On behalf of gatekeepers everywhere, I demand a retraction! Why, this new imprint will ruin us! It will destroy our livelihoods, not to mention keep us from cackling evilly to ourselves as we think fondly of all the genius writers who we’re preventing from getting published!

I’m going to call all my gatekeeper friends and we’ll go on strike. That’ll show you! So there!

Janet, for a mere 50% above our base prices you can get a cool 33% discount. But don’t spread it around, ok?

Psst., Jane, as soon as we line up a few more suckers we’ll send you a check for $15K for the first Harlequin, I mean Small Beer, Horizons title.

Pat, since the exchange rate is basically $1 = 1 pound, just look at those prices as equivalents. We do have a Professional Rate where, if you’ve been published before, we charge you even more just to rub it in.

Squash is nice. Squashed dreams are not nice! We are all about the nice. And the cold hard cash. Which is, of course, why we are in publishing.
