Talk:T. Gertler

Wyatt Harlan. edit

The article currently claims that "The novel's reissue uses the nom de plume Wyatt Harlan." However, the source used for that is a dead link on a publisher's website. The archive of that page indicates that it was not a "nom de plume" so much as Gertler had changed her name... but the veracity of even that is in question, as it does not look like the publisher issued the book. The Amazon listing for the Harlan-labeled edition indicates a publication date of 2030... which as a publisher myself, I can tell you that books don't really get solicited eight years in advance, particularly reissues. Clearly, this was something that was on the schedule, had a cover made up for it, then taken off the schedule, for reasons we don't know. As such, there's not much point to including this dubious sentence. I will not do the edit myself both because I am avoiding article editing at this time and because there may be a misperception of a conflict of interest. (I am of no known relation to T.) I recommend someone else evaluate this and, if they agree, remove that sentence and its reference. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 20:51, 28 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
