A graphic that says the following... "Good evening, friends. Thereβs no way of dressing this up, so Iβm just going to come right out and say it. On Friday, the publisher of The Mab ceased trading. The following will spill the tea (and butter the scones) on the demise of Boundless (nΓ©e Unbound) publishing. This will be long, Iβm sorry, and there will be some swearing, Iβm more sorry. But there will be some news at the end of what will happen next to The Mab. So, keep reading, okay? Good."

Society of Authors calls for celebrity memoir ghostwriters to be credited
Many celebritiesβ books are actually written by others, the writersβ union says, and itβs time they were acknowledged
This is one of our current campaigns at Society of Authors, thanks to Chair of the Childrenβs Writers and Illustrators Group @abielongstaff.bsky.social
In short: Credit ghosts. Pay ghosts. My experience with Sir Chris was only positive. Shame not all are.
