More exciting prizes are being added to my newsletter competition - sign up to get my author newsletter now as per below. Clue: these prizes will be particularly appealing to writers and/or anyone who wants to write!

Time to clarify something. When authors say “Unbound haven’t paid me” that makes it sound like Unbound had some money, which they used to buy authors’ writing. Unbound had no money. The authors did: we had raised that money. They were holding it in trust. Unbound stole our money.

Very on-brand health supplements!
