The itchio launch bundle has ended, but I’ve officially set up a Kofi goal to get Elven published in paperback! If we meet this goal (which covers formatting and print costs) by October 31st, then I’ll be able to offer Elven in paperback and list my first ever book boxes! 💙📚

Scam alert: there's an IngramSpark impersonator at ingramsparkbookpublishers dot com. Part of a wave of publishing/ghostwriting scams from Pakistan that hijack authors looking to self-publish--they often "borrow" well-known publisher names but this one also "borrows" the real IngramSpark's logo

Screenshot of IngramSpark impersonator's contact form, with chat window where scammer sales rep "Travis Clark" claims that "We are Ingram Spark's hands-on services department. You will be able to find our information here: https://www.ingramsparkbookpublishers.com/

Honestly I’ve been wondering how people feel about this. I hate selecting music for videos. I try to only do it when the background sounds would dox someone or if I don’t have permission to have their voice in the background (assuming it isn’t a public space).
