How can you trust a contract from a publisher that uses AI? They obviously don’t believe in author rights.

Question for autistic frens. I finally took a very honest self-assessment for autism and got a pretty high score. I will never be official, because diagnosis is expensive. But it feels right and doesn’t come as a surprise. What do I do with this? With self-assessment, do I join the community or… 1/2

Real Numbers! If you start a New Libro.fm Subscription ($14.99), your bookstore automatically gets 30% of that month (~$5), plus 10% of each month after (~$1.50) and 10% of all purchases! This is actually substantial!

Writing is so weird. Even if it paid enough to live off of, as an industry we've decided that payment happens 0-90 days after publication. So you can sell a story and not be paid for it for a year or more. How do I Quickbooks that nonsense???

If you're looking for a challenge and a kick in the pants, getting a cover designed is a great way to motivate yourself to write! :D

Thing I don’t talk about much: I use this dinosaur avatar because of general dysmorphia. I’m a sheep in wolf’s clothing—6 ft, broad shoulders, 300+ lbs, hands like dinner plates, big beard, always look grumpy. I hate it, and I hate that it’s my first impression in real life. Bleh.

Because I’m at @easterconuk.bsky.social in Belfast I posted my Strung Along in Seaforth story and then forgot to promote it. Having a smashing time, moderated a panel on David Lynch, spoke on a Star Wars panel and watched @rickandwrite.bsky.social win an award! jonlaidlow.com/2025/04/seaf...

Many congrats to Rick Danforth for winning the BSFA award for Best Audio with THE PERSONAL TOUCH! Very much deserved 😍 (and to Charlotte Ashley for taking the 2nd step in her goal of accepting every major SF award on someone else's behalf 😉) @rickandwrite.bsky.social @charlotteashley.bsky.social

Anyone know how to stream the @bsfa.bsky.social awards tomorrow? I'm a finalist for one of the categories, and while I don't hold out much hope, I'd love to watch it. :D A friend agreed to accept for me, so I'm covered either way.

So I stopped using Goodreads ages ago and every alternative I tried sucked for its own individual reasons. So I decided to track my books with a Google Form. It turned out it was super easy to setup and incredibly flexible. Literally a 10 minute time investment. 1/?

I just finished the new SA Barnes book. I have Opinions, but don’t want to spoil in public. Overall I enjoyed the book though, and the second half in particular was excellent. :D
