Heads up[edit]

According to this non-reliable source Harlequin has started a vanity press division and because of this its status as a recognized publisher in the Romance Writers of America has been revoked. No reliable sources yet but once they turn up something about this should probably be added to the article. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:51, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've found more sources, including official statements (or copies of official statements) from three different major writing associations as well as the new imprint's own web site. I think that's enough to add it now. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:04, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm surprised this hasn't been picked up by mainstream news outlets yet. This is a pretty big deal. Karanacs (talk) 16:25, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good find on the Publishers Weekly source, by the way. I think the SFWA RWA and MWA primary sources, despite being self-published, were ok to use because of the significance of those associations in their fields, but it's always better to use reliable secondary sources. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:18, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, and I wouldn't have removed your text/sources unless there was an alternative. I found articles on this in French and German as well... I suspect there will be more in English soon. That was a great catch you made, finding this so soon after it started to explode. Karanacs (talk) 17:22, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lawsuit[edit]

http://www.harlequinlawsuit.com/ Someone may wish to add something about the lawsuit - allegedly, Harlequin is selling eBook rights its own subsidiary at a ridiculous discount, so authors get a share of what Harlequin receives (12 cents per ebook) while the Harlequin fully-owned subsidiary pockets the bulk of the profit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.246.78.180 (talk) 01:51, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That web site is not a reliable source on this issue, but I think Quill & Quire may be [1]. (Found via a much briefer subscription-only article in the Winnipeg Free Press, [2]). —David Eppstein (talk) 02:23, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"In 2012, a class action lawsuit was filed" - Ten years later and no more information. What happened to the lawsuit? Kdammers (talk) 20:07, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
