Quote:Hmmm, that's disappointing. Australian publishers? Have they even read your work?
Yes my work has been read. Routledge Australia pasted it on, and some three months later I received a reply from Routledge France saying how exciting and momumental the work is but then they declined to publish as it does not align with their marketing strategies for the coming years. Same story with Oxford publishing.
Other publishers have been sent a book proposal. I'm still waiting to here from some of these. One other publisher wanted a publishing date set at three years after I finished the writing.
About another half a dozen publishers who have only received the book proposal have declined to publish. I don't think many of these believe what is written in the book proposal. Oh well, it will come back to haunt them one day.
