this is literally fraud. You did not sign authors with the promise to pay their due if you made a profit, you committed to pay them for their work that they delivered and has sold. At the very least this publisher needs to be blacklisted, but hope there are also legal consequences somehow
Authors published by the crowdfunding publisher Unbound will not receive historic royalty payments for sales of their books, unless Boundless, the new publisher founded following Unbound going into administration, "survives and thrives" 👇 #BookSky
Unbound authors will not receive unpaid royalty payments until new publisher Boundless 'is cash stable'

want to be excruciatingly clear about this: TikTok didn't have to go dark last night and it didn't have to turn back on this morning.
both of those were voluntary moves that the law does not directly touch.

*Loved* this.
The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L. Jensen was fantastic. The world-building was simple but fluid, the slow-burn romance was well done, and the ending, while anticipated, wrought several "well shit" comments from me.
Looking forward to book 2!

Posting these out of order, but this book gutted me at the end!
Hills of Shivers and Shadows by @pamgodwinauthor.bsky.social was a dark read, but so well done. I have never rooted so hard for cannibalism than I did for the "father" in this book.
Loved it, can't wait for book 2!

Loved the fantasy/world-building, loved the romance, loved the heartbreaking moments and intrigue and breadcrumbs we got for what's to come.

Been getting some subtle (and not so subtle) shame from a coworker about "all the smut" I've read this year.
So I counted.
Of the 259 books I've read so far (working on 260 right now) 89 of them were romance, including an 18-book manga series with zero smut.
So ... 34%? Oh no ... the horror.

I think it speaks volumes that right wingers criticize bluesky for being “liberal” and “left wing”, when it’s really just that hate speech isn’t allowed.

You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.

Also: If you don't have money to buy my (or anyone's) books, and you live in the anglosphere, before you pirate them, try to get them from your local library instead. They have it or can get it, they pay for the books, and in many places writers get paid for their books being lent. Everyone wins!
