The relationship between a writer and a publisher in Egypt has turned into a textbook definition of abusive relationships!
I am not out to attack paperback books ... I am not undermining their importance ... I am just trying to put an end to this farce-in-disguise.
When we feel desperate and option-less we compromise.
I decided to set an example of "the other options" that writers are not aware of .... who the hell needs a useless publisher who serves as nothing but a lousy print shop when another door opens ... I am paving the way hoping that more people will follow.
Publishers have no business if writers say NO but writers are scared ... just like an abused woman!

MORE TO COME .. I AM JUST WARMING UP!!
