The story of Kiana Davenport and her cancelled contract is raging around the interwebs.
Many bloggers are gleefully feasting on the story as yet more evidence that Traditional Publishing is Evil.
Personally, I think it's dangerous to make any assumptions until we know the whole story (which I doubt we ever will).
There does seem to be a lot of in fighting amongst writers these days, with a split along the lines of "e-publishing is our saviour/traditional publishers are evil" and "indie authors are deluded/produce crap".
Me? I'm staying out of it!

Oooh Kiana Davenport does seem to have had a rough ride with her publishers (whose editor took the trouble to ring her and yell at her Really? Oh dear!). And yes the other side of this story remains silent. Double oh dear.
Well who said getting publishing was ever straightforward especially in these days of self and e publishing?? I'm sure there are plenty horror stories from these too!
Hugs to Phoebe! Take care
