Self-publishing, unfortunately, has created thousands of books that no one ever reads. Hundreds of thousands of them. Tens of thousands of self-pubbed authors of books that no one ever reads come to the conclusion that maybe self-publishing wasn't the right route for them. So, they query on those self-published books, and at Musa I'll occasionally take a chance on a few of them. Unfortunately, some of those self-published authors then take exception to an integral part of the publishing process--namely EDITING--and act like imbeciles because they think that the editor will eventually give up and just publish the book the way it was self-published. They think that the editorial staff is stupid enough to believe that despite the fact that they created, formatted, and uploaded a book through the self-publishing process (not easy), I'm going to believe that they are computer illiterate enough to not be able to 'understand' or 'work' the few little things they have to do at Musa.
Unfortunately for them, that's not the case. And when a writer tries that with one of my editors while I'm off work, I pull the editor from the book and inform the author that I will now take over the editing of their book--after I get back to work and whenever I can fit it into my schedule, which necessitates, naturally, the pulling of said book from the release schedule until all these matters can be addressed.
*shrug* Passive-aggressive assholishness with a member of my staff has very definite repercussions.
