Update: we just received a statement from Macmillan/Tor taking full responsibility for failing to register copyright, promising to make us whole and pay us any settlement money we lost out on due to that error, and promising to find & correct the lapses that caused this.
Every pub should do this.

this part right here is gonna create massive resentment in the industry. the copyright registration system and the fact that you apparently have to pay a bonus fee for protection from big companies pirating your work (and that tons of publishers never paid the bonus fee...)
Instead of working to include as many writers as possible in the settlement, the plaintiffs instead agreed on arbitrary and minimal definitions of which books would be included. It’s almost like they wanted a quick win – any win – even if they screwed over most authors. 4/

I realize the most likely scenario is the obvious one (a bunch of publishers dropped the ball on filing) but is there any chance the 💩 DOGE AI that put our SS numbers online and deleted references to the Enola Gay (bc gay) from gov websites could’ve also deleted a bunch of book copyrights? 😅

I’ve been neglecting BlueSky (because I can’t figure out how to save posts and that’s 98% of my social media usage) but I’m going to try harder bc the other sites are… well, owned by evil overlords

I would like to remind people yet again that when you buy a controversial book just to hate read it (see: “I’m reading it so you don’t have to!” all over social media) all you’re doing is proving that controversy= money. If you DON’t want more books like that to be published THEN STOP BUYING THEM

🚨According to litigators, ICE just put a dozen men on a flight (which may have already taken off) to SOUTH SUDAN, a country on the brink of civil war, in direct defiance of a court order requiring ICE to give people an opportunity to raise objections before being sent to a country not their own.

Buying plane tickets is exhausting. Why can’t the same thing just have the same price across platforms that doesn’t change between the moment you select it and the moment you check out two seconds later????
