MacMillan announced in an email today that their publishing platform for authors is closing. Several writers told me that Pronoun had issues regarding reporting in a timely manner. I’d assumed these were simply growing pains that would eventually get ironed out as the platform developed.
I had high hopes for Pronoun. Some of their terms were favorable and their user interface was super nifty and easy. I’d planned to publish a book through them but, fortunately, that release got delayed due to illness so I didn’t get stuck. Alas, they’re shutting down officially as of Jan. 15, 2018.
If you are one of the authors who published through Pronoun and feel like you’re about to be (a) an orphan, (b) marooned or (c) highly inconvenienced, here’s a link to their FAQ page about the demise of Pronoun.
Pronoun, we hardly knew ye.
