Interesting podcast featuring @alicefraser.bsky.social describing her experience publishing with Unbound/Boundless. Worth a listen if you want to get a rough idea of largely how the first eight months of this year felt to me.

Get your box of tissues, b/c all your holes are going to leak when you hear this tale of woe.
Thank you @alicefraser.bsky.social & @podchris.bsky.social for making art and trying to share it. Love the book, sorry about capitalism, can’t wait for your next adventure

I’m completely star struck. I read Damned Whores and Gods Police at 14. It changed the course of my life, her subject matter leading directly to my MPhil topic choice and her approach inflecting my intellectual development in deep ways.

Hey Alice,

I just listened to the cast about your book. I am so sorry that has happened to you.

I think your audiobook idea was brilliant. Perfect format for your existing audience too. I went bought a copy right away.

It’s only 15 usd which is a steal!

The passion held by the author of A Passion for Passion - one @alicefraser.bsky.social - is audible in the latest @realmsunknown.bsky.social episode.

Listen. And get angry - not just for her, but for the other authors who have also been so afflicted.

The Last Post got me through 2020 & when I heard the horror that @alicefraser.bsky.social has and is experiencing, my heart broke. The 'A Passion for Passion' audiobook announcement made me cry-- ordering now. Thank you for your dedication to craft, Alice. It's a gift we hold dear.

They were just so NICE about it all, is the thing that keeps getting to me. One of the lessons I keep needing to learn in life, I think. That nice is not the same as honourable.

“A passion for passion”

The physical book got caught up in the Unbound shithousery, as discussed in the new episode of realms unknown podcast.

A great book, so funny and theres now an audiobook available.

You should buy it.

Ok, just did a short story comedy writing thing at @briswritersfest.bsky.social and one of the other writers was Garth Nix and I nearly broke a leg trying to be chill. I’m very rarely star struck but Sabriel was formative.

Also his story was very funny. What fun for my first writers festival ever.

How A Publisher Almost Killed The Book I Waited My Whole Life To Write: a thread

My novel Villager came out in 2022. It was published by Unbound, who had little marketing/sales power. But I was excited & proud, since I worked so f-ing hard on it.

Here's an extract: www.tom-cox.com/the-village-...

@alicefraser.bsky.social scunnered to hear about the extremely crap way you've been treated by your publisher, but I'm so excited about the 'A Passion for Passion' audiobook! I can't wait to buy and listen to it! 🤩🎧

Terribly sorry (and enraged) for your publisher's collapse (and fuckery) I hope you eventually get the money for the Passion For Passion books (including the one I bought).
I've purchased your audiobook today. I hope others do too.

So disheartening the hear of the shenanigans and outright robbery going on with you book. Gonna get me that audio book immediately or as immediately as I can in the US. They're best when you read them, especially if I can hear a supressed giggle.

I backed the book early on, and it is very good! I will also get the audiobook mentioned in this - do that to support Alice and Chris and enjoy the experience. We still have a physical copy in store, if @alicefraser.bsky.social would like it, DM (or Chris) and we will send.

This is a really good discussion by a couple of people who dealt with releasing a book through Unbound as it collapsed. @alicefraser.bsky.social and @chrisskinner.bsky.social are great, Alice's book is fantastic, and it's really unfair this happened to so many great people. youtu.be/8l73x6t27U4?...

I'm excited to appear at @briswritersfest.bsky.social having accepted a peculiar mission: come up with an odd alter ego and then write a short story in the voice of that character. Come see!

@alicefraser.bsky.social Listening right now to you and Chris announce the audiobook version of A Passion For Passion and I couldn’t be more delighted that you’ve done this. My wife and I are both big-time audio CD users (I use digital too) and I will certainly get a copy of APFP. 🫡🇬🇧
