Delay with Pen and Sword books spring royalties

This one is for my fellow Pen and Sword book authors:

Dear Author

I am writing to let you know that we continue to experience issues with the software that we use to calculate royalties and this has delayed us in issuing royalty statements and payments during April 2026.

We know what the problem is and we know how to fix it, but unfortunately it’s not a quick fix and therefore payments might not be made until the end of May 2026.

We apologise for this inconvenience and will continue to do all we can to ensure that statements and payments are issued as soon as possible.

I would like to thank you for your patience and understanding with this matter.

Best wishes

Charles Hewitt
Managing Director

Comment: Sigh... The royalties are late this year, so I emailed them yesterday to ask what was going on - this is the first that I have heard of any software issues at the firm. Let's hope this gets sorted asap.
