As an autistic author - and just person, for that matter - it's important to me to advocate for people like and from other marginalised communities. So it's an honour for me to be taking part in this Diverse Fantasy & Sci-Fi giveaway.

Remember - every project with The Book Bazaar supports indie authors and small presses and trust me, we can all use it a lot right now! We thank you all SO MUCH for your support in all ways - follows, reposts, shares, and yes of course actual pledges! We can't wait to kick this off on Nov. 12th!

JUST FIVE DAYS TO GO until the Book Bazaar and the Hero 10th Anniversary campaign kick off!!! Eek! I have yet to earn my top hat, but if you wanna help a girl out... I'm totally cool that 🙃 #bookbazaar #indieauthor #backerkit #crowdfunding #scifi

You gotta be in it to win it! And there are some awesome books in this prize pack. #booksky #sci-fi

I'm still trying to clear the decks so I can concentrate on my WIP in November! I'm getting closer to getting the current one off to the editor... just one more big scene to go. #FirstDraftFall

Wow... awesome art!

WE NEED YOUR QUESTIONS!!! Writer people, this time it's your turn to ask the questions! The amazing Amara Lynn is hosting a Q&A about their sci-fi romance novel that they cowrote with their best friend, and they want your questions!! #scifi #writesky #indieauthors #writingcommunity

Today is the last day to fill out our sign-up sheet if you want to get involved and contribute towards our month-long event celebrating indies! Find the sign-up sheet here: forms.gle/1zCrRVqgvxpr...

Well... I had to go deep in the manuscript to find this one. Much like Nai in this snippet, I'm not sure how I feel about that! 😀 This is from my epic fantasy, which is slowly nearing completion. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingPrompts

I made a shiny for the Hero's upcoming 10th Anniversary this November. It's better with the sound on. The anniversary is happening as part of #BookBazaar25, along with a heap of other cool projects. #scifi #booktrailer #YAfiction #indieauthor

NEW PIN? NEW PIN! Nov 12th, join me during @the-book-bazaar.com as I raise funds for physical copies of my cozy sci-fi friendship novella The Lucky Machine. Come join us as we make questionable fashion choices, build a robot, draw a butt, and more! 🤖 #TLM #Scifi 💙📚 #Robots #IndieAuthor

What?! You want me to think about actual science?! *phst* Never let science get in the way of a good story. 🤪 #TBBChat

Hero would be a rouge cyborg, malfunctioning because of quirky code, with a massive chip on her shoulder... Strikingly similar to Murderbot actually, but pissed off and on a mission. #TBBChat

No, Hero doesn't have any robots in it, although it does have a planetary AI. For this story, I decided to go more for a biological/DNA based technology, with animals engineered to perform tasks. I make up for it in follow-up trilogy, with giant mechs and living ships. #TBBChat #BookBazaar25

Hey #TBBChat! I'm Belinda and I love me some robots, the really big kaiju-fighting kind. I occasionally write robots, but mostly I write about AIs and explosions and girls kicking butt.

#BookSky, I have a question! Name a book where you enjoyed the movie/TV series more. I'll go first... #ADiscoveryOfWitches. Boom, there, I said it. I spent most of book 1 waiting for Diana to be awesome only to be woefully disappointed. Somehow, the TV series managed to avoid that.

For #FirstDraftFall I'm gonna (attempt) to finish the first draft of Demons & Battleskirts 2 but that means I have to get my current WIP off to my editor, so I'm working on that. #WritingCommunity

I'm following ALL of them... but you know.. I'm not biased or anything 'cause I have a book in the event 🤪 #IndieAuthor #SmallPress #WriteSky #BookSky

I'm using this space to spruik @spsfc.bsky.social annual search for judges! If you're an avid reader and/or reviewer and love #scifi this has your name written all over it. And you never know, you might just come across a #cdrama inspired entry... *cough* mine *cough* #booksky #cdramachat #spsfc

Hey #cdrama #kdrama #jdrama and #bl fans, I got questions and it's once more time for #cdramachat! Before we get started, introduce yourself! What’s your fave type of drama? I like cdrama and kdrama equally. Don't forget to QRP and tag #cdramachat so we can find you!

FREEDOM IS A CHOICE. Join the Rebellion. The Hero Rebellion turns 10 this year and I'm breaking out the confetti and celebrating with a special hardcover edition featuring a hidden cover! 📅 Launching Nov 12 on BackerKit. 👉 Follow now #HeroRebellion #DefiantMultiverse #scifi #booksky #BookBazaar25

I'm watching Melody of Golden Age again. Historical detective dramas with female detectives are my catnip, but I'm also rediscovering how awesome the other female power players are, the Dowager Empress in particular. What are you watching? #cdrama

You know you need more books on your TBR pile, so you should totally check out these pretty, pretty news ones, coming this November. You're welcome. #BookBazaar25

This has got to be the best short story title EVER!

