Ask HN: How Is to Write for Packt?

Did it happen to anyone to get his author contract canceled and the manuscript given to another author?

Have not heard of this before, what is the context?

I think you've had a lucky escape. I worked with Packt and am not really that impressed by the outcome of the published works. In retrospect, I wish I'd done it independently or, with another publisher.

I wrote for Packt, but I didn't have that problem. It wouldn't have been allowed by the contract.

Can you tell us what happened?
