Hey, friends, I need your help for a fellow indie author:
We're looking for someone who can provide a sensitivity read for a Mexican American character. The author wants general support in how the character and his family are portrayed in this contemporary romance. Paid, of course.
Thank you!
Hi, do not allow so called "publishing professionals" convince you to spend more than you can afford.
If you are indie author you can absolutely go back and upgrade your backlist later.
Indie authors do it all the time. Publish the best way you can right now and scale up later.
If you're also a published Canadian and looking to raise the profile of your work, please join me in this showcase.

I NEED HELP!
Please take this quick, meaningless 19 question survey so I can get data for my students to learn stats!
I did a similar version a few months ago but missed an important question type. Even if you did the old one, please do it again!
Please circulate widely!

Yesterday's main personal task was a trip to the post office to mail a copy of The Last Gift-Knight to the writing farm. Bundled with that: a dated and autographed note thanking them for operating so that the book could be written there.

This had been part of my initial world building concept circa 2006 and for some forgotten reason I decided not to roll with it.
📝 Dear Black women authors, I’m giving away free copyediting services for six folks. After watching all the racist hate Black women authors endured through Black History Month, I wanted to do something positive.
Let’s lift Black women authors up! Not tear them down.

We are drowning in medical bills and have to somehow afford an upcoming move that we're being forced into. It is getting harder and harder to keep fighting.
Every donation makes a huge difference. 💜
Thanks friend

Funny thing is, the early concepts of the shopping mall were very much intended to be community spaces, not just with stores, but with meeting rooms and other places for people to gather.

Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.
