Simon & Schuster’s flagship imprint is taking a big step back from blurbs, just days after @rebeccamakkai.bsky.social did a thorough analysis of blurbs and their downsides on her excellent Substack. The publisher’s explanation is worth a read, actually fun. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

About as succinct as it gets

A week ago, I had dinner with a key author of the AI consultation. Not just dinner: I berated them for about 7 hours. In return, they gave me a horrid cough. Which is a fair revenge. Anyway, here's a thread about what I took away from the conversation. These are my inferences, not quotes.

You don't have to read the Vulture piece on Gaiman. Not to be able to engage in the discourse. Not to "honor" the experiences of his victims. You, a person without the power to effect meaningful justice against this abuser, do not need to apologize for being unable to do so by traumatizing yourself.

I wrote about Neil Gaiman, and the women accusing him of sexual coercion, assault and abuse. www.vulture.com/article/neil...

An incredibly well-researched piece on the horrors of Neil Gaiman. It is extremely upsetting and explicit. Please be careful reading it. www.vulture.com/article/neil...

I might see if I can get a newsletter out today/tomorrow. So if you like me, and the words I write here, then you might like FIVE THINGS ON FRIDAY. www.fivethingsonfriday.com

Just musing on the infinite, superb skills of @sofiedodgson.bsky.social & thinking how YOUR comic would benefit from their magic. If you’re looking for a colourist you cannot do better than Sofie.
