Bookseller article with the headline "New publisher Spines aims to 'disrupt' industry by using AI to publish 8,000 books in 2025 alone" 🤮🤮🤮

Why? Who is this meant to be good for? Nobody wants your shit AI books, never mind 8,000 in a year. Just a terrible idea and a horrible road the publishing industry is heading down.

Kept this in my bookmarks until I had time to do it. Wow, they REALLY bury that option. Thanks for the guide!!

I'm planning on a March or April release for my NA, sci-fi debut FrostByte where a murder victim is resurrected in the wrong body

Setting: Cyberpunk + Desi + Muslim Culture

Features: 3rd person, Dual POV, an Ace MC, Found Family, Unreliable Narrators, Mental Health, Morally Grey characters

Dear writer friends, I am in the process of preparing a video with previews of fantasy and scifi books coming out in 2025. Don't be shy, tell me about your projects and send me details by responding to this post, via DM or from the contact page of my website! And if you can, please share this post!

Optimist: The cup is half full

Pessimist: The cup is half empty

Writer: …did I have a plan for this cup? Was it supposed to link to some other part of the plot? Crap. I really don’t want to go through and take every mention of the cup out. Maybe I can kill someone with it.

I finally managed to get my house clean(nearly!) with all the laundry put away, most of kiddo's toys back in the proper places and all the crap accumulating on the dining table sorted and put away. I feel really happy looking at how nice it looks knowing it won't last 24 hours like this 😮‍💨

whenever a man says “childless women contribute nothing to society,” the ghost of the famously unmarried Jane Austen rises and says, “you are such a disagreeable man that it would be quite a misfortune to be liked by you.”

I'm going to have one 😁 Book 1, FrostByte, in my Desi Cyberpunk trilogy will be coming out sometime in 2025 though I haven't got a release date finalised yet.

To my fellow writers, especially the aspiring authors - what are you writing or working on right now?

I'm working on a Desi Cyberpunk trilogy with Brown, Muslim MCs. One of them is an ace, morally grey anti-hero and the other is a murder victim resurrected in the wrong body, riches to rags style.

This is the way, and the only way.

As an author, I cannot stress this enough. And as a reader, I see this as an investment in my own reading future...if I love something I want more from that author! And publishers will only give authors new deals if people buy the book!
