Hachette has at long last sent me the reversion for the last book they were clinging to because they could. There is something wrong with a business model that makes creators swear never to do business with you again. It’s not that they were making money from me.
@cjewel I empathize with your frustration and amazement, having done business with them (and Simon & Schuster) for audiobook licensing. In my experience, there’s been years of fear-driven bad decision-making, due to the industry downturn.
Lots of deck chair rearranging going on as the ship sinks.
