Yet another one that pretends to be for authors but blatantly steals. Telling people they can get in touch if a story doesn't belong there, without providing a method of getting in touch, is still just theft.

The thing that gets me about #solarpunk is that people forget about the punk part. Everyone loves the green, solar part. But remember that punk means alternative. Radical alternative. #indieauthor #scifi

I am grateful I can sit at my desk and write for an hour because it means my #fibromyalgia is not flaring, so I can sit for longer than twenty minutes, and that my #brainfog is gone for the moment, so I can concentrate. Chronic pain has made me grateful for so many “little things.”

Looking for you next #scifi #solarpunk book? Check out Don’t Face the Open, set in a utopia future where we work with the land instead of against it. But something #cosmichorror creeps in at the edges, and it’s up to the MC to figure out how to fight that which defies reality. #bookrelease #indie

Along with the reminder that bi/pan people are still bi/pan no matter who their partner is, please remember that romance novels about 2 characters of different genders can still be queer romances. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been told my bi4bi MF romances don’t count.

DID YOU KNOW? 🚨 Dystopian media often tells us that #disabled people’s lives matter less, and calls this pragmatism. “For the good of the many” often requires that disabled characters die and/or be left behind. That's one reason why we're #CrippingDystopia in the disability in dystopia anthology!

A graphic with a green textured background and black brushstroke shapes containing white and green text. The text explains that dystopian media often portrays disabled people’s lives as less valuable, framing it as “pragmatism,” and notes that such stories frequently require disabled characters to die or be left behind. An orange spray paint style exclamaition mark and five-pointed star appear around the text. Dark green text along the very bottom announces “The Disability in Dystopia Anthology – Coming July 2026.”
