NOVELLA NOVEMBER IS COMING! — ANTHONY R. CARDNO I love reading books of all lengths, but man do I really love novellas! Something about that 17,000-to-40,000-word length (roughly 70 to 160 pages) feels like the sweet spot – short enough to read in ...

Let's celebrate the art of the Novella in November! #NovellaNovember

Yikes. Thanks for the heads up!

And congratulations on the dissertation! I only ever did a thesis, but it was a long and arduous process because I started it with NO IDEA what I was writing about 💀

Hope you’ve found it rewarding!

Hey, me too 😂 that’s why I had to put my opening reads thing on hold. I think I’ll get back to it now, tho I would also really like to finish writing another novel

One day I’ll get my head on straight enough to do all my other work and read all these great novels I’ve got laying around, Steve.
Count on it ♥️

I haven’t read his books yet, but @stevewestenra.bsky.social is a rising, recommended fantasy/horror author

hit me with your recommendations for excellent trans adult fiction by trans authors? Stag Dance and RCBG have been rattling around in my head since I read them and I and want to read more trans stories that aren't memoir or aimed at young readers!

I just did a quick search and this is pretty comprehensive. A good resource.

That’s really nice

I really like being a Dev Editor.

It’s so gratifying to be a part of a book’s journey and help authors see their story through fresh eyes.

Rob J. Hayes – Where Loyalties Lie

The latest #SPFBO review:

This brutal, sea-sprayed tale of pirates, betrayal, and uneasy alliances showcases the grit and moral ambiguity that have become Hayes’ trademark.

@marklawrenceauthor.bsky.social one for the scoreboard!

Darrin Muir's debut thriller Afterimage is out now.

I worked with Darrin on this and enjoyed it. Stripes of Stephen King. I'm deeply interested to see what he writes next.

I love it!

feels wild to have to say but I don’t think people who wear swastikas should be allowed to exist

fix yr heart or be thrown into Gehenna

Yet another case to add as proof to that the MIT Report about GenAI not actually being this amazing company productivity booster Techbros keep praising it for.

Breaking up the doomscrolling with a little GOOD news!

Holy god, who the fuck are these people??????

People are talking about piracy for some reason.
Books are one of the best things you can buy … at least, when you can afford them.
(Open for cc)

We are so excited to be part of #SFINC3 this year. Our team has 20 novellas between us and each novella has at least two readers to score and review each title.
So what are the titles and who is reading them???

Chapter dev notes for another author away! I hope it helps!

Was just saying this recently

"IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THEM "One thing I don't think people realize is that in arguments about human rights, it's not about trying to persuade the other party. It's not about convincing them at all. They've already made up their minds. It's about persuading the audience. "If call out my aunt about how racist she's being at Thanksgiving, it's not because I expect to change her mind. I'm hoping my little cousin hears and learns maybe skin color doesn't mean what she says it means. "If I call out my coach on being homophobic I'm not trying to change his opinion. I'm trying to convince the closeted gay kid on the team that they aren't the monster he's made them out to be. "People will try to hush you and say, "they're not going to change their minds, don't bother" but it's not about them. It was never about them."
