Charlie Jane "Lessons in Magic and Disaster" Anders 🏳️⚧@charliejane.bsky.social · 7mo agoI'm stoked that the Humble Bundle of my and @annaleen.bsky.social's books from Tor has raised nearly $5000 for the TGI Justice Project and Miss Major/Alexander Lee Black Trans Cultural Center. www.humblebundle.com/books/charli... Let me tell you about when I went to the TGIJP's anniversary party
If you're using Amazon Affiliates you may have noticed that some books, specifically erotic and erotic romance titles, are no longer eligible for affiliate income. @iheartsapphfic.bsky.social noticed this and wrote a full explainer as to what's going on. Y'all remember #AmazonFail?

We're funded. Incredibly grateful to the folks who have pitched in and increased pledges and hyped up the project over the last few days (as well as the folks who been there from day one). I don't take any of you for granted. So so thankful to everyone who is making this a reality.

Can I respectfully clarify that the MSWL hastag is for agents/editors to let writers know what they're seeking. It's not intended for writers to pitch their works. With #MSWLDay imminent, it's vital this hashtag stays clean. Thanks. #writingcommunity #writersky #amwriting #authors #writers
I'm not saying #PitchDis dates will be announced this week (because they won't), but they will be very soon 👀
If you’ve got a few bucks to back this kickstarter, you can help bring more queer stories into the world.

The book club scam has taken an exciting new leap forward. I got one today from a "curated literary platform and newsletter" that, unusually, offered a link to its website. I'm in edits, so obviously I took the opportunity to procrastinate. /1
I am also going to win, because I'm never going to wake up in the morning, stare into the empty eyes of the thing in the mirror, and realise I traded my soul and my children's world to make a small profit off slop.

Washington Post is shuttering its book section, part of the ongoing war against literacy & knowledge. We at Current Affairs want to pick up the slack by expanding book reviews. Writers: pitch us anytime! And if you subscribe/donate we'll use the funding to commission book coverage.
