Obvi we all know that AI "art" is BS. But just in case: Unlike AI "artists," indie authors don't need a computer to write for them.

Much like how artists don't need a computer to make art for them.

This person has been using #cozyfantasy to peddle their plagiarism. Block 'em if you see 'em.
A tweet from Coyote JM Edwards says, "Oh my bad!! I didn't realize AI 'art' was the main thing on your profile. Just a heads up, generative AI does steal from artists in case you didn't know, so it's not the most ethical thing to share proudly." The reply reads, "I get where you're coming from. But to me, using AI to create and share art feels a lot like being self-published. I'm not claiming to replace traditional artists - just like indie authors aren't replacing novelists. It's a different lane where creativity is more accessible."

I now have an itch.io page! And I am humbly recommending that you start with my book Unbury the Bones as it is free (and hella gay) <3 🌈📚

cozyote.itch.io
The cover of Unbury the Bones with some attributes around it. "Nonbinary protagonist." "Aromantic rep." "Panic disorder rep." "Vampire detective." "Cozy urban mystery." "Platonic intimacy." "It's okay to take care of yourself." "Werewolf who's just a big puppy."

Packing up a cozy order from my shop! I wrap each book in paper from my grocery bags and I use 100% recycled packaging to mail it.

If you're sick and tired of Amazon's BS, you can get all my eBooks (and paperback) directly from my shop - and you'll actually own them hehe🧣📚

Items laying on a table. A stack of paperbacks of Coffee, Milk & Spider Silk by Coyote JM Edwards, two piles of stickers, and a book wrapped in brown paper laying on top of a brown paper mailer. A note on top of the book reads, "Thank you for your order! I hope it makes you smile."

There's only two-ish weeks left to get in on this project! Nine free cozy fantasy books, including my own Coffee, Milk & Spider Silk 🧣📚💙 I especially love Haroun's Market of Wonders - you don't see middle eastern cozies very often!!
Cozies for Disability. What is it Disabled people should have the right to equal access to education, health care, and other services provided by government funding to all citizens. In the US, Section 504 and telehealth are under assault. Section 504 supports both education and healthcare, and telehealth can make the difference between a doctor's care and no care at all. How to participate Step 1: Contact your government representative in support of disabled people's rights Step 2: Send a screenshot of the filled-out contact form to cozybookbundle@gmail.com Step 3: We'll send you 9 free cozy books featuring disabled characters. Act, rest, repeat! The books The Tale That Twines by Cedar McCloud A Twist of Faerie by K. M. Jackaway Haroun's Market of Wonders by Lynn Strong ...and many more cozy stories such as the Rose Bridge and Priye! See the full bundle at the link below. www lynnstrong.com/bundles

Today begins the FINAL WEEK to contact your reps and get 7 cozy eBooks!

And this is one of the seven - with a Middle Eastern setting and a species of people unlike any cozy fantasy I've read before, you're going to want a copy. 💙📚🧣

(Thank you @lynnstrong.bsky.social!)

A pink themed book review of Chai and Cat-tales: Priye by Lynn Strong. The genre is cozy fantasy and the rep is listed as neurodivergence and fatness. The review reads, "Priye is a dazzling novella (part of a larger bundle!) featuring a neurodivergent catfolk girl. I absolutely love how this world is explored from Priye's POV, including her confusion about people saying one thing but meaning a different thing, and her desire to be 'useful' by society's standards. Very sweet, very vivid, and Lynn has a knack for prose. (Pick it up for free in the Cozy Fantasy for Trans Rights project!)"

I did mine!!
A screenshot of the government form requesting comment on the new US Passport Renewal rules. The comment says, "The proposed changes - specifically regarding passports needing to have 'sex assigned at conception' - are discriminatory and narrow minded. Transgender people exist and have always existed. Forcing their passports to have incorrect gender markers opens them to bigotry and violence from TSA officers and more. In America, we are free to do whatever we want with our bodies. To rule otherwise is un-American."

Whoopsies!! Reposting with ALT text!! <3 <3
A pink-themed book review with the cover for Baker Thief by Claudie Arseneault. The genre is listed as cozy fantasy/steampunk and the representation is listed as aroace and genderfluidity. The review reads, "Baker Thief is the aro enemies-to-lovers story of my dreams!! As well as having delicious croissants throughout the book, there's a fantastic adventure, a host of different trans and queer characters to fall in (platonic) love with, and, yes, there is in fact a cuddly baker-turned-rogue dashing through the darkened city streets and stealing things. Baker Thief is currently free with the Cozy Fantasy for Trans Rights bundle - more information in the website below!" The link below is www.pride.cozyote.com.

A book review for How to Get a Girlfriend (When You're a Terrifying Monster) by Marie Cardno. Review reads, "How to Get a Girlfriend is one of the few books that has made me laugh out loud! It's ridiculously charming and the romance between Sian and the amorphous blob of tentacles and madness that she wants to be her girlfriend is genuinely so touching. Very queer, with snappy, hilarious prose! If you were on the fence about it, the Cozy Fantasy for Trans Rights project is a great chance to pick it up for free, wink wink :D". A section labeled Genre reads, "Cozy fantasy/romance." A section labeled Rep reads, "F/f, queerness galore."

Y'know I really don't get why fantasy protags are always flinching. This guy goes on a whole monologue about scary vampires and she waits until the end to flinch... because she met a vampire an hour ago? Am I misunderstanding what a flinch is? You flinch when you're startled, or suddenly threatened.

The other says "market your book by copying and pasting plink over and over like a Gen Z nightmare"
