Indie authors: Please. I'm *begging* you. Even if you don't hire a professional editor or proofreader, have someone *else* read your book with a critical eye. I just DNF'd book 3 in a series because the errors were so egregious & numerous, I couldn't get past them. #writingcommunity

Just saw a long list of recommendations for #Orisha books on here and most of them were AI written or by White people. went 2 share this and the post disappeared.
