Quick Updates for 2009-11-22
- @redrobinreader @melissablue13 We're aware of Thomas Nelson, but they've never been on our qualifying publishers list and wouldn't qualify. in reply to redrobinreader #
- @melissablue13 It's a mix of Writer Beware, volunteers and members. We have a contracts committee that reviews for industry standards. in reply to melissablue13 #
- @redrobinreader "Them?" being Thomas Nelson? Correct, if "disqualified" in this context means they were on our list and then removed. in reply to redrobinreader #
- @redrobinreader The way qualification works is that an applicant requests that we add a market. We research. Meet standards? They get added. in reply to redrobinreader #
- @redrobinreader If they don't meet standards, they get added to this list. http://is.gd/51euD Usually, that's how it goes. in reply to redrobinreader #
- @redrobinreader Happy to help. That's why I have the stalker search set for "SFWA." in reply to redrobinreader #
