Mainstream Publishing EXPOSED With Penguin Random House Pushing AWFUL MATERIAL Through Libraries

Penguin Random House published a self-serving memoire by the doctor who caused all those problems a few years ago (vague and understated language to evade comment flaggers). They published Prince Harry's Waaagh. They issued censored editions of Roald Dahl's classic kids' books and only backtracked when Queen Camilla proudly read the originals aloud at a charity event. All the publishers release outrageous material, but Penguin Random House is the worst offender. They're the Disney of the literary world.

The long term effect of libraries wasting our money by purchasing nonsensical garbage is.... the people will eventually get fed up with libraries doing all this wasteful spending..... maybe the libraries will be abolished as a result..... the problem is that society will lose a valuable resource for the public. We'll have unintended consequences one way or the other.

As a Christian author who wants to write SF, Fantasy, Horror.. I would really like to know how you market your books independently. Obviously, the channel helps a great deal, but is there any advice that you could give?

[@liljenborg2517]

Especially because Christian publishers are A) owned by the Big Four and are currently dealing with pressure from above to play along with the sexual immorality agenda, but especially B) Cristian publishers won’t touch sci-fi or fantasy with a thirty-nine-and-a-half-foot pole. The closest Christian publishers will get to Sci-if is Left Behind. And these days, they won’t even look at Narnia wannabes, because if there is any magic in the book at all, they fear the “Harry Potter is Satanic” crowd who have this allergy to anything remotely imaginative. The closest they will get to fantasy is This Present Darkness (and only then if your name is Peretti and he’s retired).

[@7slavok]

I'd like to know too. In Brandon Sanderson's Writing Excuses podcast, they would often talk about the business side of writing, with publishing and marketing and stuff. Maybe you could make a video about your experiences breaking into the market?

[@Sealwithwificonnection]

I don't want to sound like a pessimist but these are my two cents from what I've seen from indie authors (as someone who also wants to independently publish something of my own). I really thinks it comes down to two things, both not mutually exclusive: marketing budget and sheer talent/resonance with an audience. A good marketing budget could potentially make a nice pipeline of taking a good story and selling it to somebody who doesn't know you. On the other hand, I think making a really , really, good book will spread naturally by word of mouth if it only sells like 30, for example. From what I can tell, obviously a combination of those two things could make a story really stand out. Piranesi is an example for me where I discovered it through word of mouth despite it winning an award. And it's a pretty damn good book. I think the best we can do is maybe support each other in the indie space and the works that are genuinely good, we promote them amongst other SF/F fans.

[@MarkWatneyWasHere]

Adding my voice to this. How does one even get an audience when self-publishing? Obviously, having a marketing budget would be idea, but isn't realistic to the average joe, and hoping that your work is good enough to have a domino effect through word of mouth isn't exactly consistent

[@richmountain1128]

You can even post them for free on sites like AO3, which is mostly fanfiction but also supports original content too.

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

WOW! These "people" with the nonsensical pronouns stuff are somehow "experts" in children's psychology or whatever. C'mon people! How long do we have to put up with all this nonsense not being investigated at the very least? (investigations are not enough)

[@GloriousRAT]

Hello again Jon. My agent turned down a $3 Million offer from Simon & Schuster because it would have required us to relinquish all future rights to my books. Now I'm wondering what they would have done with my creations. My agent, Albert T Longden signed me because of the enormous multi-media potential beyond just the books. I actually spent decades building a game world for TSR. But since WotC bought D&D and ruined it that plan evaporated. Just to reiterate I am a straight, white, religious male with a traditional publishing contract.

[@mirceazaharia2094]

They haven't given you an ultimatum yet? Go Woke or Get Lost? Also, maybe don't namedrop your agent, he might not appreciate it.

[@zxyatiywariii8]

Good you didn't sell them the rights. George Lucas has said he regrets selling Star Wars to Disney, especially his own plans for the sequels, which he'd outlined in 1976 when he was filming A New Hope. Disney shelved them, and wrote their own sequels, and now probably no one will ever get to see the original ideas.

[@jkseraphim4]

I use to struggle just to get a literary agent for my books. I only self-published because I wasn't getting any help. It was super hard, especially financial because I couldn't get work to pay for tools and book cover, and isbn etc, it's still hard now even with working a job because I have to get my basic needs.😢 I just need more of an audience on my writers channel.

[@karlsingh9076]

This is depressing how far Penguin Random Publishing House has fallen. Seriously, I used to read a lot of their books back in the day. I had one of their old editions of their dictionary-Random House Webster's Dictionary: Fourth Edition, Revised and Updated

7:20 This manga is actually published by Seven Seas, they publish a massive amount of BL manga, they also publish a lot of manga I buy. But all this BL manga is actually read by Fugoshi, these are single women who love reading stories about gay male relationships. When I first heard that I was kind of shocked, I thought it would have been gay men who read these stories. Because the opposite is not the case, there’s no large male readership of Yuri manga, which is female relationships.

[@Cowboycomando54]

At least Asian BL and Yuri publishers don't try to hide what they are actually buying and selling, unlike here in the west. Plus they are definitely not marketed or intended for children.

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

@ No, each manga comes with an age rating, it’s very clear on Seven Seas manga, “Teen”, “Older Teen”, “Older Teen 16+”, “Older Teen 17+” and then “Mature” is the highest rating. And yes everything is in clear genre, this is BL and marketed that way, you’re not going to find this content in a mainstream Shonen, but that’s exactly what American comics does, they shove everything into the same line of comics. And this is why manga is successful & comics aren’t.

[@Cowboycomando54]

@@InfamyOrDeath-__- That is literally what I said.

To be fair, yaoi (boy-boy love) and yuri (girl-girl love) has been a fetish in Japanese manga for years, but thanks to the current political environment its popularity has skyrocketed here in the West. In the East its still considered fairly niche. Just remember folks, the lesson here is to VOTE WITH YOUR WALLET. Buy what you’re interested in.

[@RealCaptainAwesome]

This is definitely something I have noticed in other series as well. One of the series I follow is about a Merry Band of Pirates from earth that were thrust into an alien war that has lasted for tens of thousands of years. And starting in about book 8, every book has made mention of a never before seen character and their 🌈 relationship having some sort of problem. It is quickly solved and said characters are never referenced again. But I'm sure that is just a coincidence.
