If you're an #IndieAuthor & have a quality book, you might want to enter the Self-Published Book Awards. It might help if you've had your work professionally edited too.#SelfPublishing writersdigest.com/writers-di…

with the news of book depository closing, people are saying blackwell’s is THE alternative.
and even though i love blackwell’s, i want to remind everyone they don’t actually offer free international shipping… they just change the price of the book depending on where you live.

For those of you who are upset about Book Depository closing forever, please do check out Blackwells.co.uk. They also have free shipping and these are the countries they ship to.
Please retweet this so other ppl can benefit from it!

College shouldn’t be for job training, it should be for becoming a more educated person, & forcing students into majors their freshman year so they can’t take a variety of subjects (*ahem* humanities) is a major reason for the decline in critical thinking & democracy in America.

Trans Rights are human rights.
Trans men are men.
Trans women are women.
And if you think that they should be GENOCIDED just because they want to express their REAL selves, get the fuck out of my face.

It’s the last day of Black History Month and my second novel, Cameron Battle and the Escape Trials is out today! I’m so excited to continue publishing with @bloomsburykids! I can’t believe I get to keep doing this.

The @hcpunion has been on strike for FIFTY-FOUR DAYS. These folks put themselves on the line to make the industry better for everyone. Please consider supporting them by donating even a few dollars to help them stay above water until @HarperCollins folds. givebutter.com/HCPstrike

A gamut is a scale of notes or any complete range or extent.
A gantlet is a flogging ordeal, literally or figuratively.
A gauntlet is a glove. To throw down the gauntlet means to issue a challenge. To take up the gauntlet means to accept a challenge.

sending love and peace to DV survivors who not only have been forced to see a book romanticizing their trauma celebrated, but now turned into a colouring book ❤️

Why aren’t reading challenges published before the new year begins? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO PLAN MY READING?!?!?! #ReadingChallenge

The World Health Organization is transitioning to the term mpox instead of monkeypox, saying the term monkeypox could be seen as stigmatizing and racist. Until the new name is better known, we use mpox on first reference and use its former name once later in the story.

Do you want a professional proofreader but can't afford it? Does that lump sum payment put a dent in your cash flow?
Would it help to budget monthly? A fixed $$ monthly is easier to budget than a lump sum.
I'm offering to proofread 3 manuscripts/year for a retainer of $79/mth

this is another way of (once again!) saying that if you live alone, and are at all impacted by the darker, colder months, I'd encourage you to make a plan, if you have the energy and ability to do so. It has paid off for me mightily over the past few years.