*waving a pocket watch back and forth* follow the boombride campaign... follow the campaiiiiignnnn. Follooooowwwwwww and enjoyyyyyy #tbbchat

I guess I'll talk about the visual novel I'm soloing! It's my first foray into gamedev and it's about 1/3 completed. It'll be 2500~ words and free so watch this space 👉👈 #TBBChat

Thanks! @monstersandmaidens.bsky.social for a fun #TBBChat and as always! if anyone wants to check out my series, I have free short stories and all my other links here👇https://linktr.ee/gscwrites

Thanks for the fun questions #TBBChat! I had a blast 😊 My Dragon Booster-inspired #sff trilogy is turning 10 this year, and I'm celebrating by launching a special edition hardcover in November! If mutant animal companions, street races and epic heroines are your thing, check it out. #BookBazaar25

Yes! I have a gothic xianxia-inspired romantasy brewing in the back of my brain, plus many many others. #TBBChat #cdrama

A goddess. I know, not a species, unless we're getting into #cdrama land, but it's the only option I'll consider. And technically, I'm already the reigning deity of my own universe so... not much of a stretch! #TBBChat

Ummm... bestselling author of epic stories?? Can I keep my job? I like my job, it just needs to pay more bills. Alternatively, I'd be an urban explorer, digging up secrets of the first colonists and ferreting out conspiracies. I hate camping, so exploring the planet's surface is out. #TBBChat

Totally. The world of Jørn, an alien planet in the far side of our galaxy, was inspired by a cartoon called Dragon Booster. Kids would ride dragons in street races in a city above the ruins of an ancient war. I loved it and I desperately wanted to write my own version... so I did. #TBBChat #sff

I'm Belinda a #cdrama addict, author of fast-paced #sff, Chaos Monkey and (currently) a dog lounge 🤪 #TBBChat

Wow! 300 followers?! That's amazing! I wouldn't want 300 people at my house. This one's for the writers! Share with us (in a reply) an excerpt from a piece of writing you REALLY love! Please: No AI, repost, be social, add alt text to images #Writing #Writer #ArtShare #WritingShare #IndieAuthor

If you happen to be canceling streaming services for whatever reason, maybe throw a few bucks to a creative's Patreon or Ko-fi. Many have monthly tiers starting as low as $1, which may not sound like much, but if they get enough sign-ups, it could be life-changing money for those living on the edge.

I have been working on "upgrading" the covers for The Hero Rebellion, in prep for the upcoming 10th anniversary Nexus Edition hardcover launching this November. I'm not afraid to say that book 2 (Riven) has been kicking my arse, but I THINK I have it nailed. Finally. #booksky #art

Honestly? I just started watching Echoes of Self and I love the FL as Empress in the first episode. In the 10mins she reigns, she kicks butt and takes names. My kind of woman. #dramajobchallenge #cdrama

I love a pretty cover.

A good read. I've been getting hit by a lot of these lately. Who else is experiencing the same? #writingCommunity

What's my favourite #kdrama #cdrama #jdrama #bl portrayal of an idol? Ooo... I'm picking Kong Tae Seong from Sh**ting Stars. I love that series. #dramajobchallenge

Looking for something to fill the NaNoWriMo-shaped voice in your life? Check out #FirstDraftFall, our challenge to write a first draft in the fall, separated into three parts: October - Planning November - Drafting December (until the 12th) - Wrapping up See the full schedule at the link below!

What character permanently altered your brain chemistry? Maybe it's because I'm watching Alien: Earth but... the resurrection is my fave

I'm watching Alien: Earth and... I love that they've kept the retro computers #sff #aliens

AYO! That's yours truly hosting #TBBChat and y'all should be there or be square.

I got a little extreme and took a week off work. I'm going to sleep and do author stuff. I already feel amazing. #WeeknightWriters

#SFFChat A4: can I cheat and say I've equally loved and hated writing almost every part of this draft so far? 😂 WHOA IS ME I KNOW. I'll share this opening to Narok's first chapter as one of my favs.

#SFFChat I love writing off-the-cuff dialogue that flows naturally and demonstrates all the characters' personalities. It's one of the best ways for characters to surprise me and open up new parts of their backstories to explore and develop.

Thanks for the space #SFFChat! If you enjoyed that excerpt from Pariah (Q4) and want more powerful heroines telling the world to 🦆 off, The Hero Rebellion 10th Anniversary celebration is happening this November during #BookBazaar25! Check it out! www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...
