Additional Update to the Pubsnark News.....apparently Forbidden Publications is running a close second to Lovesuck books....yes, this reporter has heard that Forbidden continously moves release dates because they haven't gotten an editor or cover artist for their books! And, when the poor author requests a release, they refuse.
Publishers, publishers.....is this really the reputation you want? That you lasso authors into your snarky little companies and then trap them there forever? Wouldn't you rather have an author say "I was with them, it didn't work, but they might be a good fit for you?"
Really, who would submit to Lovesuck after what that one poor author has gone through? Certainly not the poor author dealing with Forbidden.

Good to know. Writers need this information.
I am a first time author and am trying to get out of my contract for my 1st book at Forbidden. I have had my release dates pushed back, no edits, covers and so many violations to my contract that I am invoking my right to get released before my book is released but Forbidden refuses to release me! I sent a legal letter threatening legal action and still no response twice!!! I am sereiously advocating not signing with this publisher since there is so m any problems!! Many are still waiting their royalty statements and checks from last quater and many promises are made yet nothing shows up! STAY AWAY FROM FORBIDDEN!! I learned my lesson...the hard way!
Thank you for sharing that. You might also contact HiPiers.com and http://absolutewrite.com/forums/. Writers have to help each other. Let's get the word out so others aren't burned.
Thank you very much for the information. I been posting to several differnt places in regards to this and frankly am appalled at everything this publisher has done!
