Thursday's Tip
6 years ago
Today's tip is about something really annoying to me. It's fair, but annoying.
When your publisher tells you that you need to do something (or in this case not do something) you do need to it. Most places give you a lot of creative leeway, but unless you're talking about moral issues (which I could write a whole other post about), you're being paid to do what's asked of you, just like any other job.
So if, hypothetically, your publisher sent you the final version of the cover for your book AND gave a set release date for the same book, and then tells you to keep it secret, you can't say anything about it. Can't post a pic of that beautiful cover by
GoldenDruid You can't say anything abut how excited you are that your novel will be released on <redacted>. You just have to sit and wait for the publisher to get all his <redacted> ducks i a row.

I hate waiting.
