Men are responsible for their actions, but women don’t need to be sending out a message as dangerous as this. Think about the little girls in your life. #darkromance #darkromantasy #shadowdaddies #booksky #amreading #amwriting #bookrecommendations #bookrecs #wordshavepower #thinkbeforeyouread

SPD’s closure in 2024 removed a key channel for hundreds of small presses. Additionally, the increase in Amazon’s KDP scam has led to Pioneers Press, a woman- owned pub house, to close. Indie authors should give these small houses a chance. #pubhouse #tradpub #indieauthor #authorsky#booksky

Approximately 2.6 million self-published books were released on 2023. By comparison, the number of traditionally published titles fell 3.6%, to 563,019. Trad publishing cannot compete, yet indie authors are valuing quantity over quality. #booksky #authorsky #selfpub #tradpub #markettrends

I relate to Gordon Ramsey as an author with every fiber of my being. That man loves the craft so much that being served microwaved food is an insult to the craft, because it is. So I say this in a very Gordon Ramsay way. STOP SERVING MICROWAVED BOOKS YOU TWATS!!! ❤️ #booksky #bookhumor #authorlife

I relate in the most macabre of ways 📚💙🗡️ #writesky #writingcommunity #Booksky #authorsky #AmWriting #Killingofcharacters #MurderMysteryBooks #MurdeMysteryAuthors #HorrorAuthors #HorrorBooks #FunnyAuthors

If an indie writer thinks to "publish now, edit later" and scam their readers into paying money for their unedited book, they need to ask themselves if this same behavior would get them fired at a writing job. Imagine you were a paid ghostwriter. Don scam people! #selfpubproblems#authorsky#booksky

I hate being an author online in the age of indie authors who do not value or understand basic business sense. Nor do they understand the notion that it is far worse to willingly charge someone for an unedited book, without the possibility of a refund. #indieauthors #tradpub #booksky #authorsky #fml

To all those that asked for this monstrosity, the first chapter is out on AO3. Word of warning though, it is just as heavy as the original series.

Too many indie authors shrug off editing as “optional.” But grammar and structure aren’t optional, they’re craft. If we want respect, we can’t excuse sloppiness. Readers deserve our best, not our drafts. #IndieAuthors #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #booksky #authorsky #hottakes

Self-publishing shouldn’t mean amateur, but it’s becoming synonymous. Too many debut writers rush to KDP, treating books like fast fashion—cheap, disposable, unedited. We risk sinking the value of indie lit if quality doesn’t lead. #IndieAuthors #SelfPub #WritingCommunity #booksky

Books cost more than ever, yet feel cheaper by the day. KDP’s flood of unedited, rushed releases has turned literature into fast fashion—diluting value and shifting even trad authors toward speed over craft. Are we trading legacy for volume?

There’s been a lot of discussion about literacy lately in schools, but not enough discussion amongst readers and authors. Reading Colleen Hoover is not going to increase your reading levels. This is the reason why reading the classics is so important. #literacy #readinglevels #colleenhoover

I started writing this upon the request of some people on TikTok, who wanted to hear a story about Snape raising Harry. Spinner’s Ending is on AO3 as a complete rewrite of the entire series. #hpfanfic #seriesrewrite #ao3fanfiction #ifsnaperaisedharry #potterhead

“Whatever Happened to Anna Finch” is a Physchological Meta Horror that bridged the gap between fiction and non-fiction, or perhaps the character is simply descending into madness. You'd have to read to find out once it drops. #newfiction #debutauthor #psychologicalhorror #horrornovel #metafiction

This is not my usual type of writing, but sometimes I do write some stuff for fun and also for the challenge. I only created this monstrosity upon the request of a few people, and I do love the challenge of turning something so cracked into a narrative that is actually moving and exciting. On AO3.

Audrey Winters has become a bit of a hot topic lately, and well, I don’t agree with her choice to price her book at such a high cost, her writing does remind me a lot of myself when I was younger. #audrawinters #ageofscorpius #writeradvice #authorsjourney
