The more people we reach, the more this space can do what it was built for: lifting writers, poets, and small presses who deserve to be seen. Every follow, every share gives another voice room to breathe. Help me grow this so we can grow together. #Booksky #IndieAuthors #WritingCommunity

Post 1/3 Small Press Spotlight 📖 Wild Hyacinth Magazine @wildhyacinthmag.bsky.social is a Canadian literary magazine devoted to difficult feelings and hard seasons, publishing fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction with care and intention. #SmallPress #LitMag #Booksky

Of course, Rich. I’m glad it helped even a little. Thanks for taking the time to share more context and the link. Wishing you nothing but support and good vibes. 😎 That’s what community is for. #Booksky

The holiday season can be especially hard on writers trying to get their work into the world. If you can help, share, or boost, this is a good place to do it. Supporting authors doesn’t always mean buying a book, sometimes it’s just showing up. #Booksky #WritersSupportingWriters #IndieAuthors

Post 1/2 ✨ Writer Spotlight ✨ This is Rich Peall @richpeall.bsky.social a BookSky writer working hard to bring his book into the world while dealing with real financial strain. Many of us know how heavy that can be. #Booksky #IndieAuthors

Good morning. Coffee in hand. Bob Dylan on repeat. There is something about his voice in the early hours that feels like a companion. One more cup, one more reason to slow down and listen. Some mornings just belong to Dylan. #GoodMorning #BobDylan #Desire #WritersLife #CoffeeAndWords #Booksky

This is absolutely disgusting. Making things alway about him. Even the death of people as kind and warm as Rob Reiner and his wife were. Just because you disagree with his politics doesn’t mean he doesn’t deserve compassion. Horrible!

As a school teacher, going to write some poetry. This world is way too fucked up for anything else. Killing over political beliefs, ideologies, and random acts of violence against the youngest is heinous. #poetry #teachers #Enough #ProtectChildren #Booksky

Post 1/4 Author Spotlight: Tommy Marcum Southern Gothic, psychological horror, and supernatural fiction rooted in atmosphere, memory, and place. These are stories that don’t rush the scare, they let it settle in and wait. #AuthorSpotlight #HorrorBooks #Booksky

What the hell is wrong with the world. #RobReiner

Post 1/3 This service is free. Always has been. I don’t charge, I don’t sell placement, and I don’t make a cent from it. I can feature writers and presses I discover on my own—but I’d much rather you come forward and say, “Hey, I’d like to be featured.” #Booksky #IndieAuthors

Happy Monday, Bluesky Fresh coffee. Clean page. New sentences waiting to be written. Whether you’re drafting, revising, or just surviving the day, show up anyway. Words don’t need perfection. They need presence. Let’s do this. #MondayMotivation #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #IndieAuthors #Booksky

I’m a poet and this is how my drafts come out, scratched, rewritten, racing the pencil. Anyone else’s brain move faster than their hand can keep up? #poetry #writingprocess #writersofbluesky #amwriting #poets #Booksky

Post 1/3 Indie Press Spotlight 📖 Metachrosis Magazine @metachrosislitmag.bsky.social is an Irish literary magazine celebrating the arts, sciences, and humanities. LGBTQ+ run, thoughtfully curated, and committed to work that crosses disciplines rather than staying neatly boxed. #IndiePress #Booksky

This is truly sad. 😢

Every writer’s inner monologue when a rejection hits: “Dear Sir… this rejection letter needs work.” Petty? Maybe. Accurate? Absolutely. #writinghumor #writinglife #writersofbluesky #amwriting #rejectionletters #Booksky

Quiet anticipation done right Kate Helena @katehalena.bsky.social is teasing Somewhere Between Lies with restraint and confidence. A cover reveal is coming, and if the patience matches the prose, this one’s worth watching closely. #Booksky #IndieAuthor #CoverReveal #WritingCommunity

Post 1/3 Author Spotlight 📚 K.A. Rupp @karsocalwriter.bsky.social writes short fiction with the goal of immersion, stories meant to pull readers in, stir emotion, and linger after the last page. A Collection of Short Tales does exactly that. #AuthorSpotlight #Booksky #BookSky

Happy Sunday, Bluesky. ☀️ I’ll be painting all day 😩 Coffee on repeat, music loud, brush in hand. If you’re writing, resting, or avoiding home projects entirely… enjoy it for me. Wishing you a calm, creative Sunday wherever you are. #SundayVibes #CreativeLife #WritersOfBluesky #Booksky

Maya Angelou didn’t just write poems, she wrote survival into language. Her work carried Black history, womanhood, pain, grace, and defiance with absolute clarity. When she said “I rise,” it wasn’t metaphor. It was truth. #MayaAngelou #BlackPoets #Poetry #LiteraryLegacy #BlackExcellence #Booksky

Free writing is often used to spark interest because it bypasses overthinking. When the inner editor steps aside, curiosity takes over and ideas surface naturally. Momentum builds first, meaning can come later. This video explains it clearly if you want more. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #Booksky

Post 1/3 Author Spotlight 📚 Dr. Beyond @deptofmetaphysics.bsky.social is returning to publishing after years marked by surgeries, illness, and recovery. Instead of stepping away, he adapted—reshaping full novels into focused novellas. This is perseverance in real time. #AuthorSpotlight #Booksky

Author Spotlight Adam (@acpbooks.bsky.social) writes children’s picture books centered on friendship, courage, and emotional warmth. His work proves that writing for kids isn’t “simple”, it’s purposeful, thoughtful, and quietly powerful. #ChildrensBooks #PictureBooks #IndieAuthor #KidLit #Booksky

Its always fun to write children's picture books about friendship and courage, a great calming separation from my normal writing. So this 3 in a series story of friendship should be out just in time for Christmas! #writing #pictures #friends

📚 Author Spotlight Meet Tracy Carol Taylor, a children’s & young adult author writing imaginative, heart-driven stories for young readers. Her work blends warmth, curiosity, and gentle adventure, stories made to be lived inside. #Booksky #AuthorSpotlight #IndieAuthors @tracytaylorbooks.bsky.social

Small presses doing it right deserve the mic. WoodPig Press is a new micro-press focused on speculative fiction and nonfiction, and they’re opening submissions Jan 5, 2026. But it’s how they’re doing it that matters. Pay attention. #Booksky #SmallPress #IndiePublishing

If you don’t know Breece D’J Pancake, you should. One short story collection. A handful of published works. And prose so raw it feels unearthed rather than written. Appalachia, poverty, silence, and people who don’t get rescued. This is American literature. #Booksky #HiddenWriters #LiteraryDiscovery

Blackbird A poem about clipped wings, stolen voices, and the quiet rise of retribution. The kind of truth we’re not supposed to say out loud. #BlackVoices #RacialJustice #SystemicOppression #ResistancePoetry #PoetsOfBluesky #WritersOfBluesky #SocialCommentary #Booksky

This is why I’m here on Bluesky, as a poet, an author, and someone who believes in lifting up voices that deserve to be heard. #WritingCommunity #IndieAuthors #PoetryCommunity #AmWriting #SmallPress #QueerWriters #BIPOCAuthors #AuthorSupport #BookDiscovery #WritersOfBluesky #Booksky

Tracy Chapman has always been more than a musician, she’s a poet who chose a guitar. Talkin’ ’Bout a Revolution reads like protest poetry: spare lines, sharp repetition, nothing to soften the truth. Her restraint is the craft. #TracyChapman #ProtestPoetry #MusicHistory #LiteraryAnalysis #Booksky
