"I don't know how to contact them, Mary, but the affiliate program is separate from selling books on Amazon. You will get paid for sales, but not for referrals.
And if California follows New York City's lead a few years ago, they will…"

Amazon and California
I have been an Amazon Associate and just put my novel But This Is Different for sale on Kindle only to get a letter from Amazon that all Associates in California are terminated because of the new California tax law. I'm trying to find out from Amazon if this effects Kindle sales and I just keep getting back automated responses with links to fight the new law. Does anyone know anymore about this or how to directly contact someone at Amazon? See More

"Thanks for getting back to me. Much appreciated."
Zetta Brown replied to the discussion 'Simultaneous Submissions' in the group Small Publishers and Independent Authors
"Mary,
You have my sympathies. I absolutely HATE simultaneous submissions because they are a waste of time and resources. We make it clear in our submission guidelines that we do not want them. In fact, I wrote a blog post on my She Writes blog a…"

Judith Marshall replied to the discussion 'Simultaneous Submissions' in the group Small Publishers and Independent Authors
"Unfortunately, there's no law against multiple submissions. Many writers (like myself) query a number of agents and/or publishers at a time. If we waited for an agent or publisher to get back to us before moving on, it could take…"

"Guilty of bending over backwards way too far as far as the contract goes. My only saving grace in that area is that the contract held the stipulation that once the manuscript was received and reviewed if it did not meet the criteria of the…"

"Thanks. As a writer myself I know how difficult it is to way for a response and I try to never do that."
Jean C. Joachim replied to the discussion 'Simultaneous Submissions' in the group Small Publishers and Independent Authors
"I would be leery of a publisher who did that. What if they didn't like something I did or said? Would they be putting it up on some site, making our disagreement public? I would worry and if I had a choice between publishers, I would stay away…"
Kelley Harrell replied to the discussion 'Simultaneous Submissions' in the group Small Publishers and Independent Authors
"I agree not to trash him publicly. What I read about agents and publishers are warnings, which I am grateful for. Every now and then is the ego-based rant, but for the most part it's a simple warning.
~Kelley ~ Soul Intent Arts ~…"
Jean C. Joachim replied to the discussion 'Simultaneous Submissions' in the group Small Publishers and Independent Authors
"I agree with Kelly except for one thing. I wouldn't post anything about him. People are trashing others all over the Net and, frankly, it makes the trasher look as bad as the trashee (if that's a word.) Would I submit to a publisher who…"

Kelley Harrell replied to the discussion 'Simultaneous Submissions' in the group Small Publishers and Independent Authors
"Wow, that's ugly. As Jean said, this goes beyond simultaneous submissions. You allowed an author to demand a contract on a manuscript that wasn't completed? I assume his query must have been stellar, but still. He was…"

Meg Waite Clayton said… - Mary, I just opened the door to the novelist group for you - welcome! You might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion if you're not too uncomfortable talking about what you're working on. And we do a live chat every Wednesday; hope you can join us for that!
