To fully understand ownership of work. To discover work has been published online without consent is a disgrace. Publishers also do not recognise good work when they see it. Authors are dependent on them and the time has come when that should stop. No one should pay to have their book printed. I will be eternally grateful to Marwa for bringing this to the attention and for working so hard. May there be more like her.
