#writing #authors #indieauthors Me: reading quips by other writers on #booksky

Shocking. Yet another #anti-abortion lunatic went on yet another murder spree, and the media is yet again blaming this politically and religiously motivated violence on “mental health challenges” because the dude is #Christian and white. Apparently, holy war is only #terrorism when #Muslims wage it.

So as I gravitate towards #authors to actually connect and explore the experience together, it appears mostly empty accounts selling their products, services or latest books. But not anyone behind the wheel. 😏

Like every #author hopeful, I imagine a time that my #book reaches 100’s of thousands readers. Be a source of inspiration and encouragement for a future that starts with this moment. #indieauthors what steps have you taken to have your book seen?

Chief Dan George led an amazing life. A gifted poet. An activist for his people. A movie star. Remembered as the first Indigenous person to receive an Academy Award nomination, he was so much more than that. This is his story. 🧵 1/16

Let's stop calling them protesters and start calling them freedom fighters. It's not a protest it's an uprising. Solidarity with the 🇺🇸 freedom fighters tomorrow. Take your power back. ✊️

#indieauthors I am going to create 10’s of ghost accounts and flood #booksky with posts that appear to be raving about how great my first novel is.

#authors are posting, self promotions, requests for advice, or tips. What category did I overlook?

#indieauthors how do you go about shopping for an editor?

#indieauthor here. As I navigate the questions every first time author asks, I normally would have found a group on FB. Meta and I are no more, so I need to step up my #hashtag game. What tags are you using that brings you the best exposure for acquiring new people to follow?
