If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

ALCS report on author incomes shows 60% drop in median incomes since 2006

Honestly, pure admiration is one of the loveliest human emotions to witness
Also in the first quest when folk paired off to try to incapacitate each other
Person A: I absolutely couldn’t handle B’s strength and power
Person B: Person A was a god, I held on for dear life

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

I’m so grateful for the men in my life, from my dad to cousins to friends and exes, who humble me with their generosity, their kindness, their care, their fire, their creativity, and their good hearts. 💕 Thanks for sharing this little life with me.

Amal’s audiobook for The River Has Roots, her novel about two sisters who make music together, has *actual music played and sung by her and her sister* and you should listen to it.
I'm so happy more people will be made aware of Gem Carmella's brilliant narration & Steve Wagner & the Macmillan Audio folks' excellent work producing it! & it's honestly amazing to get to share this kind of recognition with my sister, because we sang & played music together on it.

*Business months is a thing in publishing, I’ve decided. December, for example, is not a business month. Neither is August. Fridays basically do not exist.

Honestly the best thing about publishing is getting exciting news you will be able to share in 2-12 business months

Same. I’d just rebought them because they were the books that made me love epic fantasy, and then I found out, and it just makes me sick.

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.
