What Harbourstone Media says
We do not accept the characterisation of our royalty reporting. Our statements for the 2024 and 2025 periods were issued within the contractual window in every case, and we have supplied the dated records to Authors Daily. Two of the authors concerned had provided bank details that failed validation, which delayed payment but not the statement. We have asked for the standing to be reassessed against those records and we are content for this response to stand alongside whatever conclusion is reached.
