Shiori Ito's documentary [Black Box Diaries] was nominated for an academy award
It's about her rape and the cover-up by politicians
Most of the Japanese media ignored the case in 2017
I was grateful my editor at @TheDailyBeast supported our reporting on the story

Hey Indie Author Peeps:
I got a cold call from a publishing company called IndieLit Catalogue.
Looking at their site, it seems scammy, and googling turns up a couple of stories that aren’t good, but aren’t damning, either.
Any of my Indie Author pals have any experience with them?

Yesterday morning I noticed a seller out of Greece trying to intercept sales on my book. I sent them a message just in case, but figured I'd follow up with Amazon.

I know others have said this, but if you love a series, BUY THE BOOKS AS THEY COME OUT. You can go on a reading spree later, but for the love of god, buy the books now.

Here's the thing: Without their authors constantly shouting about their own work, indie books are voiceless. We don't have marketing teams or legions of fans. We've got ourselves and, if we're lucky, a handful of friends who share our stuff. So if you see an indie promo, throw 'em a bone and repost.

You absolutely do not need to read a whole book or finish a book to review it. If your experience was that the book didn't work for you and you DNFd, that's a perfectly fair thing to review.
