When four women first banded together to form The Writer’s
Coffee Shop publishing house, little did they know they
would publish one of the most successful book series in
history: Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker, and
Fifty Shades Freed. Although they never formalized a written
partnership agreement, the four operated The Writer’s Coffee
Shop as a partnership, but that lack of a written agreement
was a portent of things to come. After selling publishing
rights to the Fifty Shades trilogy to Random House, one of
them claimed no partnership ever existed and made off with
more than $40,000,000 in royalties from the sale. It was against this backdrop that Jennifer Pedroza retained
attorney Mike Farris to file a lawsuit in Fort Worth, Texas,
to establish that The Writers Coffee Shop had been, and
still was, a partnership; that she was a still-existing
partner in that partnership; and that she was entitled to
her share of partnership profits. Fifty Shades of Black and White provides an insider’s look
at the sordid story of the rise and fall of The Writer’s
Coffee Shop, as well as a study of the litigation it
spawned. Mike Farris explains how the case developed and
proceeded in the courtroom while Jennifer Pedroza tells her
personal story of how she was victimized by someone she
thought was a friend. In the end, this is a cautionary tale
of what happens when money comes between comrades and of the
importance of “getting it in writing.” It is an illustration
of why greed is one of the seven deadly sins.
