Forgotten Again
Dramatic title aside, it's disappointing to be left off the credits for a book on which I've worked. It's happened to me twice -- once two years ago, and again in the last six months. In both cases these omissions were clearly not intentional, but they present a couple of major issues for me.
First of all, there's the emotional issue of feeling forgotten, left out. This is an issue I personally have problems with, so it's something with which I need to come to terms. Second, and more importantly, it means that this is a book I can't use on my resume -- at least until it's fixed in some fashion to give me proper credit. My worst fear is that, when applying for writing work elsewhere, the publisher or developer will look at that book, see my name is not on the credits page, and assume I'm lying about my involvement to pad my list of credits.
