Cory Doctorow on Nostr: But one of my publishers - a boutique press that published my collection ...
But one of my publishers - a boutique press that published my collection *Overclocked* - collapsed along with most of its competitors, the same week my book was published (its distributor, #PublishersGroupWest, went bankrupt after its parent company, #AdvancedMarketingServices, imploded in a shower of fraud and criminality).
