Apparently Smashwords royalties are changing as of January 1, 2026. Books under $2.99 will get 40% list; books $2.99 or over get 75%.
(Amazon KDP, for context, is generally 35% and 70% respectively)
Draft2Digital owns Smashwords, so if you publish via D2D it's easy to add ebooks there. 💙📚

Not gonna lie lads, it’s fucking bleak over here.
Trans people can’t fight this on their own, cis women need to start leaving and boycotting these organisations that exclude trans women.
I go where my trans partner goes, if she can’t go I don’t go. We all have to do this.
