>Fast forward, I just got notification from the publisher that the contract has been officially terminated and all rights of the work were transferred back to me.
Does this mean they get to keep the advance, and all the feedback from the editors, as well, for free? That seems like a pretty good deal - the publisher put resources into this project and got exactly zero in return.
It doesn’t sound like they ever received the advance, and most of the feedback was totally off the mark and unhelpful. Not sure it was a pretty good deal for anyone.
