I'm posting something that I had hoped I'd never have to, and I have stayed quiet for many months
Unbound -
@unboundsocials - the publisher of my book, Keanu Reeves Is Not In Love With You, owes me many thousands of pounds and has behaved appallingly towards me and dozens of its other authors
They went into administration, then IMMEDIATELY set up a new publisher (taking my book with them), saying they would honour what they owed the authors through payment plans
After just one installment they said not only are the payment plans not viable but that we wouldn't be receiving our next royalties cheques either
I understand things are tough in the industry and I have been loyal thus far, but the manner of communication and the blatant untruths along the way have become too much to bear
In the meantime, having left so many of us utterly skint, they are spending money on launching new books
I have asked Unbound to revert the rights to my book as I don't want it to go out of existence and for sales to simply go to them while I don't see a penny.
I will be putting it out myself through Amazon and am hoping that my followers will help me with some of the associated costs and to recoup just a portion of my losses
This book has helped many people identify and subsequently leave fraudulent relationships and I am damned if that's going to stop!
I have reluctantly set up a GoFundMe and if you feel you can help me keep the book in circulation, then please sling a couple of quid into the horribly bare pot
(For anyone who thinks what they have done is illegal, I'm afraid it's not. Lawyers and forensic accountants have been all over it and they've been very clever in what they've done. All legally above board, although ethically is a whole different story)
Thank you everyone π
