"OOH THEY'RE AN INDIE PUBLISHER" Mthrfkr do you know what PRH, HarperCollins, Hachette, Macmillan, and Simon & Schuster—all of whom I've published multiple translations with—have never taken from me? MY TRANSLATOR COPYRIGHT.

I notice he doesn’t address the copyright theft issue!

@shreedaisy.bsky.social

And the no translator names on the cover issue.

PRH has a policy of taking copyright in at least one imprint 🥲 I'm with you on Europa, though. Been hearing (quietly) how bad they are for years, but somehow that quote was still shocking to me 😮‍💨

100% - I’m not the only translator who refuses their crappy contracts either.
