Btw, me sharing this isn't an endorsement. I have no idea how these companies treat their writers. I'm just sharing it cos I found it and it's writing related. ALWAYS VET COMPANIES AND CONTRACTS.

ZipRecruiter Find millions of jobs from thousands of job boards, staffing agencies, recruiting firms and company web sites on ZipRecruiter.

Found this on ZipRecruiter this morning & thought I'd share in case anyone is looking for a gig! ReelShort (those tropey "vertical" romance shorts) is looking for a screenwriter with 5 years of experience!

New on the Anthropic settlement from the @authorsguild.org : over 91% (!!) of eligible books were claimed as of the claims deadline (I would not have predicted such a high number!)

The Self Publishing Show (Episode 443) Draft2Digital's New Charge! YouTube video by Learn Self Publishing

A podcast. Here's their latest episode that I expounded upon in the thread: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntx3...

I really just need to stop listening. Anyone else got better author biz podcast recs? I already listen to SPA Girls too.

So, basically, unless you run your career exactly like THEY do, you're wrong and overly emotional lol. But "please please don't criticize us for using AI cos it hurts our fweelings. Can't we all just get along?!?!?" 🙄

"Get on the AI train now or be left behind. Stop criticizing people who use it! But also you're all complainers and crazy for being upset about D2D's changes and I can't believe you'd leave over that!"

The Self Publishing Show podcast has become such a joke.

The Firefly Journey: Gender and Sexuality Exploration Later in Life - Sex and Psychology This year at the SPSP Sexuality Pre-Conference, a project that stood out to me was Dr. Mallory Hanfling’s project on “fireflies,” or people who learn about their gender and/or sexuality later in life....

Our sexuality isn’t always crystallized by the time we reach adulthood. “Fireflies” are people who learn about their gender and/or sexuality later in life. www.sexandpsychology.com/blog/2026/4/...

Age verification is coming for the internet — and it’s already raising red flags Legislative efforts to age-gate parts of the internet are gaining traction. Some experts warn of compliance complications and data security breaches.

"Every single time an age authentication mandate goes into effect, the internet shrinks some." — @ericgoldman.bsky.social

Oh yeah, the marketing is basically non-existent at publishers now, especially if you're a smaller name. But even bigger names are expected to make videos on the daily for socials.

Ugh, publishers can be so annoying!

(Not a problem in ebooks tbh, but I'm using physical for this research 😭)
