there's no place in publishing for this kind of censorship

In a free rational country, a privately owned company can publish whatever it wants and refuse to publish whatever it wants. That is one of the advantages of private property. The owner of private property gets to decide the use and disposal of the property. It is the government that uses force to censor. And a conservative publishing company should not be forced to publish libtard trash.

Deeply offended! Where can I get this and which one should I start with first?

I did my own Captain America story on a blog. I know they would not have excepted it at Marvel. Buncha dumbass libs.

Thank you for your service.

Publishers, like, those dinosaur agencies in NYC, where they’ll give you maybe 10-15% royalties, and retain all the rights to your works, just so they can be placed in the remaining brick-and-mortar bookstores?

That is so 20th century. Who the hell needs that crap? As if it’s some amazing technical feat today to create a PDF file, upload files to Kindle etc. Seriously?

Self-publishing for 70% royalties, full control, retention of all rights, and a MUCH faster turnaround from completion to publication is the only way to go.

I clicked his link and may pick up his books - seem like my kind of stuff to read. With that said - his book was not “banned”. It is a private company transaction and they can not publish the book for whatever reason they want. He has no right to force them to publish his works per whatever contract they have between them.

His 'crime? Writing that a postulated avanced AI might see abortion as something humaity might do to it and begins aborting humanity.

But apparently advancing the thought that a brand new life form might see us, humanity, as dangerous because we terminate our young, apparently - that's a ThoughtCrime most heinous over at Harper Collins. Even for one tiny little chapter.

This is the SAME publisher that is handing pro-gay, anti-Trump MeGyn Kelly an $11 million deal for her “memoir”. Tells you all you need to know about Rupert Murdoch/FoxNews.

HarperVoyager is "The global science fiction and fantasy imprint of HarperCollins."

This could be an opportunity for Baen Books to recruit some new authors.

I’m sure this will be fun for SJW - disabled main character, utopian civilization which pays people to not work, public housing, etc, but I’m sure the worst moment for them is the ending which is pro-corporate.

Overall, an excellent fast paced read, well worth the 99 cents eBook price, or if you’ve got Kindle Unlimited, it is included in your subscription.
