My science fantasy novel is set on Calyssar, a planet ravaged by industrial collapse. Humanity teams with AI to create the Godseed: a sentient biotech ecosystem designed to heal the planet, restore biodiversity, and build sustainable habitats.
How the heck are ya, self published indie authors?

This would have been better as a poll. Is there any way to support polls on bluesky right now?

Advice for new creators: don’t overthink it. Create, share, repeat. Simple, but it works!

Whipped this up in google slides: "Build-in-public" marketing model for me as an author and artist. I focus on three things and their overlap:

1. Creating the product
2. Learning
3. Marketing the product

Is science fantasy gaining ground as a genre? 🪐📚 This is just my impression but seems very popular in self-published and online spaces but overlooked in traditional discourse. Anyone know some standout examples of the genre?

Woof. What a story. Welsh cartoonist Alex Norris is embroiled in a years long ordeal to fend off a US company that claims his strip is THEIR intellectual property. Norris has won several rounds in court, but the suits lurch on w/ crippling legal costs, which is no doubt the strategy.
