Welp, more #RWAShitshow silliness, because I’m just OCD enough not to let this go.

I can’t find out where Glenfinnan Publishing is registered as a business. Suzan Tisdale‘s complaint was all about the fact that Courtney Milan harmed her business.

Side note: I still can’t figure out whether she’s even allowed to do that as a publisher? Can publisher members of the RWA file ethics complaints against an author member? The policy isn’t clear.

Anyway - Glenfinnan doesn’t seem to exist as a legal entity anywhere. It should be registered in Tisdale’s home state but they’ve no public record of it. I even emailed the county registrar and asked, they’ve got nothing.

Lovely people btw, very helpful.

So Tisdale DID have another company, which was presumably for her self-publishing, and that was dissolved Sept 2019. So she was switching to Glenfinnan, replaced the name on the ISBN prefix, all that kind of thing.

This is all pretty normal stuff. I’m sure authors do this all the time as their business changes.

I’m just baffled that Glenfinnan wasn’t registered in the same way. Or maybe it was, somewhere else, and I can’t find it now. Or she’s not legally obliged to register it.

It’s just odd. Dunno what it means.

I’ve also identified two possible candidates for the authors who bounced from Glenfinnan over the August 2019 throw down.

Not gonna reveal those names, they don’t need that shit.

I will confirm this much: their social media looks normal for your average author trying to make a living. No sign of them being racist or even political. Make of that what you will.

The saga continues...
