The irony is that people sticking it to the billionaires are crushing the voices of their own resistance. Indies use the oppressor's platform to be heard. Readers shop where they only stock books the trad pub industry has allowed

Welcome to a true dystopia. There are no good choices. Only Zuul

Me, seeing a bunch of authors enjoying massive success while behaving badly

Also me, writing a manifesto of how coffee tastes like burnt water so someone will hate read my books next #booksky #bookdrama

Don't mind me, trying to focus on the work I need to be doing and resist the urge to vaguebook (vaguethread?) after having one of the most exciting phone calls of my life #booksky #authorsky

Can I interest you in some Disney Retellings in the Vicious Wonders series by Leann Belle? How about Vampires and Astrology in Monsters of Graves Academy? #booksky #darkromance #romantasy

Finally over jetlag, so in the spirit of getting back into the swing of things while I anxiously wait for life news, lets do starting wordcounts:

Zodiac Beasts: 25,096
Scifi Mulan epic: 26,584

Down to only two projects I'm focusing on for once, and just going to follow the inspiration! #booksky

Authors! How useful is a publishers marketplace subscription? A majority of my career is indie, but I'm currently on sub with my agent, and having all of that deal info behind a paywall is torture when I'm trying to learn more about the imprints we're subbing or see what books are selling #booksky

Just gonna leave this right here. We're All Mad Here by Leann Belle is free on KU and also available in Audio, narrated in DUET #audiobooks #booksky #booktok

Anyone else obsessed with those little artsy comicbook style, semi-animated video shorts or just me?

Okay back to writing, but I ❤️ this Zodiac lite-omegaverse 😍 #booksky #darkromance #bookart

Currently in a hotel in Thailand, getting my first moment of calm after a nonstop 2 months of travel, and the first thing I did was dust off my laptop and melt into Monsters of Graves Academy. Sometimes as an author trying to MAKE it I don't realize how close I get to burn out. Rest was much needed🩷

Any other authors here on sub? Can we talk about this dark and lonely place of not wanting to have to answer when someone asks "did [x book] sell yet?" as month six ticks by and wanting to scream into the void? No, just me? #booksky #authorsky #books

Fun facts about me: I love mythology, history, travel, and motorbikes, and I spent the first 13 years of my adult life in Software Dev, so my FMCs are always STEM girls

I also grew up entirely on manga, anime, and JRPGs, so my books favor eastern tropes over western tropes, since that's all I know

Where are the bookish people who love things like:

🍪Dark Romance mixed with Horror and Fantasy
🍩Morally black psychos
🍙Reverse harem
🥠Isekai and ADVENTURE
🍡ALL THE BOOK ART
🍭Anime and Videogame Vibes over 3rd act breakups
🍋Plot + Spice + Multi-POV + Queer
🍮Love & Trauma

Let's be friends! #books
