It's just wild to me that someone spent two and a half years of their life perfecting their book and then...sold away the rights for £2,500. At that point just self publish, or even put it up for free on the internet with a "donate" button next to it. Why devalue your own work to this degree?
- crazygringo 2y agoNot that it changes your overall point, but they didn't. They sold away the rights before they spent the two and a half years writing their book. If they hadn't gotten the advance and therefore the ~guarantee it would get published, they might not have written it in the first place. But they can't choose to self-publish after they finish it, because they chose to sign their contract long before that.
