Another Unbound victim here. I’ve got 25 followers here 😆 hoping you all buy a copy of my newly republished book Legends of the Leaf. Ie any of my books actually. Janeperrone.com/books
FINALLY a newspaper publishes a proper investigative piece about Unbound, which dissolved earlier this year owing writers and readers vast sums of money (£20,000+ in my case), after a long period of false promises, incompetence, late payments and vagueness. observer.co.uk/news/busines...
The Observer takes on the collapse of Unbound - some truly shocking allegations, almost all of which I have seen compelling evidence of as a member of the Unbound author WhatsApp group and through my own experience of being published by them observer.co.uk/news/busines...
It's notable that ex Unbound CEO Dan Kieran, ex Unbound MD Kate Boulton and ex Unbound CEO Wil (one "l") Harris have stayed silent about why Unbound (despite heaps of crowdfunded cash) failed & shat all over its authors. Dan, Kate & Wil: many authors & readers would love to hear your side of things.
I think it’s a good sloe year this year…. There is something about the bloom on a sloe that is just gorgeous…
THREAD. There was a time when I didn't know what people meant when they said "gut feeling". These days I do. What's more, gut feelings are something I have learned to trust. This time last year I was about to release a novel I'd loved writing and was very proud of. Yet I felt deeply uneasy. But why?
Like reading about plants that can kill you? Do I have a treat for you! The Atlas of Deadly Plants is out October 23… published by Greenfinch. And there will be an audiobook too! please preorder! www.janeperrone.com/books/#atlas

What’s it about? Glad you asked. I tell the stories of 25 iconic houseplants from the Swiss cheese plant to the Boston fern. Find out how they grow in the wild and how to care for them. You can hear a chapter in my podcast here: www.janeperrone.com/on-the-ledge...

Being part of the whole Unbound saga has not been fun; one consolation has been the support of the many other authors involved.
And so, in that spirit, we've put together a list of some of the great books that now need publishers and agents. Please do share!

If anyone wants a copy of Legends of the Leaf I have signed copies I can send out www.janeperrone.com/books/#legends
Great to hear @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social Tom Cox talking about the Unbound scandal on BBC Radio 4 at lunchtime. Most authors earn a pittance from their work, but the way Unbound’s authors have been treated is shocking. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
This is a really interesting thread bigging up some of the publishers who writers have had great experiences with…
I never even got the email saying ‘oh sorry we’re not paying you today after all…’ so I am not holding out much hope of getting the money I am owed.
Yes!
