I'm really happy you got your rights back before they ended up as part of a bankruptcy proceeding or the limbo you described.

My audiobook is in process (I've never had an audiobook before either). I won't know about profits/sales for a bit yet, as they pay out quarterly and my work hasn't been for sale with them for a quarter yet. <br /><br />It's true that they're closed for queries for a bit. I appreciate that because it shows they are being realistic about the amount of work they can actually handle and stay on top of things.

I'm glad you got out before they folded.<br /><br />I was with a publisher that closed as well, but they were respectful and treated us well until the very end. There's no excuse for treating authors in the manner you experienced.J.H.
