Okay, so how many people have read this?

I thought about responding to her diatribe with some rational questions and comments, but I think she’s too far into self-pub madness for that. There’s obviously a lot more to this story than she’s putting forth – frankly, as soon as I read her statement about being ‘coerced’ to sign this really horrible contract ($20k as part of her advance?) I knew what court she was playing in. And it offers yet another haven for those who want to paint the Big 6 publishers as evil demons because they A) haven’t gotten through the door yet or B) didn’t get everything their own way. And she has a ‘heavy-weight’ supporter, which only adds fuel to her fire.
I read things like this and can only shake my head. One-sided, much? Self-publishing is trying very hard to make itself ‘legit’ – people like this certainly don’t help.
