Warning about writing scams seems kind of beside the point right now...but a scam is still a scam. Scammer posing as a literary agent on MSWL & falsely claiming association w/ the Ampersand Agency. Her website is full of lies & a "team" of AI people patchenlucillen.wixsite.com/patche-n/about

❗️Author Event❗️ Head over to @booksonthebosque.bsky.social for “The Music of Creation” book event with Chris Allen & Paul J. Knight this Saturday (Jan 10) at 3pm! #authorevent #localauthor #albuquerque #indiebooks

Kathy just got a wonderful Editor's Pick review from @booklife.bsky.social for John Doe Does Not Suck. "Witty YA vampire mystery explores anxiety, morality, and surprising alliances." booklife.com/project/john...

For those considering using AI/LLMs for their books or book covers. I was just about to mark a book as one I was interested in reading as part of a judging allotment, then didn't due to the use of AI in its cover. You're genuinely missing out on readers (& reviews) when you use this shite

That review is a great summary for why we wanted to publish Ashton's book.

"Not your typical vampire story...blends dark humor as it explores mental health issues in its protagonist while making a provocative statement about what it means to feel human." Win a copy of Kathryn Berla's "John Doe Does Not Suck" from @apbooks.bsky.social www.librarything.com/ner/detail/5...

2025 was a year of highs, lows, and puppy-based slumps for my writing. I'm incredibly thankful for everyone who came out to support my book launch, and excited about the projects I've got coming in 2026. macashton.com/2025/12/30/r... #Writing #Writer #AmWriting #Writers #Books #IndieAuthor

A beautiful collection of book quotes, including one from Cryptid Currency by Josh Berliner! Thank you Jodie for continuing to read, review and be an inspiration to us all!

For anyone who's following the Anthropic class action lawsuit/settlement, this is the best way (this site is the go-to for keeping up with AI lawsuits in general): chatgptiseatingtheworld.com/category/bar...

If you are against GenAI in SFF then we recommend you fill out the SFWA survey. Open to the general public so let them know what you think.

It's nearing the end of the year, so it seems like a good time to revisit a book tag from last December. Here's the My Life in Books Tag: the 2025 edition. Take a look and maybe do your own! #booksky #bookblogger #booktag

"Hawes of TFTRP (Texas Freedom to Read Project) asked a rhetorical question—“Does the First Amendment apply anymore?”—and speculated that in three out of 50 states, it's in big trouble." www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Interesting article on Edelwiss. We were hit with the same price increases, then signed up for a marketing plan that helps, but is still expensive compared to the rates before. It would be nice of there was some competition in the ARC space. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...
