It's a disgrace for a publisher to declare bankruptcy, and relaunch with the serial numbers filed off, avoiding royalty payments.

Yes, I'm talking about Unbound/Boundless.

"If my business survives, I will pay you" is not a valid business model.

Writers create the inventory. We're direct costs.
Unbound authors will not receive unpaid royalty payments until new publisher Boundless 'is cash stable'
As founder John Mitchinson leaves, Unbound authors learn they will not receive historic royalty payments for sales of their books unless Boundless "survives and thrives".

It seems part of the new techno grifters’ plan to plunder the corpse of Unbound is to exploit the IP in their archives.

They’re in breach of contract. Get your books back. Get your agents on it if you can.

Then they don’t have anything to exploit.
AHAHAHA THEY ARE PIVOTING TO AI look what I found in Sharma’s letter buried on page 47 of the liquidators proposal (sorry for no alt text, can’t do it on phone). Full proposal is here: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ozaa3...

So there you have it. My ex-publishers who last year stopped paying me for the seven books I'd written for them, have today gone back on their promise that some of the money that they owe me and their other authors would come through. I should have guessed.. www.thebookseller.com/news/unbound...
