I’m glad I can finally talk about this.

My company was contracted to write and illustrate books for a well known client.

My do-nothing editor gave me the assignment to write and illustrate the book.

I wasn’t given any instruction on the plot, characters, or message to convey. The assignment just said 24 pages, 24 illustrations. “Sure thing boss”

One may assume, the books subject matter should be written to support the client’s best interest. But as a trans female, this client eliminated some of my rights in my home state. Also my boss has been a total creep since I started.

So I wrote the book. 24 pages, 24 illustrations. It spoke about the client’s message however the tone was a parody, a farce.

My editor just glanced at it and passed it to the client. I guess nobody looked at it over at the clients side because they gave us the order to print 10,000 copies.

I just received my copy today, and nothing changed. When people receive this book from this client, they are going to be quite surprised about the message.

I have already put my two weeks in and I’m moving someplace far, far away.
