Maybe you will as you were the "named" participant. I got an email from the publisher saying "Contributor discount...." yadayada. It's all good. :) Hey Deryn!

No it's not sour grape. If you wrote a chapter in an edited book there is usually payment and at least a copy of the book. So no, it's not sour grapes, it makes a lot of sense! The book IS lovely by the way! Hi Jen,

I'll contact LK about it. In the past, when I've been a contributor to a book, I've always got a free copy...even though it sometimes takes a while to get it! Also, I have the photos you initially sent me. I'll get them to you. I didn't realize you'd lost everything-ugh! I've got to tell you, again, your assemblage is just incredible. I wish I could see it in person...open the drawer, feel the textures. Hey Jen, I’m pretty sure we do get a comp copy. I’ll contact LK about it.

And again, I appreciate that churning out books isn't a get rich quick scheme. I just feel there has to be a better way for the contributing artists to be remunerated. And I'm thrilled that you're thrilled with your "Jen wall". :D Sue, I think some book publishers provide complimentary copies.

I always assumed contributors got a free book out of the deal, at the very least, I have to say that I'm surprised at that one. Even though a 50% discount is "nice", you get to donate the artwork for publication and then pay to see it in print?? Nothing more to say that hasn't been said already, except that I'm thrilled to be able to sit in my studio, look across the table, and see my "Jen wall", that'll always best a book:) Well, first congrats on being published, and no, what you said didn’t sound like sour grapes at all.

From what I remember there weren't teeth but I could be mistaken, as it's been a year since I've seen the finished piece! Dale, consider it a Public Service Announcement. ;)

I don't think that'd ever happen. (but never say never, right?!?) I just figure there has to be a better way for EVERYONE to come out ahead. Not sure how though.

Congrats on a GREAT collaborative piece!! I got my book yesterday and can't wait to give it more than a quick flip through. It looks like a really good one. Your collaboration with Deryn was super. I will send you some scans from the book so you can see how it looks. So, you don't get a complimentary copy of the book? I thought we would (I guess that is just doable for magazines.) Anyway, I'm finishing up a blog post about the book and will have some pics and a word or two about your piece. I think it's awesome. Hey, Jen. Congrats on a GREAT collaborative piece!!
