Rebuttal for "We Don't Want Your Stinkin' Self-Published Books"

Here is a rebuttal if you are ever turned down for a review or service because they label you as 'self-published'.   This is written from a publishers viewpoint.


To Whom it May Concern:

Please reconsider labeling our client as a self-published author.  Our clients are NOT self-published.

And what does that even mean anymore? Furthermore, I ask you to define "traditional publishing" in today's marketplace. Just because our name isn't Random House, doesn't mean we are a self-publishing house.  And, by reading the web, do you really think you can determine what underlies the publishing agreement that we have with our client?

If we need to take this further to your management we are happy to do so, but it appears that your set of definitions is outmoded and holding back our mutual interests.

If you have any further questions please feel free to email me. We hope you will review this book based on its subject matter and its author and it's quality and our commitment to it as the publisher.
