when did they add messaging here? nooo, take it BACK we have contact forms for a reason, I cannot deal with being messaged without context 😭

psst it would be really cool if we were able to release another edition of Quiet Writers this year we didn't get to last year because we only got 2 submissions all year, but they are still open if anyone wants to... y'know... think about it Also if you wanna check out the previous editions...

"Something outside your usual genres" This can be "not your main go-to genre", or "Something weird & a little different" Indie authors, tell me about your WEIRD books. Abnormal, whacky, unexpected. - Author name - Book title - age category - genre - Where to find it - What makes it weird/unusual?

My novels are finally up on Itchio! Short stories and a novelette will be up soon as well, but for now, you can find The Requiem Series so far and my last release, It's Only A Little Death: shaneblackheart.itch.io #itchio #queerbooks #transbooks

"Local author" was a bit hard to make a rec list for... So I'll probably just make a blog post like "Hey, we made a map of indie authors to help folks meet this particular prompt, and hopefully it helps!" (also if you're not on the indie author map, maybe this is your sign to join)

Hey! Quiet Writers is a project for promoting self-published & indie authors (rec lists, reviews, author interviews, Insta tours), and publishing collections of short stories & poetry We also set up an Indie Author Map We won't be super active here, but will pop in when we can

The Requiem Series is based on my life as a trans trauma survivor, & the books are close to my heart. They feature a disabled trans man MC's struggle with severe mental illness as he finds the strength to overcome his trauma. He's also plural, & his ace alter goes through a pretty drastic change...
