So y'all know...

...I have no issues with pointing out typos, especially in the Velveteen stuff, which is quite long, but maybe you could also, you know, acknowledge liking the thing (assuming you did)? Otherwise it gets a little pointed and aggressive-feeling, and decreases the odds of getting another story.

This. SO MUCH.

I have gotten long, emailed screeds from readers about my zombie series with Permuted Press, where they just totally tear apart the book(s) (often getting numerous plot points and characterizations utterly wrong), castigate me for minor errors, and go on and on about typos and things that THEY would have done in the book. Nowhere in those emails do they say whether or not they like the book.

Ugh.

I am so sorry.
