It’s ridiculous. The authors are still owed their share of that sales revenue. This doesn’t make sense. Halt sales and pay the authors their outstanding royalties, then call it a day. Don’t just shut down and deprive the authors of their royalties. It’s such a bad look for the whole industry.

If you come across any more closing publishers, please send them our way (but hopefully you won’t!).

This is incredibly sad and frustrating. Publishers have a duty to their authors. We often reach out closing presses offering to take on their book lists to keep the books in print, often to no avail. When publishers don’t pay their royalties or close suddenly, it reflects poorly on all publishers.
