Boycott: the developing Dorchester situation

Over the past 18 months there have been rumours within the publishing industry that all was not well with Dorchester/Leisure Publishing. Reports emerged that the SFWA among other groups had put them on probabtionary status pending review or improvement and a few days ago Brian Keene announced that after the situation deteriorated further he and other Dorchester authors were calling for a boycott.

As a freelance editor and proofreader (and recently published indie author) I'm well aware of how difficult it can be to make a living in this industry at the best of times. When your publishing house - an entity you should be able to trust completely - starts deceiving you and denying you access to funds that are rightfully yours that's even worse. I support this boycott wholeheartedly.

The three key tenets of Keane's boycott are as follows:

If you follow Dorchester on twitter, unfollow them.
If you are a fan on Facebook, unlike.
Don't buy their products, no matter how good a deal they seem to be.

Spread the word and help achieve justice for Brian Keene and countless other authors. You can read more about Brian's actions on his blog.
