@zacharyashford.bsky.socialThe latest Hedone bullshit is exactly the reason orgs like the HWA *should* exist - to let people know about toxic, fraudulent practices in the publishing industry Writers shouldn't be expected to assume every publisher is a potential embezzler. The onus to investigate should not be on them 🧵
Show PostRetailers, please for the love of all that is holy, please stop putting stickers on the actual album covers. That's what the cellophane wrapper is for. Thanks, fuckers!
Show PostCaitin Marceau is up to her usual scamming, I'm afraid. I was there when she did the EXACT same bullshit at DarkLit. Avoid Hedone Books and anything else affiliated with Marceau like the plague.
Show PostI totally understand what you mean. It sounds like Hedone took advantage of BIPOC authors in this anthology for sure. I also want to tell you that Hedone did the same thing to a bunch of us a few years ago when she drove DarkLit to the ground & didn't pay royalties.
