An #agentsguide to ECHO CHAMBER
A feminist essayist confronts the leftist heartthrob who built his platform off the back of her talking points. When their confrontation goes viral, their feud becomes public spectacle—and something darker, obsessive, and way too sexy to ignore.

WE WILL DEVOUR THE NIGHT and AND THE AGE OF SUMMER WILL RISE are officially eligible for this year's Indie Ink Awards.
I have taken the initiative to not only list out what categories I think they're eligible for but also list out examples of why I think they're eligible :)

I've only been doing this full-time for less than a year but I don't really have a safety net. I have savings and the generosity of whatever friends and family are willing to give me. That's really it. I will probably be back in salaried employment by next year if all goes well.
Many full time creatives have “invisible safety nets” like bread-winning partners, trust funds, external support, etc. No shame on anyone, but it creates a false vision of success. The cost of going to cons alone on top of hoping to eat as a freelancer are untenable, IMO.
When people hear that I'm returning to part time work they often ask "are things not going well with your art?"
The problem really is things are going well, but the world is so unstable that I long for some consistency and income that I don't have to pay quarterly taxes on

i didn't want to put all my books in KU but the results can't be denied, especially after years of trying to make it work wide.

Probably one of the highest forms of praise I've ever received.

I wrote about the retention rates of my completed fantasy trilogy and the numbers are looking VERY positive, especially considering indie fantasy projects haemorrhage the vast majority of its audience after book one. You can read about it here.

I can't be a romance writer because if a heroine has to choose between saving the world and her villain love interest I'm going to expect her to make the first choice every time.
