• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

There's a big piece in today's Bookseller comment section, for those with subs. I don't post a link because it's firewalled; I don't have time to precis.
 
Sorry, should have said:
The Bookseller's Comment article is from Anna Ganley, CEO, Society of Authors. It addresses what those affected by the Unbound collapse should know and could do.
 
It's not particularly insightful, in fact. Just covers the basics...
1. Understand the terms
2. Scrutinise the financial model
3. Know how the royalties are calculated
4. Pay attention to termination clauses
5. Act quickly when trouble arises
And... "We urge those involved at the Boundless Publishing Group to make every effort to find a solution and commit to paying Unbound’s authors as a priority.". Hope they're listening.
