The government's preferred proposal on #CopyrightAndAI will have a crippling effect on the UK's creative industries. So, if you're NOT a creative, but you value the arts and like living in a country that has a healthy creative industry and can spare the time to object to this proposal, please do!

Question for any Constant Readers out there. Which book would you recommend for a King newbie? No bricks (no IT, The Stand) but otherwise I'm open to all suggestions. I have my thoughts on what I would recommend but I'm really interested to see where other people suggest starting with King's work.

A quick reminder that there's only a few days left to submit responses to the UK government's consultation on Copyright and AI. If you're a UK creative, it's important to have your say. Link below to the response survey.

I’ve already written to my MP to strongly oppose the theft of my copyright to AI, and I would happily join any lawsuit against any eventual law. It’s really easy to write your MP. Give it a try, if you’ve got a moment.

Is it magic, alchemy or just magnificent science? Barbara, the Black Queen, has it all and knows how to use it wisely. She faced many hardships, and it was a pleasure to bring parts of her story to life. You can read more about her in @mahet.bsky.social´s new book "Die Schwarze Königin 2"

The Government is considering allowing AI companies to freely use your works, unless you opt-out. This is unfair and unworkable. Now is your chance to tell them what you think! Submit a response to their AI consultation using the guidance below. www.alcs.co.uk/news/your-ri...

This was an interesting challenge: an illustration for Shoreline of Infinity for the truth/fiction-blending story, The Tragedy of Concrete. Emma Levin's story starts in historical fact and stretches into an imagined future. It's a fascinating read. Find it in issue 34. ArtByJon

I've written a piece for The Bookseller on the AI and Copyright consultation, discussing why the opt-out model is completely unsuitable for protecting our creative industries and calling people to action through three simple steps! Please take a read! www.thebookseller.com/comment/a-ca...

I was fortunate enough to receive one of the limited edition copies of Sunward Sky by @henryneilsen.bsky.social. But if you missed out, worry not, because the regular edition of this sci fi novel has gone on sale today. You can get it from all the usual places.
