Insult to injury

Mr Szondy gets down to the day's work.

As a freelance writer I'm always scrambling for work. While doing so, I've often come across publishers who offer rates that I can only assume were meant as a gag, but nothing I've seen tops Black Matrix Publishing for offering so little that you'd expect them to crawl in the window and steal the manuscript instead.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
