It's Freaky Friday x Six Feet Under x Legally Blonde and probably the funniest thing I've written :)

(I am not leaving because I am as dogged as they come, but I'm definitely diversifying)

So many conversations recently with other authors about moving into self-pub or diversifying into other creative fields.

Georgina Kiersten @ingloriousgigi.bsky.social · 5h

You should be concerned about the rate of authors leaving publishing. Especially from marginalized communities. This year I have seen so many authors just pack it up and go. And it's only getting worse.

Oh what’s that? They will depreciate at roughly 3 times the rate previously touted and require constant replacement and 2-3x the revenue to match initial expenditure?

You get to read the book, *other* people get to read the book, and every interaction like this that you have with your local library sends a message that it is valued and supported by the community.

Apart from everything else, now is a great time to support civic institutions!

Hey, I know books are expensive and money is tight right now.

But if there's a brand new book you really wanna read — including my own Lessons in Magic and Disaster — you can help get the book into way more hands by requesting it from your local library!

It's easy! Check your library's website.

This is desperately sad. Professor John Woinarski breaks the news for @aunz.theconversation.com that Australia's next animal - the tiny Christmas Island Shrew - has officially been declared extinct.

FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL DIRECTOR is just 99c in ebook all month!

It's the goth/barbie house meme written as a truly bonkers, riotous romcom - I had an absolute blast writing it!

Apologies for the radio silence these past few weeks.

Last Friday I was made redundant from my printing and artwork job in Cambridgeshire, and most of my time is spent looking for work.

Of anyone hears of any print jobs based in Cambridgeshire please feel free to reach out 👍🙏

It's never a bad time to bring up that we

have the resources and ability to provide housing, food, clothing, healthcare, and education to everyone at no direct cost to the individual; and we just choose not to do it.

People should just get paid six thousand dollars a month to exist. You may have counterpoints and things to consider about this idea but let me just get ahead of them: shut up
