Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We were first approached by Sue Quin on July 6th, 2016. See below for email. in this email you can see that we were offered nominal pay and credit for our contributions. We contributed text, recipe and photos for 3 locations, 2 of which were published. Mercado de San Juan de Belem and Grand Market Budapst. Once we fully supplied content, publishable photos, workable recipes and a bio - we were never responded to by the authors again. In the end, we found the book on a bookstore shelf and found out we were published that way! For our time and effort we received a 32 word bio with no mention of or blog or which inclusions were ours. In the microfilm that is the credits - for recipes - no one is credited with any information that may help people know who they are(URL) - we are NOT Credited for the recipe on page 84 - we are credited for page 207 - but without mention of our blog as promised for photos for pages 80-84, we are credited for our 4 of 6 photos and the recipe here? por pages 204-207 - we are not credited AT ALL Not one author is credited for their text. ------ In short - this book is presented as if Carol Wilson and Sue Quinn are authors, travelers and creatives. Carol Wilson and Sue Quinn DID NOT WRITE THIS BOOK. Independent Bloggers did. People ripe for exploitation. They curated blogs and edited them into a book without the respect or compensation offered. We even had to purchase the book - as our request for at least a complimentary copy was also ignored. We are happy to provide the full correspondence and original submissions should anyone not believe this. When I read the reviews here praising the photography or recipes, I feel bad as I know the hard work and love that many individuals put into this; only to receive the least allowable (and in our case below the least) in return. We were really looking forward to being credited in another publication and even nominal payment is appreciated when others are profiting from your work. We received: - NO pay - PARTIAL credit - NO details of our Website Blog. This experience has been completely different from when we have worked with other editors who treat their sources with respect and stick to the "deal”. ------ On Jul 6, 2016, at 12:42 PM, Sue Quinn REDACTED wrote: Hello, Please allow me to introduce myself as editor of a new book, the World Atlas of Street Food, created by UK publisher Quintessence, part of The Quarto group. Street Food is the latest in a cool and stylish series – previous titles include the World Atlas of Street Art, The World Atlas of Street Photography, and The World Atlas of Tattoo. The book has been sold to Thames and Hudson in the UK and University of Texas Press in the US for delivery autumn 2017. Street Food will be a guide to the world’s best food markets and street food, organised geographically. Each section will highlight the gorgeous food available in each region/city, and include wonderful images and delicious recipes. To prevent the content from dating quickly, we plan to use established markets as an anchor for the pop-ups, stalls and/or trucks. I am looking for writers with terrific photography skills to write some of the reviews and provide beautiful images for the book. I came across your gorgeous website, A Blog Voyage, and wondered if you might want to contribute? You have already reviewed at least one of the markets that we are featuring in the book (Grand Market Hall – Budapest, Hungary) and possibly others. The word count for each market varies, but ranges from 300–600 words with a fee of £50–£75 for words and images. We would also include your profile/biography at the back of the book, along with details of your website/blog. Could you let me know if this project is of interest, and if so, I could supply further details.I very much look forward to hearing from you. Thanks and best wishes, Sue Quinn Food writer + cookery book author -------
