She stated repetitively that she tried to keep the ebook up, but was pressured to remove it.

Please give her some slack. I never heard of her before, but I will certainly have a look at the book when it's released next year. |
So what I get from this is that she had a choice in the matter. It was either capitulate to the ridiculous wishes of a publisher or stand up and do what she thought was right? How am I supposed to respect this, or the writer who makes a decision to bow down before an editor or a publisher? What, because some jerkoff editor is living in the past and forcing a writer to do something ridiculous we should all just let these actions pass?
She saw the green and turned her back on those who put her in the position to see the green in the first place. Another cowardly writer too afraid to stand up to the bully machine that is trad publishing. When did writers become such spineless little weaklings? No wonder the publishing industry is on its arse when all you've got is bullies running the show and the cowards who obey them.
