Smashwords No More - Ed Hurst - 02-08-2022
My former ebook publisher is more or less gone. I was just informed officially that Smashwords has merged with Draft2Digital. To be more precise, the latter has purchased the former. What's really strange is that Draft2Digital is right here in OKC. All the staff and assets from Smashwords will move from CA to OKC. The HQ is a big bank building up on what we call the "Broadway Extension" at Britton Road, somewhere inside the Oklahoma Fidelity Bank building.
Not that it changes too much, I suppose, but it's just a weird thing to see. So far as I can tell, all my books will continue to be available at the old Smashwords website. Meanwhile, there is a new beta service under Draft2Digital that allows for print-on-demand of books, too. The change is supposed to be finalized in March of this year. I'm still looking into the details.

I wasn't aware of this, but I just skimmed the Smashwords blog post about it. Huh.
