I am sick and tired of book editors being blamed when books go south. Welcome back to the Chats and Chapters Podcast and to the most impromptu episode I have ever done. I had my videos planned for the week to promote the Revision Roadmap Program through this week, TWO SPOTS ARE STILL AVAILABLE! But— This episode seems more important with the recent news of Shy Girl being pulled from publication due to AI allegations. I hope you enjoy my rant! Let me know if you agree or disagree with me, and if you know what I am missing!
