A Business Matter
Some of you may remember this post, back in August, about a mythology & legends project I'd written for that was, um, not timely with either publication or payment.
Publication occured, I know this because they sent me the books (after several rounds on the phone).
Payment, due on publication, has not yet arrived.
Tomorrow morning I will be on the phone with the publisher once again, countersigned contract on the desk in front of me, inquiring as to the status of said payment. Until that payment arrives, they will hear from me on a regular basis, both via the phone and registered mail.
If anyone else out there who contributed has a) not gotten a copy of the book and/or b) not gotten their paycheck, please contact me off-journal. Likewise, if you HAVE gotten paid, please let me know.
Production and publication delays are an unfortunate but understandable part of the business. Stiffing contractors is NOT.
Meanwhile, my entire workspace is covered with post-its. Seriously. Desk, monitor, media case.... the cats have fled otherwise they would be likewise... (actually, no. Post-its, unlike bacon, do not stick to cat-fur)
