Does anyone get their own books printed offset in bulk? And if so, who you use? Looking for ideas beyond the likes of Clays and BookVault who both look fine but would work with a smaller, local printer who had the capacity or even a bigger one. Looking for a thousand or so books.

£2 PAPERBACK!

If you want a MG Sc-Fi adventure for the younger readers in your life, the Ghosts of Mars paperback is currently only £2 on Amazon!

Literally never been cheaper for a physical book!

Writers, if you ever feel bad about querying your book, and getting rejections, just remember I once put down my genre as male.

The sweetest 2 words to type!

I’ve spent this weekend away from home to finish this book and I’m so pleased I’m finally there - it’s taken a long time and it’s been the hardest book to write and finish (maybe because it’s a sequel?) but it’s done! 🙌

Now the dreaded editing and rewrites! 😭

Ghosts of Mars is only £3! for the paperback - they must have some excess stock or something that they're trying to clear out, so now's a good time to buy!

(PS I still get the same royalties as a £7.99 sale, so it's only the Zon missing out!)

The @write-mentor.bsky.social #newsletter today is full of exciting #writing opportunities. But FW by @stuartwhitewm.bsky.social 'When the Well Runs Dry' resonated most. Last week was busy with family & needed rest. This morn I'm unusually lacking in inspiration.

POV: Ever so occasionally you write a right peach of a page and you wonder where that came from and why the other 249 pages are nowhere near as good!

That’s tonight’s vibe.

Always love to unbox physical copies of my books! Makes it even more real to hold them after they’ve existed only in digital form for so long! 🎉
Box with copies of Storm Rising, a book with a light cover, and the female main character depicted on the front.

Happy Publication Day to me!

And Happy New Year to everyone else!

I decided to do a 'silent launch' for this book, but now it's launched, I hope people will begin to buy it and enjoy it!

Think Frostblood or like a dark, older version of Frozen!
Cover for Storm Rising, a new YA Fantasy from author Stuart White. The cover has a cold, frosted texture for the background with ice-shards covered in red blood. Beneath the title, the tagline says '…blood will freeze'. There is a snowflake design, with some fantasy runs behind it, and a cloaked, hooded, dark figure striding towards the reader, an ice-shard projecting from her hand. Back blurb reads:Eighteen-year-old Corena Storm, feared and cast out by her own parents for her Ice-Witch powers, is sent to the merciless Kurikon—an extremist religious order determined to strip her of magic, believing only the gods should wield such power. But Corena refuses to be broken. Escaping their clutches, she’s thrust into a deadly game of survival, pursued by the relentless Kurikon and the Queen’s elite killing squad. As she fights to stay ahead, she’s forced to rely on unlikely allies—some old enemies, others new friends. When she falls for someone unexpected, Corena’s quest for vengeance beco

You can't let outcomes dictate the wisdom of your decisions.

Sometimes you make the right call but it still doesn't go your way. Just knock it off as experience and double down.

Failure is an important part of progression and you can never improve unless you're willing to fall.
