Have you still got this / could we please see the content? If it wasnāt a mass mailer donāt post it tho in case she doxxes you x
Just looking in my old email, but not sure if I do, I've deleted some of them - lots of excuses, I must have had more emails about this project than actual work! Got one where she blames the delay on people being mean to her on the Kickstarter page because she'd ripped them off... text below
Dear all,
I understand your frustrations that the book has run so late. As I have said in almost every update so far, I was overly ambitious in trying to do it on my own in six months.
My first book took 18 months, and a team of 20 people, and a professional publisher, to get out. I have assigned someone to deal with emails so if you email directly for an update, you will get a response. I oversee this and am satisfied that Victoria handles these queries swiftly and effectively. We made a decision months ago ā after this āwallā descended into a handful of quite unpleasant troublemakers ā not to try to intervene with it, because it impacted on my ability to do the work I needed to complete the book (imagine working in an office where people walked in all day screaming at you how rubbish you are...) and we left you to it. I am sad to see that people who took their refunds months ago are still here stirring the pot. The book is complete. The recipes have been done, triple tested, edited. The illustrations have been scanned in. The printer has been chosen. The envelopes are being written. I have met with my editor and we are excited because it is beautiful and we are proud of it. In our last meeting we emphasised that it absolutely has to be on your doormats by Christmas. I am doing everything I can to make that so. I apologise for my arthritis holding me back, I cannot type as fast or as furiously as I once could. I apologise for being anxious and depressive. I apologise for ill health, my tumultuous life, and for trying to run before I could walk. I thank those of you who have hung in ā 99% of you have stuck this out with me ā and your books are almost ready.
Jack
