Today we’re here with a rather unique interview! Please welcome @mcclungmike.bsky.social and the launch of his new indie eZine, Murderhobo, which features speculative fiction by indie authors as a middle finger to AI slop: www.readindiefantasy.com/interview-mu...

I have found my new favourite meme response for slopists. Ahahahahaha 🤣

Are you a self-published/indie SFFH author with a new book release coming up or are you launching a crowdfund? We can feature it in our new monthly release round-ups from September onwards! Just fill out this form: www.readindiefantasy.com/new-releases/

If you're a new writer looking to publish your book, my biggest piece of advice is to do research into publishing, no matter whether you want to go trad or self-pub. And PLEASE avoid vanity presses and hybrid publishers that ask you to pay to publish your book.

Today we’re excited to host a cover reveal for Body in the Amber Library by D. Hale Rambo, the first in The Enchanted Almveres Investigate series featuring a married couple with unusual magical abilities in a Fae-touched Regency fantasy and a murder mystery! www.readindiefantasy.com/cover-reveal...
