What to do with an accepted book chapter when the book falls through?

In our newest "how can we help you?" thread, a reader asks:

One of my papers was accepted as a book chapter. But book project failed as the publishing house closed down.
Should I still list this acceptance in my CV, and if so how should I represent it?

Unfortunately, I think the answer here is plainly "no", and the paper should now simply be represented like any other work in progress. As another reader submitted in a follow-up comment:

Do not list it. It counts for nothing and will look desperate. I assume the press cannot be that impressive anyway, if they went under. The thing to do now is send it to a good journal.

I don't want to infer anything about the press (COVID seems to have impacted even the most notable academic presses pretty severely), but I otherwise I agree with this follow-up. It sucks for sure that this happened to the OP, but they should simply try to publish the paper elsewhere. Anyone have different thoughts?

No, at the moment, list it as 'in progress', as the paper has not found 'a home' yet.

Why are the editors not submitting the final book as a proposal to another publishing house, given that they seem to have all the material together? Or the author could get in touch with other contributors and see whether they can have the book placed somewhere else (or suggest to make a special issue of a journal, with peer-review).
Otherwise, yes, submit it for example to a journal. However, in some cases book chapters were written for specific projects and may have a very narrow scope, so it is not always easily feasible.
