OK, I'm going to do this. I want to put together a starter pack of authors of #sapphic / #lesbian #historical fiction. I know there are a lot of you out there (probably too many for a single pack), but I don't know if I have the reach to find them, and I want consent-to-include. Reply for inclusion.

The number one advice any & every writing professional can & will give you is this:

DO NOT BE AFRAID TO SUCK.

You have spent years reading books, watching movies & TV, developing taste to know good from bad. NO ONE GETS TO READ YOUR WRITING UNTIL YOU LET THEM. Trust your taste & write fearlessly.

1st Rule of Surviving #Publishing:

Everything is a cycle.

You will be told Historical fiction is out, Romance is in, Thrillers are steady, Literary is flat, Horror/SF is only strong in film/tv.
All above can shift in one season.

I need them to give us a save to drafts option. I’ll be patient! But sometimes I have thoughts that I like to have on ice for a min. 😂

I'm just a bookseller, standing in front of a customer, hoping they're asking for a book that we can conceivably get for them for Christmas...

and that hasn't been unavailable for decades... 🤣

Authors/publishers, go check a website called Oceanofpdf for your books.

They have 9 of mine that they are giving away for free and I've seen many belonging to people I know. Their email address is on the website.

They also have the gall to ask for donations...

If you're serious about writing, you have to read your peers. If it's good, it will inspire you. If it's bad, it will really really inspire you.

It's been ages since I've got to sit down, with some music on in the background, hand writing notes about stuff and drinking a bottle of red to myself. All whilst laughing with you weirdos.

Book pages should be numbered backwards so we’re always counting down how many pages we have left
