I'm reading @juergen_hubert 's books, starting with "Sunken Castles, Evil Poodles". His translation of German folklore to English, complete with commentary and footnotes, is utterly fabulous.

As someone who's read a lot of folklore books, across multiple cultures, I highly recommend "Sunken Castles" for writers and lovers of folklore alike. Solid research, notes on where the story is set in modern geography, great context, witty asides all make for a very engaging, inspiring read. The stories come to life from his carefully light, detailed approach.

This book is helping me create myths and folktales for my own fictional world. I'm having a blast reading it!

I’ve been thinking about the #selfpublished #author ecosystem recently, specifically from a new or first time author. Beyond writing the book, of which they are very proud of. They also take on every other aspect either themselves or hiring someone, from editing, to graphic design, to promotion, to social media, to web design, to more. Here’s where my idea comes in, specifically for friends and word of mouth acquaintances. /thread because it’s getting long #writingcommunity

I quite enjoy doing pixel art animations, so here I join two loves, the pixels and my book, A Gun Is the Thing with Feathers, which the first episode came out at the end of last month.

It is a pre-solarpunk, beautiful dystopia with an Ace female lead and plenty more LGBTQIA+ POC peeps throughout.

It is free digitally and available in handmade chapbooks, zine style, via my Ko-fi. Links in bio. It is not on A-zon cause fuck them.

🎉🎉🎉 The print editions of: “You are a Strategist: Use No-BS OKRs to Get Big Things Done” are now available via independent retailers!

Because eBooks are great and all, but there’s just nothing like that “new book smell.”

Happy Wednesday! 🎉

My recent blog post is live. In it, I talk about something that’s been on my mind for a while: publishing exclusively on Amazon.

I had a long thread about this last week. Many folks engaged, which was great. This blog post organizes my own thoughts on the matter, and adds some additional insights.

I know this will be controversial, especially here. Please keep any discussion respectful. 🙏

Sarah J. Hoodlet · Amazon ExclusivityMany indie authors publish exclusively on Amazon for a number of valid reasons, but in a time when aversion toward the big tech company is at its highest, not everyone agrees.

I’ve released 5 #selfpublished books and today I’m feeling hit with severe #impostersyndrome . I #write as a #hobby mostly because I’ve got these stories floating around in my head that need to get out. But once out there I never know if I’ve found “my people” who enjoyed the book. Maybe they’re out there. But I’ve not met them or had any interactions. Not even an email. Ugh. Just ugh. #writingcommunity #amwriting #author #authors #yalit #authorsofmastodon

Hi all, I'm Bren an artist and illustrator and web designer / developer. I've self-published a few comics and had a comic featured in the latest WIP Anthology. - "Tall Tales".
I'm currently working on finishing up some web projects so I can have more time for comics, in the pipeline I have a couple of horror comics and a collaboration with my writing partner, an asylum seeker from Iran. Here's a preview

Hey there!

Just sold some of my books to a woman who's getting them for her teenaged niece in California.

She sent me a video of her niece saying how much she liked Crooks & Straights, so enthusiastic and and I'm just just 🥰

She bought "Wolf Logic" (sequel to Crooks & Straights) as well as "The Babylon Eye" and "Ray and the Cat Thing" and I added a free copy of "The Real" (sequel to The Babylon Eye) to the pile.

Wrapped them up in a brown paper parcel, oh, to be a teen getting a parcel of books from a favourite aunt ❤️😊
