It's all a bit alarming but I am quite cross TBH. The situation is that publisher A 'commissioned' me to write a book, which I did. Initially, publisher A was making all sorts of encouraging noises bout the new imprint etc, but they haven't done much with the other titles they put out (or rather, sneaked out as ebooks without even letting the authors know so they could promote themselves). Though the book has been written and copy-edited and they have designed a cover for it, I still haven't had a contract and nothing has been signed.
Publisher B has commissioned another book from me, and Publisher B is lovely, enthusiastic, organised etc. So I was having a whine to B about how tiresome A is being, and Publisher B would actually be quite happy to have the book given that A doesn't seem to give a flying fuck.
So AIBU to tell A to fuck off, I'm taking my toys home and not playing with them any more? Or should I do a 'more in sorrow than in anger' email and see if they offer me more sweeties?
