Faint Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I emailed them for my part even though I am not too enthusiastic about two or three dozen emails making much of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Richard II Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Maybe the book is so mind blowing that everytime someone tries to read it to edit it their heads literally explode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.H. Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Chances are good that the people who first receive any of our messages, tweets, or whatevers, would probably not have any idea who or what we are even talking about. I think we just need to keep buzzing them, so eventually those people might actually tell someone who can make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hello World Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I emailed them for my part even though I am not too enthusiastic about two or three dozen emails making much of a difference. Yeah, I’m worried that this is going to backfire in the sense that Overlook will look at this and say “so Bakker asks his readers to email us about TUC and we receive some 7-12 emails and a few tweets? This guy really has no readers after all...” eta: Also, I think Bakker has some readers here (possibly many...) who don’t necessarily keep up with this thread. So if you really wanted to push this you might want to start a new thread. Just saying. Someone started that thread and I think it was deleted so scratch that.

Larry of the Lake Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Bakker should team up with Stanek, Stanek's horde of sockpuppets will swarm Overlooks emailbox like a ten yoke legion of sranc across the Istyuli plains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Richard II Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Yeah I didn't even catch the thread, but I dont see why it would go against the ToS or rules, unless it was worded poorly? Or had personal info in it? well I didn't get a chance to read it so I dunno. It's late and I'm ranting. Maybe try asking a mod in pm, they don't like it when this stuff comes up in threads. Wait...

Michael Seswatha Jordan Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Why did the mods delete that thread?I never seen that thread, tbh. Why don't you start one with all of the emails, twitter handles and such. I can't see why it would be locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Richard II Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Make sure it's not a call to harass people. That would be a big no no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope no one's been dumb enough to send a hate filled rant, email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red snow Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 hmm, that last thread got deleted meaning I don't have the answer to my query and now I'm concerned if I ask it again, this thread would be deleted. Bakker would be proud of this dilemna. If I were to send a polite email to a publisher is it better to send it to the one based in my home country (whom I'd be buying the book from) or to the US publisher. Or both? I could see how the US publisher could care less if they don't have distribution rights for my part of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't quote me on that, but I believe that was said earlier. So yea, email Overlook or Orbit or both. I don't see what could hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the UK publisher technically can't do anything till the US publisher has moved, the UK publisher could theoretically put pressure on their US partner.
