I discovered yesterday, in a mass email sent at 3am, that I will not be receiving the roughly £40,000 that my publisher Unbound/Boundless owes me for pre-order sales of The Paradox Paradox. The payment for five years of work, gone.

Jordan got screwed by Unboundless and currently sans agent; anyone got some publishers to rec for submission. Take a look at existing works:

99% of the time, people who hate cats try to treat them like dogs OR they have only known poorly socialised cats.
They want the instant gratification of unboundless doggie love (extremely valid, and I get it).
But they don't understand the feeling of gaining a cat's total trust.
IMO.

I am devastated that the money I scraped together to back @dan.nerdcubed.co.uk book has been stolen from him. I wanted to support the first novel of a creative mind I have enjoyed for years and pay him back for his work which literally saved my life. I am truly disgusted by #Unboundless

I mean I really think Elon is a great case study on how unboundless wealth throughout the entirety of your life shows how much of a piece of shit you can continuously be for the entirety of your life because I honestly feel if he grew up poor he would be a different person

Big fan to find out that the closest thing I have to a para-social father figure, got scammed for being a good author…Delightful

Unbound went bust, was bought in a flatpack administration, became Unboundless.
They owe authors hundreds of thousands in unpaid royalties, and are trying to wriggle out of that obligation while keeping the rights to the books.

I really don't understand how a company that has gone into liquidation is even allowed to set up a new company, before the old one is even cold in the grave. The whole saga is so hard to watch from the sidelines, let alone to be part of it. #Unboundless

Whole thread is good but basically this.
I've made my feelings on Unbound/Boundless known on here before.
Started great. Proceeded to screw over every author that's published with them in some way, myself included.

Seriously, FUCK Boundless.
Writers, do not publish with them.
Agents, do not submit to them.
Bookstores, do not carry their books.
Any company that thinks torching this many authors will result in being able to “continue publishing and rebuild trust” is delusional and deserves to die.

Every so often, my brain comes up with a solution to losing all my Unbound royalties.
But it’s always “People like your stuff. Make something cool. Ask them to pay for it.”
Then I realise I already did that, and that was the money Unbound stole.
I bet lots of authors are in the same hole.

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.
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 I'm owed over a number of installments in the coming months. Which is probably the most transparency I've had since day one tbh.
May 31, 2025 at 12:32 PM
Oh, to hell with it. Who wants my Unbound incompetence story! Yay!

What fun to discover £7,000 of book royalties, due today, aren't actually going to be paid. Not today. Maybe not ever.
So now it's time for yet another round of "What Do I Tell My Mortgage Provider?", and a quick game of "How Do I Feed My Dog?"
Fuck you, publishing. What a turd of a profession.
