Preditors and Editors

Preditors and Editors is widely held to be a valuable, critical resource for writers, on the look out on our behalf, for those not playing fair. Dave Kuzminski, owner and author of P&E, is being sued for remarks made on the site. In a country which prides itself on freedom of speech, it is sad when that freedom is sought to be squashed by those who can afford to fund a legal battle, when the general consensus is that the truth suffers as a consequence. Whether the editor or the agent or P&E is correct, I am not in a position to know - but the general writing community support seems to be strongly with P&E. Now, would you be wanting to sign up with that agent, even more now, even if she wins her legal case? Shared knowledge is fundamental in publishing, and fairness even more so. Good luck Dave.
