A plea from someone who follows many artists here, in part to locate illustrators for special projects: If you're capable of finding beauty in larger bodies, please make that evident in your portfolio? Otherwise, how can I know whether you're willing/able to illustrate non-straight-size people?

Hi folks! I built a digital library database where I store all the books I own and have read over the years! so if you're as obsessed with organising as me, you might find this useful! π
p.s, it's free to use but you'll need to make an airtable account to edit!

xoxopublishinggg 3h The Bookseller, UK publishing's leading trade publication have today published a ranking of the 'top' 30 editors, based on sales figures and prize listings. Real nice Xmas present for all the burnt-out editors in our industry who work our arses off for little money and are constantly at risk of redundancy if we don't perform to impossible standards. God forbid we're human and have a bad year. No shade on the excellent editors (at least the ones that aren't Tories and/or bullies) selected but come the fuck on. Gonna rank the bookseller journalists based on the number of press releases they rehash and churn out a year, see how they like it
Well said, this person. For the few 'winners', everyone else becomes a 'loser', despite the fact that the criteria used don't make sense for every book and take no account of the wildly differing circumstances - person power, pr capacity, marketing budgets, rights deals and so much moreβ¦
Thank you Darren @harper360.bsky.social for the proof copy of Dream Girl Drama by Tessa Bailey π₯° had to match my nails to the book π π½
3 years ago today was the cover reveal for Scarred lol

Me when I look at them together:
i might have to pin this: aspiring authors: an ai generated avatar is doing you no favors in the author community. just some food for thought.
the other day this person got on tiktok to make fun of Harlequin category romances they found in B&N. glad to see that backfired and now people are checking them out. a reminder that tiktok and wattpad didnt invent the romance genre.
Authors love libraries. Please use them. Please support them.
Libraries are amazing. π
