The publishing industry is a joke. They so much money, much more than they pay authors. Plus licensing to Amazon and book distributors. They are raking in cash. It’s an elitist, insular environment.
If Hillary Clinton made a million dollars from her book, the publisher made a lot more. But if you are a commodity (like Clinton) you’ll get a huge advance. If a book doesn’t sell, authors usually have to pay back the difference from the advance....unless you are a commodity.
It’s rare for unknown authors to get an advance these days. Your profit comes in the form of royalties.
Regnery Josh, Regnery.
You’re a threat to the 1st Amendments, ya bastards.
FU Simon and Shuster
Maybe he can find another publisher.
You are correct. And they will be in court in PUBLIC.
I had to look it up (Carly Simon). Horrible. I kept reading, hoping it’d get better. Some redeeming aspect to her. It got worse with every paragraph. Typical lefty hypocrite, Clinton fan, Trump basher, etc.
Not recommending anyone read it, just for the record, that’s what I read. Ick factor: 90+.
Simon and Schuster have a dream. They want to emulate the CCP and censor and cancel everything they hate. Now that Joe Biden is President elect they may attempt to send Josh Hawley to a re-education camp.
This is happening not only to Josh Hawley, but also Terrence K. Williams who has been a staunch voice for Donald Trump as he blasted the left for their insanity.
From his parler account:

This is absolutely disgusting. Book stores are now turning me away. They don’t want my book on their shelves because I’m a Trump Supporter and what happened at the Capitol
My book “From The Foster House To The White House is about the American Dream” but because I met Trump my story of survival don’t matter and can’t be at the book store.
YOU CAN GET THE BOOK DIRECTLY FROM ME! Link in BIO
Someone please take Hawley aside, sit him down, and explain that the First Amendment protects our right of free speech from the government, and not from businesses who have the right to print or not print whatever they want?
Mr. Hawley should publish it privately. Sidney Powell did exactly that with her book.
RE: Sidney Powell did exactly that with her book.
And how well did her book sell?
