It now appears that Outskirts employees need a math tutor.
Yesterday I received an email from one of their author services people, who periodically sends me an email blast to try to convince me to use Outskirts Press.
Karl Schroeder (photo from his Facebook page) related an alleged conversation with a happy Outskirts author. He said, "Outskirts Press was her first choice because our authors keep all their rights. And she liked our pricing flexibility. The other publisher pays her 200% less in royalties. Yes, 200% LESS."
I'm no Einstein, but I think there's something very strange about that number.
Unless there's a way to receive less than nothing, I can't see how it's possible to be paid 200% less than anything.
I asked for an explanation but I didn't get one.

Karl's diploma should be revoked (if he has one).
