So, Boris Johnson’s memoir has tanked. Who cares? Not Boris, who keeps his 2m advance whether it pays out or not. Not HarperCollins, who get the kudos of bagging Boris. No, the people paying for this are all the other HarperCollins authors who get to subsidize him through lower advances and budgets.

Best to just delete.
Also, a 35 year old man should have some better shot to discuss other than comic book nonsense in this day and age.
Fuck sakes.

“Sometimes I Rolled My Eyes When He Wasn’t Looking: My Life as a Resistor Inside the White House” (HarperCollins, 2029)
It cannot be long before Trump’s retinue of sycophants, enablers and justifiers, in government and in the media, start telling us, "I never liked the guy", "I tried to restrain him" and "I was only obeying orders."
So be sure to keep the receipts.

David Walliams' reputation was an open secret, junior staff were told to meet him in pairs & never visit his home, yet HarperCollins only dropped him when a Telegraph investigation came out. The problem is not just him. HarperCollins knowingly promoted & funded a guy sexually harassing junior staff.

This is such a good point re HarperCollins’ recent AI licensing attempts.
Something that I think is VERY important to emphasize is, regardless of the size of the offer, HarperCollins is acknowledging they do NOT have the right to use authors work for AI or LLMs without a new license.
“To call this bleak is an understatement.” HarperCollins is selling their authors’ work to AI tech.
