Including trauma in fiction allows a reader to have a safe place to process their own hurts! We need more authors willing to step into the uncomfortable to shed light on this topic!

Good morning. Audiobook producer here. The argument over whether listening to an audiobook ‘counts as reading’ doesn’t make sense. If an author doesn’t write something, I have nothing to produce. I can still *ruin it,* but so can a bookbinder. Audiobooks are books. Hope this helps.

Would you rather... a morally grey friend who gets the job done, or a friend who never questions the law, but seems to be hiding something?

What if everything you believed was built on a lie? Inquisitor Flick Alastar never questioned his duty—until a forbidden faith shattered his certainty. Will he obey or defy? #booksky #darkfantasy #indieauthor #turningpoint

If you're wondering whether you should promote your book or your latest publication now with all the chaos, the answer is yes. We need your words. We need to flood the channels with art and literature. So go for it, friends.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. #1616: In a world in which the average writer earns only £7000 a year, be sure why you want to do this. If it's to make a fortune, or hang out with famous people, or to be famous yourself, forget it. It isn't a lottery. It's a slog. Only joy makes it worthwhile.

We have specific words for employed writers: Screenwriter, Author, Copywriter, Journalist, Critic, Editorialist. But if you write, you are a writer. Don't let anyone tell you - or even tell yourself - that you aren't a real writer until you are paid or published. I'm here to tell you that you are.

Writers advice. Don’t comment on a negative review. Don’t post about a negative review. Don’t pay attention to a negative review. Don’t feed the negative review. Try to forget it exists and move on. They happen. Everyone gets them. Complaining or calling out the reviewer is bad business.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. #53: Don’t be discouraged by rejection. Instead, try to get feedback to find out why you were rejected. And however a rejection makes you feel, don’t respond aggressively, or complain on social media. Publishing is a small world, and you may end up meeting again…

Issuing a #BookChallenge to the world asking not to challenge books! Decide not to read books in your own homes, it’s a decision between library grown-ups & library kids. Allow books to be books on bookshelves to show one they belong 💛 Every book isn’t for everyone, but every book is for someone ✨

Books are great companions because they don't eat the last cookie nor snore in bed when you're trying to sleep.
