Part of our job, at Draft2Digital, is to ensure that any distribution partnerships we offer are structured and maintained to a set of standards. We do this so that authors can continue to receive the same level of high quality that we\u2019ve always offered, and can continue to trust that we are protecting their interests. Occasionally, this means vetting distribution channels to decide whether they should be included or excluded from our service.<\/p>\n

As such, we have determined that distribution to 24Symbols is no longer in the best interest of our authors, and we will be removing distribution to this channel.<\/b><\/p>\n

We have been closely monitoring 24Symbols for several months and have determined that the operational and accounting timelines of the platform do not currently meet the minimum requirements we have set for our distribution partners.<\/p>\n

As a result, we are removing 24Symbols as a distribution channel on our platform, as this is in the best interest of our publishing partners. Any books currently distributed to 24Symbols will be delisted.<\/p>\n

NOTE: Draft2Digital will cover any outstanding royalties due for our authors who have made sales through the 24Symbols platform.<\/i><\/p>\n

We always regret having to remove options for our authors but doing so in this instance allows us to continue to provide you with the best possible opportunities for getting your books in front of the right readers. Our priority is the continued success and well-being of our authors.<\/p>\n

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to keep Draft2Digital\u2019s distribution at its current level of high quality.<\/p>\n

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email us at\u00a0support@draft2digital.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Happy publishing,<\/p>\n
