Only a week into April and I’m already almost at a thousand pages read on KU! I know 842 isn’t much to some, but this is huge for me. Thank you to all who are reading my books—I cannot express how grateful I am! And just wait… book 3 of the Age of Cain Saga is going to be out before you know it!

🕊️Question on Audiobook composition🕊️ I’m ahead of schedule writing the final book of the Age of Cain Saga. Once I get the final book out, I’ll rerelease the saga after another round of edits completed, and I’m also adding an audiobook component.

I keep telling myself one day all this hard work will be worth it, and I’ll be able to sustain myself off of just my writing one day. It’s good to have a dream, right?

Keeping up morale as a queer, indie author is hard lately… between today’s political landscape, being an author AND marketer because of budget constraints, and the longer-than-anticipated time it takes to create a profitable catalog, I feel like I could always be doing more.

If you’re looking to support more queer fantasy stories, check out The Lost Story and my The Age of Saga— the first two books of the series (Scorpio Rising and Cardinal Fire) are currently on Amazon! Amidst rampant attacks on the queer community, our stories need to be shared now more than ever!

🕊️Book review of Meg Shaffer’s The Lost Story🕊️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 In The Lost Story, where Narnia meets Oz meets modern queer fantasy meets WEST VIRGINIA OF ALL PLACES(?!), I found myself enjoyed an amazing story of love, friendship, and family trauma. I need the sequel NOW!

🕊️Anthony Scott | Author🕊️ @anthonyscottauthor.bsky.social · 28/02/2025

On today’s #economicblackout, consider shopping local instead of purchasing from major corporations and use cash instead of card. My books are available at Rainbow Road in MPLS! Both novels are $20 each, while Hadrian and Antinous is $10!

Trying to figure out to optimize my book fair display as a self-published author. Hoping to have an optimal set up for my @twincitiespride.bsky.social booth. Authors and book lovers, any advice?

🕊️Anthony Scott | Author🕊️ @anthonyscottauthor.bsky.social · 20/02/2025

I can also say this book has inspired me to want to record my own books as audiobooks. Once I’m done writing the Age of Cain Saga, audiobooks may be next! Indie authors with audiobooks, any tips on starting the audiobook journey?

🕊️Anthony Scott | Author🕊️ @anthonyscottauthor.bsky.social · 20/02/2025

🧵I finished my first audiobook today, A Court of Thorns and Roses by sarahjmaas, and I loved it! It seemed cliche at first but really picked up for me about a third of the way through! I’m excited to continue the series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I hope white america turns off the TV & instead of booing artists, we wake up already. It’s time to thank Black America for constantly working to redeem the US. From Harriet Tubman to MLK Jr. to Kentaji Brown Jackson to Harris (yes, I said it) to #KendrickLamar, our best have always been Black.

At the last book fair I was at, which lasted 4 hours, I sold out of the 25 copies of the one book I had at the time. That fair had only a few hundred attendees, and now I have 2 books. The festival is 10am-7pm Saturday, June 28 and 10am-6pm Sunday, June 29. Any opinions are helpful!

🕊️Anthony Scott | Author🕊️ @anthonyscottauthor.bsky.social · 04/02/2025

Question for my fellow queer self-published authors: if I’m attending a Pride festival that historically has had 500K visitors (and planning for more than that this year) how many books should I stock up on?

Alright so it’s not just me, good to know! I ordered 40, I have a book fair in a few weeks. I hope they get here before then! I feel like I’ll have to keep ordering in bulk when able, and months in advance. I wonder if there are more reliable options to produce physical copies?

Any other KDP authors sensing a slowing of printing services? I have a huge book order supposed to come today, but Amazon is saying it hasn’t even shipped yet? (Typically my book orders are shipped a few days before they arrive) At this point I don’t expect the books to arrive till next week🙃

Thanks. This clarifies nothing.

Tweet from the White House Press Secretary: “This is NOT a rescission of the federal funding freeze.

It is simply a rescission of the OMB memo.

Why? To end any confusion created by the court's injunction.

The President's EO's on federal funding remain in full force and effect, and will be rigorously implemented.”
