Dreamspinner Press: Something Isn’t Right Here #followup #dsp #authorbeware
Note: This is a follow up to my earlier post about Dreamspinner Press. You can read that post here. Two days ago, right on cue 30 days after the end of the quarter, I received my latest statement from Dreamspinner Press. Not that I really should have expected one. My...Word Count Roundup: July
