Yo there #IndieAuthors - come listen to my scifi short stories and essays - https://youtu.be/gApNfUXM5B8 #audiobook #audiobooks #books #scifi
There was just a survey released (https://www.writtenwordmedia.com/we-asked-indie-authors-how-2025-is-going-heres-what-they-said/) showing authors, particularly indie authors, being wary of AI. I wonder if designing author logos and marketing artwork for materials like swag, buttons, stickers, etc, might be a tiny help, or even art-ifying AI-generated logos & marketing materials for indie authors. Good art is hard to find especially staying away form AI, from an author perspective!

Happy #Pride everyone!
Be loud, be proud and be kind to yourselves.
There'll be tons of opportunities to support queer creators this month. And lots of #LGBTQIA+ book bundles on Itch.io. (Fellow #indieAuthors, this is a store worth checking out if your books aren't already on it )
The 1st Itch bundle my books are in is a 23 ebook (for $15), or 36 ebook (for $20) bundle. Every book/ story has an #aromantic main character, across a range of genres.
BookBub Survey Finds Indie Authors Divided on AI Use, Ethics Still a Major Concern: Self-Publishing News with Dan Holloway https://selfpublishingadvice.org/bookbub-survey/ #self-publishingtrends #BookBubsurvey #authorethics #generativeAI #indieauthors #AIinwriting #News
@artificialintelligencenews.in Hello @artificialintelligencenews.in!
We’re Author AI, the first AI built specifically for long-form writing. Think novels, screenplays, technical manuals, but with structure at scale.
We’re not here to replace the human author. We’re here to support those with powerful stories, but limited time, resources, or access to craft training.
We'd love to share some of our work with you for your review!

So instead of trying to find books that don't exist, go forth and check out #IndieAuthors #WritingCommunity #ScribesAndMakers #WordWeavers and other similar tags here on Fedi where *real* authors writing *real* stories hang out, and find an indie author's book that's your cup of tea!
And I *guarantee* that one €5 sale for one of those authors will mean *so* much more to that author than a €15 sale for a big name famous author who may or may not even notice one more or less sale!
I'm switching my universal book links over to BookFunnel because books2read has been having problems with Kobo links for many months AND I can use my own domain name with the BookFunnel links. The switch makes sense, but...
OMG, this is tedious work.I really don't do well with tedious tasks. Ugh.
(I have done one book. One. And I'm already complaining. )
