What's laughable is that on Amazon I will probably hit $100 at the end of the month but on D2D I've been stuck at $8 since last year. That's not even mentioning the amount of money I've made in-person (hint: it's WAY MORE) It's almost like performance as an author is relative or something...

A Black feminist essayist confronts the leftist heartthrob who built his YouTube career on her talking points. When their interview goes viral, their feud becomes public spectacle—and something darker, uglier, and way too sexy to ignore. #BluePit📖 #BluePit #A #W

It's been about two years since I started professionally writing and my journey has been unconventional to say the least but I feel like I'm getting mutually realised in both my indie and trad tracks and that's really affirming in a sense that perseverance can be key for an industry like this.

Probably misandry and reverse racism against groups that are still heavily anti-black but aren't considered part of the dominant global hegemony. Oh wait. That already happened.

If you became famous, how would your haters try to cancel you?

Just received the most un-fucking-real publishing-related email regarding Echo Chamber. I'm still processing. I really think this might be the story that changes everything...

It's a wrap folks 🎉🎉🎉

WE WILL DEVOUR THE NIGHT and AND THE AGE OF SUMMER WILL RISE are officially eligible for this year's Indie Ink Awards. I have taken the initiative to not only list out what categories I think they're eligible for but also list out examples of why I think they're eligible :)

I've only been doing this full-time for less than a year but I don't really have a safety net. I have savings and the generosity of whatever friends and family are willing to give me. That's really it. I will probably be back in salaried employment by next year if all goes well.

Many full time creatives have “invisible safety nets” like bread-winning partners, trust funds, external support, etc. No shame on anyone, but it creates a false vision of success. The cost of going to cons alone on top of hoping to eat as a freelancer are untenable, IMO.

WE WILL DEVOUR THE NIGHT and AND THE AGE OF SUMMER WILL RISE are both eligible for nominations!

ATTENTION INDIE BOOK READERS The Indie Ink Awards are open for nominations! Authors can't nominate their own books, so it's up to you to make sure your faves get their shot. #booksky #indiebooks #IndieInkAwards

i didn't want to put all my books in KU but the results can't be denied, especially after years of trying to make it work wide.

Probably one of the highest forms of praise I've ever received.

I wrote about the retention rates of my completed fantasy trilogy and the numbers are looking VERY positive, especially considering indie fantasy projects haemorrhage the vast majority of its audience after book one. You can read about it here. open.substack.com/pub/aninkwel...

Post-Trilogy Completion Thoughts: Let's Talk Sequel Retention

How well have I maintained my audience during TEOTE's publication run?

I can't be a romance writer because if a heroine has to choose between saving the world and her villain love interest I'm going to expect her to make the first choice every time.

Good morning New Yawkers I have a pretty book bundle here for you of a dark fantasy trilogy. It's got court intrigue, tragic romance, spice, all you could ask for. Hall 1B, Table WB-13. Step right up.

We've paid off our NYCC table fee. Clap everybody. 👏

ECHO CHAMBER did get an agent like on its second pitch. While pitch events are like playing the lottery any small sign I can take that my pitching skill is improving and the premise is hitting the way its supposed to is a win by me! Thanks everyone for your support through this event 💖

She's the darling of feminist Substack. He's the golden boy of Breadtube. They could be a power couple —but when she exposes his plagiarism, it starts an online war that threatens to consume them. #A #LF #BVM #DVpit
