#QueerWritersChat I need 9 more followers before BackerKit will give me a chance to print my #book! You can get #stickers when you pledge later this year! A bookmark! (Probably a never-before-seen short story :3.) And a physical copy of a really cool fantasy! www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

We're up to 13 followers on the Halfsoul campaign. But can we get to 15??? (Following means you'll get a free short story, and I'll keep you up to date on the campaign when it launches, so you don't accidentally miss out.) www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti... #booksky #writingcommunity

I think I need to really start making a moderation list for all the bots that are beta readers and editors. I have blocked sooo many since I follow the #editing feed and it gets filled with AI slop. This project might take a bit, but I want to help protect writers.

Just one follower from 50!! www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti... 💙📚 #booksky #queerbooks #lgbtbooks

Authors: show me the book covers you made yourself, without AI. Here’s one of mine. It’s not perfect, but when I look at it, it feels like it belongs to me, and I like that.

Heart of Oak is starting to look good, wanting some support Always looking for more feedback. Currently planning to have the last of the revisions done before by the end of the week forms.gle/SKTCjYzJG5zo... #Writesky #WritingCommunity #Backerkit #BookBazaar26 #Booksky

Love has never needed permission from labels 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 My emptiness of gender lets me see that clearly. Anxiety tightens around transgender lives right now. Why must their chosen bonds still pass through someone else’s gate? Why is the soul they claim treated as a request instead of a right?

#G'day #CartAugust crew! Today, we're living dangerously, brushing up close against the demon Spoilers. The question: if you made two maps, a prologue and an epilogue, would they be the same? And if not, how have the events of the story changed this world?

Please talk to me about my books. Y'all know I yap about yours

So it was indie appreciation week last week, and I just wanna drop this starter pack again and tell all my indie mates I LOVE YOU Y'all are rad and make my life better xxx

Jeb 🏳️‍⚧️ Time Paradox: Exposition@jebdarsh.bsky.social · 3w ago

Needed to put some positive vibes back in the world so made my very first starter pack of my fave author pals. (If I missed you and you know we pals, tell me! It's been a week. Also if you're on it and you don't want to be lmk)

To all of you out there creating in this capitalist hellscape, in this time of war and inequality, where many are fearing for their lives, I see you And I appreciate you We need art and stories and music and theatre and and and. We need them to escape but to also record the trying times we're in💕

Sorry if I've been swinging wildly between these two concepts lately. These times are really trying.

Give Indie some love! She's awesome!

Indie Book Spotlight@bookspotlight.bsky.social · 3d ago
