And they demand she “apologize “ to them! Did you see Maureen’s unhinged piece this week literally saying that? How can they not see she’s living her best life and wants biting to do with any of it? So odd

Mock them! Priceless. Keep em coming!!! Point out their hypocrisy and low character. Ridicule and laugh at MAGA for supporting it. This is the way.

I've been talking to a lot of people the last few days, and, in case there's any doubt, I want to be clear: What Down and Out Books is doing is goddamn shameful, and staining an otherwise really incredible legacy.

Question: if your publisher sends out an email stating no more payments will be issued to their authors, do you think they’ve already spent the money they owe them or they’re just keeping it for themselves? Yes, this is about Down and Out Books.

Do not buy my books from Amazon or Down and Out Books directly. I will not get paid. I should get paid, as per my contract, but in an email from D&O I’ve been told ‘no further payments will be issued.’
It absolutely blows it is ending this way, but man, pay your authors what they are owed.

I was making a point. Really feeling for those authors right now, A shitty way to go out

Price would probably include a bunch of royalties currently owed to authors they’ve just apparently informed aren’t getting paid—ever.

The people who love books and want to read and edit and publish are not always the same people who should be running a business. off to go read up on this. so sorry you got caught up in this. authors seem to get the short end of the stick every time

Read for a while if you can. Watch something. Eat tacos. Turn that music up. Text a friend. Check in with your forever demons. Drink from the skull of your enemies. Take care of yourself. Can’t fight the good fight if you burn out.
