The book publisher wants its money back from 12 writers who it says have not delivered. In separate suits filed last week, the Penguin Group is aiming to recover $417,333 plus interest and legal fees from the likes of Prozac Nation author Elisabeth Wurtzel, The New Yorker’s Rebecca Mead and political blogger Ann Marie Cox. “If the Author fails to deliver the manuscript …the Publishers shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by notice to the Author, in which event the Author shall promptly repay to the Publisher any all sums paid to the author,” read the complaints, quoting from contracts the various writers signed. The Smoking Gun first reported the legal action.
