😱 I can't believe we're wrapping up our first-ever #Quasar!
But from @jenniferhudak.bsky.social's soothing meditation to talking horror with @hwany.org, to a deep-dive into nailing public events & working with bookstores & libraries, what an abundance of riches made possible by YOU. 😍

Good article on the targeting of Australian authors by scammers posing as publishing service providers (I've been reporting on these scams since 2022--one of the markers for them is that, unlike other publishing scams, they sell ghostwriting services) www.theguardian.com/books/2025/n...
Lost in the plot: how would-be authors were fooled by AI staff and virtual offices in suspected global publishing scam
Book publishing websites in Australia, the UK and New Zealand appear to be using fake testimonials and AI staff pages to lure aspiring writers into handing over their money

How do writers use Tarot? What relationship does Tarot have with science fiction & fantasy? Why would science-minded writers use spiritual tools? Is asking Tarot just like asking an LLM?
@brightflame.bsky.social and I will discuss our thoughts on these topics THIS SUNDAY at @sfwa.org Quasar!
