Tom Cox @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social • 1d If this publisher - formerly Unbound, now Boundless - gave me all the money they actually owed me, it would amount to over £20,000. Now, I suspect there will be nothing. Not for me and not for the large number of other authors who have received promise after promise that Unbound have reneged on. 5 ₴ 34 • 231. ••• Tom Cox @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social • 1d Most authors only wrote one book for Unbound. I wrote seven. I evangelised about this publisher for years, about what I believed they stood for, as my experience of working with them became more and more disappointing, stressful and damaging to my mental & physical health. What a trusting fool I was 2 ₴ 10 170 • Tom Cox @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social • 1d Without Substack, without the books l've broken my back selling myself in the last 3 months, I would be utterly screwed right now. And this latest blow has happened on the same week my partner & I found out we are getting kicked out of the house we rent in two months. I'm shellshocked.

Small Robots@smolrobots.bsky.social • 2d Oh wait, no: got a lengthy, whiny e-mail at 3am explaining that this poor widdle company can't pay us authors what we're owed like it said it would because it still isn't financially viable and btw the selfless executives have all been heroically working unpaid so please don't be mean uwu. Small Robots@smolrobots.bsky.social • 1mo Just wanted to update this because I think it's important to report honestly on the demise of Unbound: I have been told by Boundless I will be paid what l'm owed over a number of installments in the coming months. Which is probably the most transparency l've had since day one toh.
