No engagement-bait "what do you think about...?" posts here If you send an LLM-extruded submission our way, it's going in the bin. Yes, we will check (though not with any "AI" detectors) It's also an easy way to ensure we never read anything you write thereafter, because we think you suck

For no reason, just posting this here as a reminder that art doesn’t need to be owned by a corporation and sold and conglomerated for billions. Support indie art. It is (almost literally) the only art that remains🖤☠️ store.tenebrouspress.com

Hey folks -- Signal Boost time for this week's #TheFullLid. If you have a human-made creative project to promote, leave the details in a reply. Include the title and a link please, so folks can find it. For pre-launch crowdfunders let us know about 2 weeks in advance.

Hi! This is a BIPOC horror antho looking for a publisher. If you publish it, I will buy a copy 😃 Get on this!

If you write queer fiction - be it horror, crime, erotica or another genre entirely - it's probably worth knowing this We already know the US govt considers us ontologically "unsafe." So fair to assume they think the same about our books

#Booksky Signed books make great gifts! Can’t make it to one of our events? We sell great queer books from our website too! Current signed stock: books by Catherine Lundoff, Michael Merriam and Jennie Goloboy. queenofswordspress.com

Thank you!! Yes, we offer Amazon-free ebooks, through various sellers~~! traumbooks.com

Hello! We do! If you like queer romance books with no DRM and all happy endings, check us out at spacefruitpress.com/books/

Are you an indie press that sells ebooks direct (and DRM-free)? If so: drop you links in the quoted thread ⬇️

Weightless books is really good for this!

Speculative fiction novellas from Dancing Star Press, DRM-free! 💖

We're a little too overloaded to add an e-books store right now, but we do include e-books with the equivalent print purchase!

@badhandbooks.bsky.social and @shortwavebooks.bsky.social come to mind.

I think a lot of folks just aren't aware you can buy e-books direct from indie presses!

I pulled them Kindle Unlimited. The books are all still up on Amazon for anybody who wants them (and are DRM-free), or they can get downloadable copies direct from me and cut out Bezos entirely. 😁 My stuff is also now on Bookshop.org thanks to their recent deal with Draft2Digital. I’m everywhere!

Indeed we do🖤☠️ store.tenebrouspress.com/collections/...

Thank you for this! A group of indie writers and small presses has just under two weeks left on this bundle of translated works from around the world. Supporting it helps a whole lot of people at once, plus 10% of the price can be donated to Global Voices Lingua. ❤️ storybundle.com/translation

Inspired by suggestions already coming out of this thread... READERS! Did you know that you can often buy (DRM-free) ebooks direct from small presses? AMZ isn't the only game in town! (Ours ⬇️) INDIE PRESSES! Do you sell DRM-free ebooks direct? If so: add your store below. Let's get a thread going!

Tell us, #booksky ! How can we make this happen? ⬇️

Bookstores and booksellers, The Denizens is available to order in for your store. Let your horror-loving customers in on the secret.

Taking a small break for getting angry about small press malfeasance to say: The Long Con is right now just £5.99 at the NBP store - so if you want a hefty, 3-books-in-1 sapphic thriller read this weekend... you know what to do!

#TBRuary 19: I've challenged myself to focus as much as possible on indie books this month already, so for today I'm going with a book by one of the first indie authors I discovered after joining Bluesky: Shadows Over Ravenkirk by Vivian Moira Valentine! But wait, there's more! (1/2)
