Setting Things Straight: WCPT is NOT a Vanity Publisher!

Once upon a time, Whiskey Creek Press USED TO charge authors who wanted to exercise their option to put their books in PRINT ( NOT to PUBLISH their books.) It was NEVER a requirement for publishing in e-format.

That "option" was dropped as of January, 2008. That's a year and a half ago, folks. Their contract now states that if the ebook sells a certain specified minimum number AND if the book is a minimum number of words (aka: short stories will not go to print due to size vs costs, only novellas and novels), then the book goes to print AT NO CHARGE TO THE AUTHOR.

So please do not think of WCP/T as being a vanity press. Not anymore. Not in a LONG time. That argument is long dead and gone.

Thank you.

Always Check Your Child's Homework

(This is what was turned in. )


(Here's the reply the teacher received the following day)

Dear Mrs. Jones,

I wish to clarify that I am not now, nor have I ever been, an exotic dancer.

I work at Home Depot and I told my daughter how hectic it was last week before the blizzard hit. I told her we sold out every single shovel we had, and then I found one more in the back room, and that several people were fighting over who would get it. Her picture doesn't show me dancing around a pole. It's supposed to depict me selling the last snow shovel we had at Home Depot.

From now on I will remember to check her homework more thoroughly before she turns it in.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Smith
