Authors earn an average of only £7,000 a year – yet Meta, one of the world’s richest companies, has taken millions of books to train its AI without paying. This cannot stand, writes author @abielongstaff.bsky.social www.independent.co.uk/voices/autho... @societyofauthors.bsky.social

Please do sign this is you agree that huge, wealthy companies shouldn’t steal individual’s livelihoods…and if you do think that is OK please unfollow me…

TODAY…

Today UK authors are protesting against Meta for stealing our work to train their AI model. Authors earn an average of £7000 per year, we are not rich, and yet a trillion dollar company decided it didn’t want to license our work fairly as it was “too expensive” Theft is not a valid alternative.

Sometimes people ask why we label our shelves as 9+, or 5+, rather than 5-8 or 9-12. We believe that having a birthday doesn't mean you have to age out of a book series or a book you love. We want our readers to love reading, without feeling pressured ❤️

PHOEBE!!!! They are AWESOME! So awesome I think you should make a comic and fill it with them! Bravo!!! I ❤️ them ALL!!!! X

Spring has sprung & so has the LATEST WRDMag. That's not all. You can now read it online… for FREE! Still available in print for those who like to turn the pages in person 😊 It's a CORKER! Stuffed with extracts, interviews & reviews for 8yrs+ & Xtra for teens. Spread the WRD! 📚😍

SUPER EXCITED to reveal the cover of Happy Hills the Third AKA MR BIG FLUFF RULES! And on #internationalhappinessday as well! WHOOP! PRE ORDER YOUR COPY NOW!

‘I Hate Everything!’ - @sophyhenn.bsky.social’s picture book masterpiece - is OUT NOW in pretty much any language you wish. It is beautiful and funny and honest. A magnificent family read.

THANK YOU SO MUCH @rurooie.bsky.social for this WONDERFUL review! I super appreciate it! X

So exciting to see WONDERFUL @jennymclachlan.bsky.social ‘s new ROAR on the cover of @booksforkeeps.bsky.social …

IT’S OUT TOMORROW….

⭐️MORNING WONDERS⭐️ Well, it’s book birthday EVE and I am super excited to be out and about with the marv @papercatbookshop.bsky.social to celebrate! I am super excited about this book and I really, REALLY hope you like it too…

Ace that this is getting coverage, and yayh comics, but there’s stuff that’s bugging me here, as I think it’s symptomatic of what U.K. publishing is getting wrong about comics. In particular it’s this highlighted text from the analyst at Nielsen:

Jeg Hader Alting! Sophy’s ‘I Hate Everything!’ is out next week, pretty much EVERYWHERE. It’s her masterpiece. A proper global sensation for #worldbookday amzn.eu/d/6BXNDC9 @sophyhenn.bsky.social @simonkidsuk.bsky.social

An in honour of #InternationalWomensDay and to celebrate World Book Day week please take a look at these new shinies for 2025 - fantastic books by fantastic women… @sophyhenn.bsky.social @chloeillustrates.bsky.social @smritihallsauthor.bsky.social @mglnrd.bsky.social #kidlit #newbooks

Happy International Women’s Day! The day we celebrate the fact we still need International Women’s Day.
