I don't think the tantrum will be detrimental to her prospects. What will be detrimental is her inability to take criticism, especially considering that her writing has objective flaws like poor grammar and word usage. As an author she should constantly trying to improve her writing, but this rant indicates that she believes she is beyond reproach.

The attitude of many authors, especially self-published ones, reminds me of American Idol auditions. Someone comes in, sings terribly, is told that she is terrible, she tells the judges that they don't know what they are talking about, that they'll regret this decision, and then she storms off, screaming to the camera that she will be famous someday. In a way she ends up right about the fame, just not for the reasons she thought they would be.
