Really disappointed to see that @bookfunnel.bsky.social , which claims to support authors, is partnering with an AI audio book narration company and is now promoting their services. 🤬 This is your daily reminder that all generative AI is built on stolen works by authors and artists. #noaiart

Check out this recording of our latest QuickRead featuring six women and nonbinary authors of science fiction, fantasy, and horror!

Well, if your week is going as shit as mine, here, at least, is something to look forward to. #SWSWQR

The world is hard right now. These (free) virtual events are a soft, quiet space to escape for an hour with friendly, supportive folks. #SWSWQR

Just making sure that 2025 is definitely over

I'd say "new year, who dis" but our QRs aren't new - in fact, we're entering our FIFTH YEAR of supporting women and nonbinary authors of spec fic! #SWSWQR

There's still time to give! SW-SW is hoping to raise $500 this month, which is 50% of our operating budget. If you love what we do and/or want to support elevating the voices of women and nonbinary writers of science fiction, fantasy, and horror, please drop a few bucks in the tip jar!

It's coming! A whole Saturday of wild literary fun, presented by your favorite organization that promotes women & nonbinary speculative fiction authors! Just look at that lineup! 👀 Register below to get the FREE link! www.eventbrite.com/o/strong-wom...

In 2 weeks I'll be reading from LIGHT BEYOND THE GLASS. Come join me and @swsworlds.bsky.social @authorterribruce.bsky.social @lindzmcleod.bsky.social @sylviecathrall.bsky.social @brendaclough.bsky.social @chelseaconradt.bsky.social www.eventbrite.com/e/first-frid...

One of my all-time favorite things we do at SW-SW is visits by ghost authors to pay tribute to the women and nonbinary authors who paved the way for today's authors. Tonight we'll be visited by one of these spirtis! I can't wait! Event is free but registration is required. Hope to see you tonight!

tomorrow! tomorrow! How I love ya...first Friday of the month QuickReads! #SWSWQR

I never knew how much fun it is to listen to a story in a group setting before the SW-SW QuickReads. There's something amazing about seeing/hearing how other folks react to the story and discussing the story in real time with others. Join us this Friday at 12 pm EDT for the next reading! #SWSWQR

Tonight at 7 pm EDT. Completely free but registration is required. www.eventbrite.com/e/first-frid... #SWSWQR

These readings are always a wild ride - a humorous story will be followed by one that rips your guts out and then followed by one that will give you nightmares and finishes on a charming middle grade fantasy chaser. You just never know! #SWSWQR

Sept 18, 2025, I'll read from "Always Haunted: Hallowe'en Poems" with a fine group of authors. Sign up for our free event + give-aways! @authorterribruce.bsky.social @divinationsmag.bsky.social @the-engine-idling.bsky.social @mgliterary.bsky.social www.eventbrite.com/o/strong-wom...

Just two more sleeps until the next Strong Women - Strange Worlds QuickRead! There's nothing quite like hearing authors read their own stories - and the mix of stories is always amazing!
