The day before my new release, it gets rejected for metadata errors. It’s on me, but having to wait well over a week to find out about a typo is infuriating.

Chris Williams @chriswrites.bsky.social · 2d

A hundred percent agree.

They don't tell us these things in publishing.

A small press going out of business without paying its authors...inexcusible. I wish I could say it rarely happens, but I would be lying.

Do not buy my books from Amazon or Down and Out Books directly. I will not get paid. I should get paid, as per my contract, but in an email from D&O I’ve been told ‘no further payments will be issued.’
It absolutely blows it is ending this way, but man, pay your authors what they are owed.

What the actual fuck? That’s insane. On top of still offering your books?

The real shade was that my books weren't even pirated. I feel left out!

Chris Williams @chriswrites.bsky.social · 9d

In my research of creating a 2nd edition of this anthology, I noticed some realy shady behavior by my former publisher DarkLit. It's like there is no bottom. For example, they're still making money off these books, and listing themselves as the author.

ICE Barbie threatened to have agents swarm the Super Bowl for having an American perform. It was never about citizenship.

If this was true, Microsoft, Adobe, and Google would report me to The Hauge.

Chris Williams @chriswrites.bsky.social · 11d

Just threw my hat in to offer republishing an anthology from a now defunct press. That book didn't get a chance before they closed down, and it should be brought back.

Yikes. Literally word for word.

Chris Williams @chriswrites.bsky.social · 14d

Seems legit.

The slow cooker making the house smell like beef brisket and I can’t have any is the worst. Honestly a strong argument for RTO.
