TATE PUBLISHING AUTHORS ARE THE BEST AND RECEIVE THE BEST!

Hello Dr. Tate just wanted to let you know that all is going well with my book and how much I have enjoyed working with your wonderful staff. They are all so great and kind and I feel they truly care about making my book the best it can be. Thank you Randy K.

NEW TATE PUBLISHING AUTHOR JUST POSTED THESE KIND REMARKS

My manuscript has been accepted by Tate and I am thrilled and feel very blessed. I researched publishing houses for several years and always found myself going back to Tate. They're honest and upfront and very professional. What unknown writers need to remember is this; most "traditional" publishers won't even take a glance at an unsolicited writer's work. The manuscripts that these writers poured their souls into are either marked "return to sender" without even being looked at or they're destroyed. Tate offers an upfront and informative way for the first time author, to get their work in print and out into the mainstream bookstores. Sounds like a win-win situation to this first time author. What I'd like Tate to know, is that with W.J. Harding, they've signed an energetic, go getter who promises good writing and even better selling and who also promises to be just one, of Tate Publishing's upcoming successes...not only personal success but an asset to Tate. I look forward to a long, successful business relationship with Tate. Thank God, for providing me with a way to make my lifelong dream, a reality! God Bless the fine folks at Tate!

TATE PUBLISHING AUTHOR ON EXTREME HOME MAKEOVER TELEVISION SHOW

Thank you for your excitement about Extreme Makeover. God has blessed us so much. I was truly a miracle to be chosen. We found out the air date will be Sunday evening on November 16th. I am thrilled that you will watch it. It will almost be like you are meeting my children. You will love them, they are terrific. Please tell the others at Tate them I am honored that they are going to watch the show. I am praying that God will use this show as an opportunity to open the door for people in my city to come to know Jesus, and to learn how to have compassion on others in the community. We are hoping that this will be a big step for Toledo. Please pray, it has been a long time since our city was positive about anything - especially God.

FEEL FREE TO GIVE ME A CALL FOR A PERSONAL CONVERSATION ANYTIME ABOUT YOUR QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS-1-888-361-9473

Have you ever gotten a letter, email, or even a phone message from an "anonymous" person? I find it fascinating that from time to time I get messages from an "anonymous" individual. You never know if the person is for real or not since they seem to be fearful of their identity. I have written political figures from US Presidents to our local council people with concerns, disagreements, and issues, but have NEVER sent it from me as "anonymous." It just makes no sense to me to want to express an opinion and get a resolve but not let the person I am writing know who is writing. I would not be afraid of the truth and I am not sure why "anonymous" folks are fearful and hide behind that word. I am proud to stand for what I believe with my name, phone number, and address. If I disagree or agree I want you to know who I am. I am not afraid to take responsibility for my statements and actions. I have never, and never will, hide behind, "anonymous." If you are "anonymous" then you should remain just that...ignored until you are willing to show your face and have confidence that your position has validity.

The following statement about "anonymous" writers is directly from the http://www.wikihow.com/ website which deals with issues such as this.

"Anonymous letters can be both psychologically and ethically difficult to deal with. This is because the author usually knows that he/she will have free reign with the content of their letter. This tends to make the letter writer over confident as well as highly critical. Psychologically and morally they are no longer bound by the rules of society and instead act as they would if no person were there to judge them."

I would certainly do not plan to judge anyone but would love to have the opportunity to learn from "anonymous" something valuable more than the fact that they do not want to take responsibility for their words and actions. I would never post a statement or question on this blog from "anonymous" since I do not know if they are serious about the question or about the truth. Too bad, conversation and interaction can do wonders...for everyone but "anonymous." I am confident that if I sent "anonymous" an "anonymous" email it would not be well received and "anonymous" would not be a happy "anonymous" person. If any potential authors, current authors, or just interested folks want to call or chat...let's do it face to face. "Anonymous" just does not work for me and I doubt it works for you either.

TATE PUBLISHING LAWSUITS AGAINST LYING BLOG SITES SUPPORTED BY AGENTS AND PUBLISHERS ACROSS AMERICA

Since we have attempted to negotiate with many blog sites which simply are lying to unsuspecting authors about the publishing industry (not only about Tate Publishing but many other publishers and agents as well) to tell the truth we have been forced to take legal action. Tate Publishing is now joining other publishers by filing trademark infringement and copyright violation lawsuits against  Absolutewrite, Writersnet, Writerbeware, and several other individuals and web sites. Word has gotten around the industry of our action and I am getting support emails from publishers and others. These lies misrepresent the truth and cause great grief for aspiring authors. The following email is typical of what I am getting.

Dear Mr. Tate,
Thank you so much for standing up against Absolutewrite.com. You are not only representing Tate Publishing, but hundreds of independent publishers and literary agencies that have been falsely judged by disparaging, hurtful and libelous comments on the Internet. Blogs and web sites that offer free advice to "save unknowing writers from being used by scam artists" have some sort of motivation for doing so. Whether that incentive is to draw an audience to offered services or products, benefit through the sale of advertising on their site, or most likely to influence readers with a self-serving agenda—there’s definitely some underlying reason for what might at first appear to be virtuous and altruistic actions.
Martin-McLean Literary Associates, LLC has been successfully selling mss and giving new writers a chance since 1986. The Internet has created many new obstacles, however, we've stayed on course, concentrating on selling mss for our clients and doing our best to ignore what goes on in cyberspace. Unfortunately, a lot of valuable time is wasted on defending ourselves and responding to questions written by potential writers or worried clients.
Your efforts are appreciated more than you know. Thank you.
All best,
Lisa Martin

TATE PUBLISHING SIGNED AUTHORS ARE THANKFUL WE ADDRESS THE ERRONEOUS BLOGGERS!

At Tate Publishing we are proud of our authors and defend them to the maximum of our ability. There are so many LIES and MISREPRESENTATIONS in the world wide web about publishing in general. We stand firm in setting the record straight with the truth. We also are a company of real people, with real phone numbers, real email addresses and real replies. If anyone ever has a question, call us at the toll free number on this home page. The reason people who blog incorrectly do not call is obvious...they know they are wrong. Thanks to a Tate author who just sent this note...


That awful blog at the AW site--Bravo! I can't speak for anyone but myself, but thank you and Ryan for coming to bat for Tate's reputation, and your authors, which I am one of. Again, thank you and God bless you both.

TATE PUBLISHING ONCE AGAIN AHEAD OF THE PACK

I was just informed by a member of our executive staff that a 100 year old New York publishing house has decided to assist their authors with a "self-help" web site "kit." Those authors of that house will have to pay to host their site. Very nice of them to do that. However, Tate Publishing authors for some time have been provided by Tate Publishing with a web site which our staff will create, establish and set-up, manage for them, and MOST OF ALL we PAY FOR THE HOSTING!! Once again, when it comes to being the best and leading the way, I am proud of our staff and their work. Tate Publishing is ahead of the pack and will continue to do so...Have a great weekend.
