Show Notes

This is a solo podcast where I discuss a trend in publishing to include a "morality clause" that would allow publishers to nullify a contract if the author hits any of the myriad tripwires that could cause public "condemnation," "hatred," or "ridicule" and hurt sales. 

This is the statement from the Author's Guild opposing these clauses. 

Some good information here too. 

William Wilkerson's resentful takedown of the Hollywood 10 during McCarthyism is documented by his son, here.
