How picky an eater is your character? This is always a fun detail to throw in, as it will create a sense of separation from the general morass.

And I’m recommending @glennquigley.bsky.social brilliant works. More to boot, he’s a very kind man ❤️

This is so true. If you love a book, tell a friend! No amount of marketing can beat a personal recommendation from someone you know.

Word of mouth is important to a book's success. So, if you'd like to see the authors who wrote your favourite stories commissioned to write more, please keep talking about all the #books you love.

A red, powerful sun rises over the Idaho prairie after a short summer night. Some cumulus clouds partially cover the sky. The land looks still dark, but the orange light has begun to inundate everything.

At Xitter and Facebook, scammers claiming to offer “marketing services” to writers are rampant – and like vermin sneaking aboard a ship they're following us here. Let’s stop ‘em with this handy moderation list! #authorsky bsky.app/profile/inventingrea...
