Yes, because the writer has complete control over who blurbs their books and that's not something the publisher sets up at all.

I mean, sometimes you do (I did, but my publisher is awesome), but if you're published by one of the Big Six, not so much. So yay for punishing the writer for something completely beyond their control, I guess.

Mike Resnick is not a wet behind the ears newbie with no control over his work. While he's not as famous as Card, Resnick is has been a very well known SF writer for decades and if he didn't want a blurb from Orson Scott Card on his book, the publishing company probably wouldn't force him.

That said, I'm under the impression that his politics aren't too different from Card's and he would be unlikely to turn down a blurb from OSC for those reasons.

Yeah, but the OP of the secret said they bounced off any book blurbed by Card. That just seems like a pathological intolerance to me, especially since most authors are not Mike Resnick and Card has plenty of stature in SFF circles.

But, hey, I know plenty of writers who won't sub to Intergalactic Medicine Show because Card's name is on the masthead. He's polarizing, no doubt, but. Less competition for me, I guess.
