The most common question I get asked is: “What’s your best writing advice?” I’ve attempted to answer: open.substack.com/pub/alwaysji...

thank you for making THE SHARD AND THE SERPENT by Jinapher J. Hoffman a number one bestseller in Canada & Australia😭☠️💫🙌🏻💙📚 we’ve also stayed in the top 100 of all her categories in the states for about a month now. Numbers certainly aren’t everything, but as an indie author, I’m so grateful!!

I finally started my personal writing journal on Substack for fellow writers🥰 it’s a space where I plan to be messy, enjoy the ride, and reflect on everything I’ve built. If you’re interested, you can find the first post below: alwaysjinapher.substack.com/p/the-endura... 📚💙

THE SHARD & THE SERPENT is almost hereeeee 📚💙 #romance #books #fantasy #scifi

apparently my author newsletter is Rising in Fiction on Substack🤭📚🔥

dating is fun. it’s so nice erasing his mind, making him beg to know my name, having him hunt me through the forest and string me up in an abandoned stable to be devoured. Like he really gets ME you know? I mean I hate him, but well…pros and cons.

The indie author podcast episode that’s most requested is one on marketing. So drop your questions. I’ll accumulate all the ones I get across my social platforms and build an episode around what YOU need answers to. (This is for proseandperil.substack.com btw) #booksky #writer

can I convince you to preorder my next book🤭 (the shard & the serpent)

THE SHARD AND THE SERPENT🥵 when I tell you I’m obsessed, I mean I have a 6 hour playlist, multiple Pinterest boards, notebooks filled with tension-riddled scenes, and actively talk into voice memos about it. Writing a book, I’m convinced, is a form of insanity☺️😂 but damn I love it💙📚

#booksky 💙📚🪐

More of you found me hey hey — I’m the girl writing a multiverse inspired by a magic system of inherent female rage. You’ll find echoes of it in main characters and/or in the world, the histories, etc. I’m also the girl behind Dark Mode Stuff Your Kindle. It’s nice to digitally meet you 💙📚🪐

friendly reminder that indie authors are often backed into corners to use kindle unlimited, audible, and goodreads. So if you decide to migrate, at least sign up to some of your fav indies email newsletters to find new ways to support them💙📚

drop your KU book recs 💙📚 I need to disappear

Can someone drop manifestation techniques for majorly anxious, highly impatient people? Because this whole sitting cross legged with my eyes closed thing is only leading to mind spirals 🥲👍🏻

In case you need something mindless and entertaining to binge with an undertone of fuck the government ~ my Fates of Mirror trilogy is on KU🥲✌🏻 if you want something darker and tragic tho to sit in your feels, try my Alchemight Duology😫🔥 💙📚🪐

so who else keeps opening their TikTok app out of habit only to be faced with heartache

The end of an era. BookTok single-handedly gave me the courage to publish, to showcase a multiverse I’d kept in notebooks for years. Idk what the future holds, but I’m so grateful to the BookTok community. I’m no one. Literally an unknown indie author. But you made me feel like I was the dream

Let’s see how videos do on bluesky…here’s a quick intro I filmed for the end days of booktok but I also think it’s a good ‘at a glance’ for me as an indie author 💙📚

#booksky 💙📚 “The Shard & The Serpent” passed 1100 preorders!! Thank you so much💗😭 this is one of my FAVORITE scenes🫠🔥 be sure to follow for more🥳

Considering going “wide” with my next book. Are there any fantasy authors here who’ve made the switch and can tell me if it’s worth it from a strategic business pov? For transparency: about 75% of my income is Kindle Unlimited and going wide means leaving KU, so it’s a big risk for me🤔💙📚

Okay I joined RedNote (or apparently it’s actually RedBook) and the vibes so far remind me of when I first joined BookTok. It feels small but in a big way and it’s actually helping soothe my anxiety a little

The way I feel so incredibly stretched thin and completely without community. Everyone I’ve followed for the last few years are all in different places. I’ve created accounts on 8+ apps in the last 24 hours. Tbh, I’m feeling so defeated. Trying to remain positive but damn.

Marketing is hard as a chaotic Pisces. Like don’t ask me to niche down. Please love my smutty as hell superhero novel as much as my grimdark epic tragic fantasy novels

I just spiraled so hard about the tiktok ban I drove to a random parking lot in the middle of nowhere. To the indie authors—I’m feeling it but we can do this. We WILL continue to make space in this world for our books 💙📚

Oh heyyy there’s 1k of you here now. My name is Jinapher. I’m building a multiverse of feminine rage called Wrathos. I’m also the creator of Dark Mode Stuff Your Kindle. Welcome to my chaos. 💙📚

To be so for real, I write all day long, the last thing I want to do is come up with short, witty text promos so I may just post videos here🥲 I want to leave meta and build a following elsewhere, but where??? I need it to be video based…I thought YT shorts, but I post spicier excerpts most times

5 DAYS😈🖤📚

wtf dark mode books just hit 112,000 subscribers🤯 DarkModeSYK.com

YAY 🪐📚💙 we reached 800 preorders of The Shard and The Serpent!! Thank you so much🫂🙌🏻

it’s crazy to me we are nearing 800 preorders. you all have blown away every expectation I had for this book and idk I just feel so incredibly grateful that you’ve found me 🪐📚💙 here’s a fun, spicy snippet to say thanks

*taps mic* Hey. 👋🏼

my last book was a tragedy. my next is a smutty feral we’re-killing-to-LOVE-by-Nat-King-Cole dark scifi romantasy. I traumatized myself so hard with my books I had to do a 180 to save some semblance of my sanity…this is just to say I’m sorry to my readers b/c if I’m hurting then you must be😂

Spotify Wrapped during a major drafting year is HILARIOUS. Seeing “oh you listened to this one instrumental song a million times boo, are you okay?” is like reliving those nightmare potholes all over again😁🔥

*me specifically picking up an enemies to lovers trope* “Oh they hate each other dang…man, he really did her wrong…oh she…OH…OH WAIT…THEY’RE KISSING!!!…They’re—THEY’RE—oh…OH!!!”

what is the main way you “find” new books now? Video recs? Specific search terms? I’m genuinely curious

Good morning #booksky ☺️ I get to ‘break ground’ on Project W today

95% of the comments on viral videos for my books are “my TBR is a 100 miles long so why not”. There’s something menacing and yet beautiful about how we will all collectively be reading into our graves but those TBRs will continue on to guilt trip the next readers and writers. Cruel, beautiful books.

The freewrite traveler — worth it or a gimmick? #writer #author 💙📚

I love it when a new idea just completely possesses me into going into hyperdrive, building the entire thing, only to come out of a cave unshowered 3 days later with a grim “it is done” announcement to my partner. “What is?” They ask. Dead in the eyes: “no one will ever know. I hate it.”
