This is a bit… odd. I’ve subscribed to Publisher’s Weekly for two years, and although I really enjoy browsing their bestseller lists, articles, and book reviews, I don’t want to spend $240 to renew again - at least not just yet.
They’ve already sent me the standard renewal messages - two or three of them - but today I received a more sternly worded notice by email:
Your subscription to Publishers Weekly ends this month and frankly I am surprised we haven’t heard from you.
We’re not only going to have to stop sending you your copy of Publishers Weekly, but we are now forced to deny access to PublishersWeekly.com. As you know, we’ve given you complete access to PublishersWeekly.com as part of your subscription. But now that relationship is about to end.
Feels rather like I’m being punished for something horrid.

Typical men for you. Always threatening to end the relationship. Bastards.
Not only are they surprised, they got surly, too!
Well, at least they didn’t play the guilt/pity card. Last night Omaha Steaks called me (again!). When I asked to be removed from their call list, the gruff male voice, dripping with sarcasm, intoned, “Well, Jack and Beth Hale will sure miss their steaks!” I’d sent them as a thank you gift last year for helping me settle my mother’s estate.
Good on you for revealing the PW ploy!
Well, that’s an interesting response. I think they’d lose my business, permanently. :)
