We writers should not be insulting our brothers and sisters in the visual arts by using AI slop for our covers or in our presentations.

We already had access to photo depositories and stock art and it's easy enough to ask artists if you can reuse their work for a promotional credit.

Hey Bluesky peeps, could you help spread the word?

My Shirley Jackson Award-nominated gothic fiction book THE ATROCITIES is on sale today for $1.99 on Kindle. I have no idea how long this sale will last.

www.amazon.com/Atrocities-J...
This is a photo of a paperback copy of The Atrocities by me (Jeremy C. Shipp). The cover features a creepy old manor house, storm clouds, and a hedge maze. The book is against a brick wall with vines growing around and over the book.

I remember when I didn’t think I could do color art or draw cool environments out of my head but guess what you just have to keep doing it until you can
