Anyone considering signing up with Boundless ought to read this carefully, note that the same people are in charge, and remember that past behaviour predicts future performance.
Today's Guardian newspaper has covered the ongoing Unbound fiasco: still no payment for me and other authors, & most shockingly of all the publisher is refusing to refund the readers who supported my new novel (which thankfully will now not be published by them): www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...
Authors await overdue payments as publisher Unbound goes into administration
The company, launched in 2011, has been acquired by new company Boundless, after writers have been left unpaid for months
