It's out of my hands

[Rob Wick]

There's no question that budget problems permeate the entire state, and I can understand that whatever the press believes to be the most likely to sell has to be their priority, but your point about the length of time is what really irks me the most. I question whether they read my sample chapters or just the overview and table of contents. I imagine that another priority is to give academics preferential treatment over non-academics since their career advancement depends on getting published.

It will either get published by some press or it will sit in my closet.

Best
