You know, Santa’s bag still has a few copies of @nicksnapeauthor.bsky.social ‘s first 3 ebooks in The Wrecking Squad! Open to any authors or readers who are interested! I’ve reviewed and loved them! 💚📚💨 Reply here!!

I just thought you authors of the first entrants to Project Phoenix would like to hear the feedback from MY boss, after.. 6 hrs of handing the books out? 😉🤩📚💨

I’ll break the suspense - @williamjadams3.bsky.social book was the first one asked for. That cover paying in spades! The second before I left for the weekend was @ctphipps.bsky.social . This guy didn’t even tell me prior he was a reader. My man locked eyes with “Cthulhu” and put a hand out. 😂

And just like that, 7 self published EXCELLENT books from authors you should check out reach new readers! Well done, wordsmiths. 💚🫂📚 Bets on which one gets asked for first??

I have a longer post coming for each author but this needed to go up today. First delivery of Project Phoenix books to its Shelf in an Addiction Rehabilitation Facility Library! I’ll expand more below! ⬇️🧵💨

Thank you Cory at Tailwind Projects! Go follow for more bookish content and hype. We love to see it! PS. Cover designer is David Gardias, who deserves all praise!

This is how Tailwind communicates with artists, creatives, and paid contractors for us as a whole. I'm showing you a screenshot of the DM for full transparency. Before money changes hands, expect some scrutiny. You should expect it of me, I should expect it of you. It's just professional.

This week I'm putting up the photos of the first 7 books for the Tailwind Project's heading, Project Phoenix! These are going to the campus library of a substance abuse rehab in Upstate New York! The shelves of this library aren't your typical, but the need is certainly as great. ⬇️

Did YOU vote for your favorite Indie books of the year?! *You should, there's a lot of cool entries. My personal favorite category is Wittiest Character.. A thread of great reads from JUST this one grouping!! 💚📚🧵 www.indiestorygeek.com/a/indie-ink-...

In typical Bookfolk fashion, here’s my first two book delivery boxes: 2: books I already own but not THIS version! 2: books I’ve already read digitally but wanted physical of. 4: books I’ve bought with far more ambition than time. 8 books arrived today. 😂📚💙 #BookSky

Project Phoenix has the 1st Shelf to receive books at an Addiction Rehab’s onsite location. Project Homecoming has the 1st Shelf at a LIBRARY ready to accept books, spoke to the Library Director by phone today. 😁 Project Reverse Isekai’s debut author got their physical proofs today. We rollin 🦾

We bought a bunch of books today for our first physical Project that’s starting.. it’ll be ongoing! It’s an organization that needs a steady supply of all kinds of books. See the post down below with the Shelf details!

This is a One Man Band of organization, communication, and accounting. Been burning that candle at both ends for a couple weeks to make this happen. 😁 It’s a real perspective of what you creative folks have to do solo. 🫂 I’ll be making purchases tomorrow and Friday for Project Reverse Isekai. 😁

This is actually open to all #authors . If this fits YOUR book or a Self Published Romance 💝 or Spicy 🌶️ book you know! I have a Project that needs Physical copies of these books on an ongoing basis. DM or reply to me links, this Project is LIVE and OPEN! 🚨💨🚀

If I’ve worked with you on the @flameinc.bsky.social account with an ARC - offered or finished, and you have a link where if I click “BUY NOW!” I can be reliably assured money will leave my account and a physical book will arrive, Please message me any way you know how before Friday. 😁

I may have neglected.. to link my own GoodReads for this? It’s not really necessary, as this Thing isn’t about me.. but it occurs that people may be curious what I read. www.goodreads.com/user/show/70...

Who else has ebooks on sale for .99 this month? Who’s got a book launch this month? Drop me links!! #BookSky 💚📚💨

We think this looks rad! Bought both. 😁

Been reading way too many eBooks recently so giving my eyes a break and am going to switch over to a physical book. Also, Chris says I can't buy any more physical books until I read one, which honestly that's valid.

What a wonderful thing to see on my way to bed 🥰🥰🥰 thanks so much, @thebookwyrmshoard2.bsky.social!!

Hello, friends. We are Hook & Quill Press, an indie press representing a collective of indie authors, unabashedly authentic and celebrating our unique selves. We believe in uplifting writers, investing in our community, and working to help each other accomplish our goals.

