When I first published, I quickly learned we need more resources: on business, marketing, sales, cover design. A directory of the best artists & editors on the market.

Hi, I'm Jenni, indie fantasy author, marketer, and brand storyteller. It's my vision to help authors leave the 9-5 in 2025!

A book where a magical library gets fed up with humans and starts rearranging reality to make its own stories.

Them: "Autumn, it's been a week. You need to stop speaking exclusively in The Princess Bride quotes."

Me: "Inconceivable!"

Not enough of you are taking ‘kidnapped by a morally ambiguous necromancer’ as a viable career path, and frankly, I’m disappointed.

The fantasy genre is so great. I love it. It has endless possibilities like dragons, sky islands, flying whales, and affordable living

Little Free Libraries are underrated gems 📖✨️

✔️ Free books, no strings attached
✔️ Encourages reading
✔️ Promotes sustainability
✔️ Turns neighborhoods into book-sharing hubs.

Take a book, leave a book, spread the love. Found any good reads in one? #BookSky #BlackBookSky

hey for anyone who might want to actually own their kindle books instead of renting them, or who might be thinking of switching to kobo etc and will want to convert them to epubs, you now only have one week before amazon kills your ability to download its ebooks www.theverge.com/news/612898/...
Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books
It’s bad if you like to keep ebook backup copies.

A book where a vampire accidentally turns a witch, and he has to parent the most stubborn, hex-hurling, ferocious newborn bloodsucker in history.

If you grew up loving magical girl stories as much as I did, here are three books you should be checking out!

In the car today, my 10-yo noticed my tire pressure was low.

Me: It's because it got colder outside. Heat expands.

10: Is that because they're happy? The molecules?

Normalize running away with the morally grey villain just to see what happens.

Some of y’all would NOT let a brooding fae prince ruin your life for a hundred years just to see if he’s worth the trauma, and it really shows.

Okay, maybe it's this one 😂

Well, TikTok has gone dark.

As a creator who relies on Tiktok for income to help make a living, I'm pissed. This isn’t okay, and no one should think it is.

Good thing it will be back soon—though probably altered to cater to the oligarchs.

We can't have nice things.

#Authors, if you had access to one app or platform that offered everything you need, what would you want to see? 👀

And yes, I mean EVERYTHING 😍 🥰

Maybe our takeaway here shouldn't be "we'll just root out the good ones and worship them instead." Instead, it could be "it's bad to worship people in the first place; it rots their humanity." Or "Celebrities will not hesitate to abuse their status as 'the good ones.'"

I’m going to keep saying it until it happens:

My writing will be the reason my house gets paid off.

My writing will be the reason why I won’t have to work a 9-5 the rest of my life.

My writing will be the reason why I can finally know how it feels to live comfortable in this lifetime.

On that note:

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo
Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"

So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?
Looking for a supernatural queer read?
