Just a reminder that your local library has more than books! Many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, internet hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and so much more! Maybe it's time for a visit! ❤️📚

I try to mostly shop at indie bookshops, but I’m really happy to hear that B&N is doing well. When I worked in publishing, I learned how crucial B&N is for author exposure & book sales. B&N is a safe haven for people of all ages. As long as they don’t push out indies, this is good news.
Barnes & Noble is making a comeback: The world’s largest retail bookseller is expanding at a breakneck pace and is on track to reach its goal of more than 60 planned openings this year.

The argument is that this vanity press can “streamline” the publishing process and I, an indie author, am here to tell them we already do so AND we pay ✨actual✨ humans to edit, design, and format our books. So thanks, but… 🫥 nah.

I personally think indie publishing is harder than trad because you are doing everything yourself and you are paying for it out of your own pocket.

ways to support indie and small press authors:
(beyond the obvious of buying their books directly)
- review their books on GoodReads, the StoryGraph, Romance io, the book retailers you get their books from, etc
- recommend their work to like-minded friends or family

I agree. The situation is more complex than some people make it. I like to support small businesses but as a small time author myself, I've also had an indie bookstore snub me so...🙃 it's not always easy.

I love indie bookstores, but saying online vendors like Amazon only financially support "some billionaire" is BS. Many authors depend on e-book royalties for their living. Ordering print from indies benefits the store, yes, but what's the author making vs. a corporation like HarperCollins or PRH?
