Readers simply expected the bare minimum any customer expects from any business; delivery of the product they had paid for.”<br><a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/unbound" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>unbound</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/Boundless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Boundless</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/publishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>publishing</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a><br> <a href="https://www.thebookseller.com/comment/the-unbound-authors-view?utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_source=Bluesky#Echobox=1751031854" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">thebookseller.com/comment/the-</span><span class="invisible">unbound-authors-view?utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_source=Bluesky#Echobox=1751031854</span></a></p>

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."

For those authors involved in the Unbounded/Boundless garbage, Alex de Campi is working right now with a UK lawyer investigating options, and is looking for correspondence between affected writers and the publisher regarding it. Details below and please do share.

Bluesky Social · Alex de Campi (@alexdecampi.bsky.social)UNBOUND AUTHORS: I’m speaking to a solicitor about our fine mess. If you have ANY correspondence with the company (beyond the “Dear Author” letters we all got) in 2024 about nonpayment or about the company’s financial stability, could I see it? I’m opening my DMs for this (don’t make me regret that)

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.
