Pat's Tor editor, Chris Morgan, is a retard

Yep, he dedicated The Ark to her.

That's fucking hilarious and pathetic. It's also grammatically incorrect.

Good thing he made sure nothing that resembles these photos are on the cover.

Not only that, they couldn't afford to have an artist create original cover art for them so they used shutterstock images. LOL.

Lmao, "it's always nice when you and your editor are in synch".

"So, Pat. Let's talk about the cover for In The Black."

"It's 'Patrick', little one. You have not earned the right to call me 'Pat', child."

"I'm so sorry, Patrick. Won't happen again. Anyways, about this cover. I'm thinking generic space battleship, something off Shutterstock, then slap the Max Gladstone quote about Gate Crashers on the cover again."

"Oh, my sweet summer child, that's perfect."

"Awesome! Meeting adjourned! Let's get lunch. I'm thinking Hooligans. How about you?"

"I love Hooligans, baby infant. It's always nice when you and your editor are in synch. And please, call me 'Pat', baby child infant little incel."

You'd think that would stop him from disingenuously bragging about it but our special boy can't control himself:

Also, I think I may have stumbled across a previously undiscovered short story of his. He's not one of the listed authors so it's never shown up on Amazon/Goodreads results. Not available on b-ok.cc, already checked.

"I can't read or spell properly. I get the letters all jumbled up. I know what job I'll be good at, a literary editor!"

Of course he's a retard.

Yep I was going to point that out. Of all things, he left out commas this time.

It'd be one thing in informal writing but this was a dedication in a book. What a dunce.

 

[FatMarathonCheater]

Nice dedications, stupid.

(Yes, the dyslexic editor left that period in before "The" on the second line.)

Nice font and spacing, stupid.

One thing his editor did right was telling Pat to throw out his entire first chapter. I forget which book, but he read the first few chapters and said the first one is entirely pointless. That must've hurt Piggy's self-esteem.
