I take your point that she has supported writers, as I'd hope all good publishers would. Sadly I think it has moved beyond a sale to something of a liquidation which is an enormous loss in my view. Eoin Hello Simon,

You won’t hear any criticism of Clare here, so the comment seems a little unnecessary.

I take your point that she has supported writers, as I’d hope all good publishers would.

Sadly I think it has moved beyond a sale to something of a liquidation which is an enormous loss in my view.

She struggled to keep her independence. She ran out of options. I am one those writers whom she supported with her enthusiasm. I am grateful for the fight she put up. I bewail her loss of independence. I am hopeful that, once the deal is signed, she will sleep restfully for the first tme in months.
