Hey!.

I was wondering if this was still open to submissions? On the Angelic Knight website it is still listed under ‘Open Sub’ Projects, but it says here the 15th of May?

Thanks

I’m a recovering non-wordaholic who struggled with BPS for several years. Thank you, William. Thank you for acknowledging this paralytic malady and for giving us non-wordaholics hope.

This was a fun cover to work on, and the synopsis sounds awesome. Can’t wait to read it. Thanks for the plug, Tim!

Comment on Beware Damnation Books by Tim Marquitz

There’s no doubt they’ve done some good, especially early. There was a true interest in putting out good books. Sadly, that gave way to the numbers game and allowed it to become an issue of ego. It’s no longer about the books but the ability to claim they’re successful at publishing, Kim being able to lord her position over authors who don’t agree with her. It isn’t about the money; that’s not why those termination fees are in there.

It is very frustrating, but there are fantastic publishers out there. I am published with Damnation, and I also have issues with them. Although I would not recommend DB to anyone, they did put two of my books into print when no one else would look at me because I was nobody. I’m still grateful for this despite the hardship I’ve endured.

Because of DB, I’ve met awesome innovative authors like Tim Marquitz, Edward M. Erdalac, D. Robert Grixti, and Jeremy Kline, I’ve met a couple great illustrators and one good editor. (Editing on my second book, not the first.) As upset as I am with the bullshit, DB did put two of my books into print. Critic have generally liked my work and as a result of being published with DB, other publishers are now interested in what I’m doing.

So I agree with Tim, don’t let other people ruin your dreams. Writing is a hard gig. Art is a hard gig. Good luck.

Don’t let stuff like this discourage you. There are plenty of awesome publishers out there who will treat you with respect and honor their relationships and contracts. There’s always going to be assholes screwing things up, but the good in the system makes up for it. If you want to write and be published, live your dream.
