@bookstodon Read a letter from authors affected by the collapse of Unbound in The Bookseller this week:“What Unbound’s demise has shown, to a quite alarming degree, is how little tangible, active advocacy is available to authors in this situation … As authors, all we expected was for our books to be published in line with Unbound’s stated mission – and for their sales and profits to be honestly and accurately reported. Readers simply expected the bare minimum any customer expects from any business; delivery of the product they had paid for.”

The BooksellerOpinion: The Unbound authors' viewThe authors affected by the collapse of Unbound deserve real support, honest accountability and clear answers.

“Love burns in the Heart of the Master: he, seeing only God in every thing, with the white flame of worship purges it of all its fancied imperfection. His boundless adoration kindles space itself, leaving no void that is not compassed by his passion.”

Organisers of the (alleged) SCAM Should go to JAIL.

TLDR: #Unbound - the crowd sourcing book #publisher - went into Liquidation / Administration. New company #Boundless (set up by Unbound's former owners) claimed liquidation was to sort out finances and all obligations to customers and authors would still be honoured.

Now they are taking all the money, - including YEARS OF PENDING BACKPAY- not paying Authors and not fulfilling Customer book orders.

Scum.

Printweek · “If I wasn’t so f*cking angry, I’d laugh”: Boundless delays author payments - PrintweekBoundless, the post-pre-pack reincarnation of crowd-funded publisher Unbound, will delay paying owed royalties to authors until it is “cash stable”, according to The Bookseller.

Tom Cox: "I was invited onto BBC Radio 4's You And Yours today to talk about Unbound, who owe me and their other authors around £650,000 in total, which is not even taking into account the readers they have refused to refund."

The problem with the unethical behaviour of #Boundless #Unbound is that nobody else will ever publish their books through them. Nobody like me will buy their existing books.

I have recently had notice of the last book I bought through them (several years ago!), although I have not actually received it yet, and I will not buy any more.
