MOVING TO FRONT FROM YESTERDAY--COMMENTS ARE WORTH READING; FORTUNATELY, SOME AUTHORS HAVE HAD GOOD EXPERIENCES; AN OUP EDITOR ALSO WEIGHS IN; DO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN OUP (UK) AND OUP (NY) WHEN RECOUNTING YOUR EXPERIENCES
I've been hearing from philosophy colleagues at various places over the last couple of months about serious problems with the production process at OUP: endless delays; sloppy copy-editing; in one case, failure to send marketing copies to journals for review, and so on. Lots of enterprises were under financial pressure during the pandemic, and I've heard, but don't know details, that there was a lot of "restructuring" at OUP. I'm opening comments for reports from readers about problems (including readers in disciplines outside philosophy), or insights any folks may have into what's going on. (For what it's worth, the copy-editing on my Moral Psychology with Nietzsche [OUP-UK, 2019] was excellent, but that of course was before the pandemic.)