I likely won’t respond till after this weekend, but do I have any voice actors or ones who’d like to give it a go among my folks? Small Project, under 4 min of VO. Will require you to do your own recording, and remove my voice from the existing video. Credit yourself/site before and after + $$. 🎤

In our home we have a tradition to present books for Christmas. My 12yo got at least one book every year on Christmas since she was 1. Do you also give books for Christmas? Here’s me, trying to help you this year! All my paperbacks and hardcovers will be ON SALE for 12 days! I hope that helps 🙂 💙📚

I’m mostly going offline for a bit of the weekend. I’ll leave you this that I worked up and did a rough draft of tonight. A good end to Week 2. 💚🫂📚

***** Just as a notice to head off concern - you may see me engage with questionable spam bots. It’ll happen often I’m certain. Feel free to identify them (thank you) if you know for sure! I’ve a Masters in IT/Business. I’ll poke at the bots to illicit responses to better 🗡️ ‘em. We good 🫡😈

This is our entire philosophy. Go buy some stickers! 😁

Happy to be a judge in the SPSFC again this year! Hope to meet all the participants after and wish them the very best! @spsfc.bsky.social #spsfc

Your reminder that this Project is still Live and we’ve got more to give away! Reply here if you’re interested in Nick’s awesome sci-fi series, we’re sending ebooks of titles 1-3 out to celebrate the launch of book 4! I’m in the middle of book 3 at the moment! bsky.app/profile/nick...

In case we didn’t make our stance on AI clear - this is so gross. 🤢

Temporary images added so people don’t think we’re a spam account. Taking suggestions for funnier placeholders. 😂

I already had about 2 dozen ideas banked to apply to this effort. Yet tonight, and I’ll ink my own quill here, I had a real humdinger. You’re gonna love what’s next. 😁

If you’re new here from my personal account (this bookperson ⬇️), hello! I followed a LOT of Starter Packs from folks I trust in the community and who hold the Champion torch up for ALL the self published and indie authors. 🫂💚📚 Take a look around, we’re on Day 8 but already gave some Projects live!

We’ve been talking to these lovely folks who are doing awesome work with animal shelters! New to BlueSky but we sense there’s some weather on the horizon as we decide on a Project.. Check em out. 😁 bsky.app/profile/pena...

Good afternoon bookfolk! A FREE deal?? Who doesn’t want free? We don’t have a Project with @ctphipps.bsky.social yet but we DO know all their friends.. Kindly check it out. 😁

The reviews are starting to roll in for Locks & Keys, A Fantasy Anthology by The Secret Scribes! Uncover the secrets on October 28th!

It’s now dawning on me that between the people I asked for help, those involved in the project, and those helping get the word out by reposting - we’re reaching somewhere north of 250k people on Day 1. 😮

We may not have mentioned that I’m ALSO a judge in the @spsfc.bsky.social again this year! I’m an experienced ARC reader and review writer so I’m used to communicating with self published authors especially! If you don’t already follow this really cool sci-fi contest, you should be! spsfc.space

I will do another post more about me, my background, why I’m doing this, etc later.. I’m exhausted! Creating a thing is hard! Authors are freakin superhero aliens powered by a foreign sun.. 😮‍💨😂📚

It’s.. uhh.. been a busy week! Hi! I’m Cory! You may know me as @flameinc.bsky.social . I’m the one behind this passion project. We’ve skipped leaps and bounds and went straight to wormholes for progress: Here’s what happened this week! I am GUARANTEED to forget something: 💨🚀 See below! 👇

This is REALLY COOL and involves one of our friends! No account, easy click. You got our vote. 😁

Coward got picked as the December read for the Willow Wraith Press Indie Bookclub! You guys have no idea how happy and grateful I am about this! Gonna link @williamjadams3.bsky.social's original post here, with all the info: bsky.app/profile/will...

THE WHISPER THAT REPLACED GOD PART II by @timwolffauthor.bsky.social did just about everything I wanted this sequel to do (review to come). AN INKLING OF FLAME by @zbsteele.bsky.social a last-minute addition that had a lot of heart (review to come).

Nov. reading! 💙📚🪐 DIGITAL RAVENS by SK Putt was a fun cyberpunk novella with some cool action and hacking (reviewed on FanFiAddict). A SWIFT AND SUDDEN EXIT by @nicovincenty.bsky.social was a great sapphic romance novel structured around some fun time travel shenanigans (reviewed on FanFiAddict).

We realize that our welcome message took several of you unawares and sounded like the secret handshake of the Brotherhood of Final Judgment and Sacrifice.. it isn’t. 😂 Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Our ethos is this: Stories are the most vital souls in the universe. They are how we - Remember. Grow. Communicate. Teach. Express. Preach. Testify. If the testimony of our lives produces anything that endures beyond death - it is stories. We will give breath and aid to legion. 💨

Oh oops, maybe the BIG Project gets announced today! Our most ambitious yet, fully funded, ready to put a well loved book into reader’s hands! Tailwind Projects originated from our desire to work with this self-published author more.. we think you’ll love it. 😍 📚💙

We’re still building out what we’d like to offer first… but I’ll give you a hint. It involved googling how many public library systems there are in our founder’s home state❗️ 23. It’s only(?) 23. That’s a much more reasonable number than anticipated.. 🧐📚💨
