Thomas J Devens- The Revolting Peasant of Grimdark
@tdevens.bsky.social
(He/Him) Author of gritty fantasy/grimdark (Fall of Emros and Vermin of the Old Empire), foundry worker, gamer, drinker of dark beers, and thrower of axes. Never good at social media, but trying to be more active-ish. https://linktr.ee/thomasjdevens

This month I examine the impact branching out into editorial work could have on my wider creative output, and why it's the right decision to diversify. I also consider the risks to my business of AI and what humans can offer when it comes to creativity. www.timhardieauthor.co.uk/blog/dont-yo...
