. The fans don't have to do anything. I have to find a publisher who wants it. I have to pay for my daughter's college.
