started my second internship🎉🎉 last time I was mostly working on client manuscripts but this time I'm looking at a LOT of queries and it's so fun to see them all!

tho as a writer, it also makes me appreciate just how few fulls can actually be requested because WOW are there a lot of queries😅

Disabled and neurodivergent folks have always made art, so when you use them as a shield to defend AI and say the “need” it, you’re an asshole on top of a thief. Hope that helps. Have a wonderful day!
as an example, someone who recently disagreed with me about using ai for writing told me one of his reasons for supporting it was that it's useful for autistic people who otherwise struggle

he didn't know I am autistic and to his credit he did rethink this particular angle after I replied
this book has one of the most unique character dynamics I’ve ever read. don’t miss out!!

just got it, can't wait to dive in!!
mini book haul🤩

José Esteban Muñoz’s work has had a huge impact on the way I understand queerness and I’m so excited for Amplitudes.

Forest Euphoria popped up as a “related read” and it’s giving Staying with the Trouble vibes so I had to grab it😌

Somehow we're about to hit Pride month! 🌈

Which unfortunately means Off Limits Press is about to close down. May 31st is your last chance to get my cosmic horror WORM trilogy or my space horror standalone in print or ebook.

After that, they'll only be available in audio until they find new pubs.
Now you’ve got me over here counting my teeth (also 32🦷✨)

No exceptions. If you use Gen A I in any capacity whatsoever, you suck.

Yes, the way you're using it too. You're not special.

"She probably doesn't mean me"

I do.
I've seen some vocally anti-AI people recently make an anti-AI post and be surprised there are still pro-AI people following them, and I can explain this;

most pro-AI people think they are somehow the exception. the way THEY are using it, SURELY you would take no issue!

well, we do. so fuck off.

Ew - those ppl.

I have never ever used AI or chatgpt. In fact on the weekend I was talking with Chris from Little Ghosts and we were like, we don't even know where they keep the AI for writing and we do not want to know.

Please keep that very far away from my work which I write with my own brain.
This BookBub survey on authors and AI use says that "74% of the authors who use generative AI do not disclose their AI use to readers."

I want to be very clear that I DO NOT use generative AI in my books. Share your work here if that's true for you also!
How Authors are Thinking About AI (Survey of 1,200+ Authors)
We surveyed more than 1,200 authors to learn how they're thinking about generative AI as it relates to their work. Here's what they had to say.
