This one did not quite get missed. It's now in and it's been added to its proper place in a series.

Is it possible to add The Order of the Pure Moon Reflected in Water by Zen Cho? I appreciate its still quite far from publication date but in my defence I am reading it and I'm *super* behind on my novella reading challenge...

I'm happy to enter future works as long as they've got a publisher, cover, synopsis, and release date. This is in.

Unfortunately, the blurbs about these two place them outside of what we would consider entering into the database.

Some rare titles. But they are all in.

Very little available on the muller title. If you could shoot me a private email of the text of the back cover I'd update the database.

I found it on eBay -- I've had good luck finding back cover copy there, since sellers often include scans of both front and back of books for sale.

I've added it in, but as Gwen DeMarco in Galaxy Quest might say, "This jacket copy was badly written!"

Hi, I don't think that is quite the case. It's been published by Ethan Ellenberg Literary Agency, which is to my knowledge a proper publisher. Cheers!

Okay, I've done some research on this, and we Ubers and the Admin have had a discussion about it. 

This was published by Ethan Ellenberg, an author agent who has started providing a publishing service for books by authors he represents which he apparently can't sell to traditional publishers. I guess he decided he might as well be getting a chunk of the booming self-publishing business.

That is why we have created a new service that I have named ‘agent sponsored publishing’.  It isn’t self-publishing because just as we are your partners in our traditional activities, we will continue to partner with you should you as a client use this service. How is it different, and we hope better, than self-publishing?
All of our expertise is put at your disposal in agent sponsored publishing. We provide editorial support, we provide art direction for the cover (which we commission at our expense only to be recouped from earnings), we see that the book is expertly produced and we provide marketing support to directly sell the book. We also help you market your book based on the scores, even hundreds of marketing plans we review every year and based on the nearly one thousand royalty statements we review every year.  This is expertise that is rarely available to the self-published, if at all.
http://ethanellenberg.com/agent-sponsored-publishing 

We currently have 4 books in the WWEnd database by Taylor, all published by Ellenberg in the last 3 years, which apart from Outland are the sum total of Taylor's output (and which explains the horrible covers).
http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?248059 

Technically, these should not have been added to the WWEnd database. But they're in, so we'll leave them in. But we're going to pass on Outland for the time being, and any further books put out by Ellenberg, if we get requests to add them, will probably be given hard scrutiny.

I know that this decision is disappointing, and it's possible that this decision will be revisited at some point in the future. But there's a whole lot of crap being produced right now -- estimates are that 10,000 speculative fiction works are being self-published each year -- and if we say yes to some self-published works, then we have to say yes to all of them, which is something we really don't want to do.

Regards,
illegible
