Wrote an official complaint to my publisher (top 2 in the world) and simply asked why, when launching a new book, my royalty statement says zero spent on promotion. I told them that I was upset at my first email being ignored, and told them that I’m just a nurse, but I would never treat even the unpleasant and difficult patients the way they’ve treated me, and I always try hard to be respectful and give the best care. My complaint has now reached the top level, ie executive types right at the pinnacle of the publishing pyramid. Will be very interesting to see what happens. I’ve probably burnt my bridges, but at least I’ll get an answer. Maybe they will give me my rights back. I mean, how is it possible to launch a new book, with on promotion? This makes no sense whatsoever.
