(Annals of an Editor, #79)
Typically the entries in Annals of an Editor are drawn from my correspondence with authors hoping to work with my small press. This time around, I would like to share an exchange that took place on Facebook.
An academic acquaintance of mine is the editor of a book being released this week. I saw an announcement about the release, and commented, giving him the email address for our New England Review of Books. My thinking it would be useful for the publisher to have yet another contact for potential reviews coverage. Well, things got a little tense, if not quite outwardly antagonistic.
