"To you, O LORD, I cry, and to the Lord I plead for mercy:
"What profit is there in my death, if I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it tell of your faithfulness?
Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me! O LORD, be my helper!"
"
- Psalm 30:8-10, English Standard Version

The Wicked Witch of Publishing, herself a three-time author, has launched a publishing company aimed at putting out of print books back on the shelf. Back2Press Books invites authors to join "THE 100,000+ CLUB" if they own the rights to their already published book and that book sold over 100k while in print.
“The problem is that publishing companies are content, even ecstatic, if a book sells more than 10,000 copies, let alone 100,000. Rarely do they continue to promote a proven bestseller at the expense of the newer books currently in the pipeline. After months or even years of helping to fill the publisher’s coffers, the 100,000+ bestseller eventually dies an unnatural death from negligent homicide,” says Scanlon [WWP].WWP is the author of a book on the cure for jet lag, which appears to be the real deal and is available again at a discount prior to the official publishing release.
