99 with less than two hours left! 👀 Will you be number 100???? www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t...

WE DID IT!!!!! WE RAISED $50k FOR INDIES AND SMALL PRESSES!!! WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! 🥂🥳🎉

Tooonight (this afternoon) we'll be doing a closeout stream with a few authors in The Book Bazaar. We'll be starting at 3 PM EST and countdown until the end of the project. Come chat with us, celebrate with us, and have a good time with us! www.twitch.tv/thebookbazaar

Someone has put in a pledge for my 'ebooks for life' tier!! You absolute legend, you! This could also be you! With 5 hours left on the campaign and 98 backers 👀 But there's also a £1 tier if you want your name in the credits 😉 Go go go: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t...

Winter doesn't really exist in The Chosen One Con, but there is a domain in my Cruel Gods books that is exclusively winter... and oh, is it harrowing and plagued by the undead 😉 Some of them are nice when you get to know them, I'm sure.

It's true... we're so close to a stretch goal unlocking an absolute unit of a pin. It'll be a fulfillment nightmare. It'll fit none of our current packaging. But it's also really, really cool

Less than 9 hours left on the crowdfund for The Chosen One Con, and honestly, I'm super pleased with where it's at! I hit my unofficial stretch goal, which means the full edits will be covered. But if you don't want to miss out, there's still time to pledge! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t...

Happy Wednesday everyone! AMoRaR is over, but we're still around. Today, we've got a review of The World-Maker Parable by @luketarzian.bsky.social www.readindiefantasy.com/book-review-... #BookSky

My tip when self-publishing is to ask for an editing sample, most freelance editors will offer one.

I hate AI, but I hate JKR way more.

What's this? Did... Did I hear right? THE BOOK BAZAAR IS 100% FUNDED? ALL 22 PROJECTS? HAVE FUNDED???????? OMGGGGGGG THIS IS SO AMAZING Y'ALL WE DID IT!!! There's still 16 hours to pledge for INDIES! LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO

In my efforts to try more random fruit, I bought a pomelo, only googling afterward that it's a bit like grapefruit. I hate grapefruit 😂 But I just tried it and it's not bad!

The Chosen One Con has been part of @the-book-bazaar.com alongside 21 other indie authors this month. We've all just managed to fund our campaigns... except one! The Primal Rift needs a boost to get it across that finishing line! Can you give it a hand? www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t...

My crowdfund for The Chosen One Con only has 30 hours left!! This is the gayest book I've written yet! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t...

In case you missed it, we're getting close to the end!

2025 has been a year of saving money and paying off debts. I started with 10k of debt before the year, and now I owe less than 4k! Confident I can get the rest down next year and maybe go on a holiday for the first time in years.

Enter all your fave indie books.

Well I'm not going to the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 concert in London, tickets sold out within seconds 😂

Forget about what films count as Christmas films, what video games do you associate with Christmas? For me its the Zelda games, but also Skyrim and Fallout, especially when I can add Christmas mods. Bonus points also to Christmas NiGHTS.

Super tired today and working extra hours, so I expect no productivity beyond eating snacks lol

The Chosen One Con crowdfund has hit 91 backers! 🙉 Can we hit the big 100 in the last 40 hours? The most popular tier is the ebook! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t...

Very seriously, this needs to stop. It's rude, it's not funny, let people eat some food in peace and quiet.

I ran out of the contraceptive I take to stop my periods. Thought I had a whole strip but no. Now I'm awake at 2am with cramps 🫠 The human body was a mistake!!

Begging Bayley not to steal my chair as I go for a wee but the court of cat denied my claim 😭

So speaking of antagonists, there are many candidates for antagonist within The Chosen One Con. I like writing assholes lol There is one main antagonist pulling the strings throughout, and if you pay attention to all those foreshadows, it should be pretty obvious!

I'd quit my day job and just write books full time.

The real antagonist of The Chosen One Con doesn't become apparent until the final few chapters of the book lol he's not even THAT bad, he just wants something the MC doesn't want to give.

The crowdfund for The Chosen One Con has only days left, and I've added a new tier that includes ALL my ebooks, including every book I'll ever write in the future! With this tier, you'll be able to enter my DMs at any time and be like "bitch, where are my books?" www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t...

This indie author is only $288 away from funding an audiobook production of a sweet gay scifi book. Would you pledge for an ebook or physical book to help close the gap? So close!

Side characters from The Chosen One Con I haven't spoken about much: Belladonna is a drag queen that acts as a mother figure to both Max and Hope and spends time with both! She is fabulous of course, and it's her idea to pretend to be Max's maid and help him in the contest.

I turn 33 this week and I couldn't miss the opportunity of referencing Expedition 33 and performing a strange combo 🥖 You can get all my short stories in a free bundle on Payhip. Umbra: Tales of a Shadow is going to be only 0.99 everywhere until December 7. (1/4)

Bayley fights with the kitten by rolling on his back and screaming dramatically. I don't know what this technique is called, but it doesn't seem very effective.

Rolling my ankle when I'm walking along a road just as a car comes along and runs over my head, squashing it like a watermelon.

So I wrote 1400 words yesterday, just to prove this book is still happening 😂 I will definitely 100% get this chapter done this week lol maybe even the whole book?! Who knows!

We've now entered December, which means A Month of Rain and Reads has come to an end. Thank you to everyone that took part in the month by submitting a post, taking part in the challenges, or sharing our content! Here's our final wrap up and thank you post: www.readindiefantasy.com/a-month-of-r...

So November was my worst month for book royalties, even worse than September lol but at least I'll have £27 in time for my birthday in two months?

My crowdfund only has a couple more days on it, and I appreciate everyone who has supported it thus far! I know who you are, and you're on my imaginary Christmas card list 😂

We know picking a fave is difficult, but don't miss out on this challenge and the TWELVE books you can win! This is our last challenge for #AMoRaR!

Escort quests.

From The Chosen One Con: Max fell for Lyle because of his dark sense of humour, blunt opinions, and gorgeous red hair. Lyle fell for Max because he was the only one in the city to show him kindness by offering him a bed and food, and then he fell for his charm.

Our last post for a Month of Rain and Reads is the final interview with @the-book-bazaar.com! @kelefox.bsky.social is raising funds for a special chocolate overload hardcover edition of Darkhaven: www.readindiefantasy.com/amorar-inter... #AMoRaR

I'm listening through Tales of Lunis Aquaria, Vol 2 as a last check. This volume has eight new stories set in Lunis Aquaria, pick a number between 1 and 8 and I'll give a non-spoilery snippet from the story of your choice! (if someone picks the same number, I'll post a different line)

It's A Month of Rain & Reads, and we may be winding down, but we're not yet done. For today's first interview, we present debut author E.A. Bard ( @eabardwrites.bsky.social ), and we talk about her book A Tempest of Ravens. www.readindiefantasy.com/amorar-inter... #BookSky #AMoRaR

I'll be taking part in this in under an hour! Watch me sweat as I skilfully avoid finishing this chapter.

Our month-long event is coming to an end with this last chance to win a bumper collection of books!

I get what this post is saying, but for most self-published and indie authors, bookstores won't stock our books.
