List of Professionals Endorsing the Dorchester Boycott
Last week, in a series of emails, myself and several other Dorchester-Leisure authors floated the idea of calling for a boycott of the company due to the reasons detailed here. Yesterday, four of us took the chance. We asked our readers and peers to join the cause. We weren't sure who, if anyone, would respond. Twenty-four hours later, in addition to the thousands of fans and readers who have pledged to join the boycott, what follows is a list of professionals in the field — from across all spectrum of genres — who have also pledged their support. There are also a number of professionals who have pledged their support behind the scenes, but can't add their name to the public list for various reasons. In short, thanks. And that thanks isn't just from me. It's from every author who has been screwed over by this company. Today, we are not horror writers or fans. We are not western writers or fans. We are not romance writers or fans. We are, as Robert Swartwood said yesterday, a community.
Note: This list is NOT complete. Every time we update, we get a dozen more names. If you do not see your name here, please be patient.
