Death of a publishing dream: how the Unbound revolution b... The literary disrupters enjoyed great success with their crowdfunding model, signing authors that other publishers overlooked. And then the money ran out…

FINALLY a newspaper publishes a proper investigative piece about Unbound, which dissolved earlier this year owing writers and readers vast sums of money (£20,000+ in my case), after a long period of false promises, incompetence, late payments and vagueness. observer.co.uk/news/busines...

The Observer takes on the collapse of Unbound - some truly shocking allegations, almost all of which I have seen compelling evidence of as a member of the Unbound author WhatsApp group and through my own experience of being published by them observer.co.uk/news/busines...

It's notable that ex Unbound CEO Dan Kieran, ex Unbound MD Kate Boulton and ex Unbound CEO Wil (one "l") Harris have stayed silent about why Unbound (despite heaps of crowdfunded cash) failed & shat all over its authors. Dan, Kate & Wil: many authors & readers would love to hear your side of things.

THREAD. There was a time when I didn't know what people meant when they said "gut feeling". These days I do. What's more, gut feelings are something I have learned to trust. This time last year I was about to release a novel I'd loved writing and was very proud of. Yet I felt deeply uneasy. But why?

A logo of a book and the title Great Books, that deserve better

Being part of the whole Unbound saga has not been fun; one consolation has been the support of the many other authors involved.
And so, in that spirit, we've put together a list of some of the great books that now need publishers and agents. Please do share!

You and Yours - Fried Chicken, Contested Wills and Unbound Authors - BBC Sounds How fried chicken is going upmarket.

Great to hear @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social Tom Cox talking about the Unbound scandal on BBC Radio 4 at lunchtime. Most authors earn a pittance from their work, but the way Unbound’s authors have been treated is shocking. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
