will know that I am no fan of Big Publisher. I’ve been there and done that and 2000% prefer the self-published route. Now watch them carefully: you must sign your life away that AI has not touched your MS. Meanwhile they happily use AI to sort the slush pile; do social media; proof read; create the book cover; correspond with you; optimise pricing; write contacts; make decisions on when ‘our relationship is terminated’.

You have been warned.
