'Officers owe loyalty to the church more than to the people they are supposed to 'serve and protect'. In such a community it is easy to see why Amber, despite being surrounded by people, can feel alone.' - T O Munro reviews The Dark Within Them @isabellekenyon.bsky.social

Looking forward to hearing more about this. Nathaniel knows his stuff. He worked for our previous sales and marketing partner and was a very diligent and personable guy. Always great to see the next generation making headway

Yes definitely!!

...The mentorship felt very collaborative and I definitely feel like I have a clearer sense of my next steps. I highly recommend reaching out to her for a chat." #publishing #publishingmentor

"Isabelle has been really approachable and generous as she's helped guide my thoughts toward establishing a micropress. She offered a wealth of clear, practical advice, which prompted me to think more deeply about my business plan and vision, while providing a suggested structure to do so...

Over the past year or so I've had the pleasure of mentoring two independent publishers starting/levelling up their publishing operations! Most recently Nathaniel Spain - keep an eye out for Carnyx Press when it opens later this year for submissions!

Deleted Chapter Series: Amy Lilwall on Seeing What You Can’t Always See Plus Connection Sells Books: The Power of Presence in the Digital Age

Amy shares her candid reflections on the phenomenon of story-blindness—those narrative threads that make perfect sense to the author… but not to the reader.

She’s also included two versions of a pivotal scene, so you can see the transformation.

flyonthewallpress.substack.com/p/deleted-ch...

Have you worked with an editor and realised you’ve been blind to plot issues or character threads that don’t quite present as you thought they did?!

Lilwall’s cli-fi novel The Water That May Come is in the final stages of editing and will be released with @flyonthewallpress.bsky.social Oct 25...

Things I never thought would be part of 'adulting' that I want stickers/badges/cookies for from the universe -

1. VAT return filing
2. EBook coding
3. Projections and accounting

😂😅

The devil works hard, but publishers work harder 💪 🤣🤣

A real pleasure 🙏

It's the end of the first leg of the "We Are Not Anonymous" blog tour, and what a tour it's been. Here's a recap of the reviews: stephenoram.net/first-leg-of...

With thanks to @isabellekenyon.bsky.social for organising it.

Love this interview in the voice of Naomi from #WeAreNotAnonymous @stephenoram.bsky.social !

'Have you committed a crime? What was it?

Yes, but then haven’t we all...the laws aren’t fair or... we’ve knowingly contributed to the climate catastrophe.'

Today on the #blogtour for the latest #clifi from @stephenoram.bsky.social #LibraryofErana spotlights the book - read an excerpt and learn about the world in which the book is set above! #books📚💙

Book Spotlight – We Are Not Anonymous #ScienceFiction Book Title: We Are Not Anonymous Author (s): Stephen Oram Genre: near future science fiction Tell us about your characters: There are three main characters. A twenty-something Beth, who has left he…

'We Are Not Anonymous is an accessible sci-fi thriller rooted in concerns about AI, billionaire tech barons, climate change, politics and government, data ownership and police militarization. But it’s also an inspiring story about the power of activism.'

libraryoferana.wordpress.com/2025/04/08/b...

A central question within this novel is: can they successfully subvert Kai’s ambitions and help create a more equal and transparent world? Stephen has successfully written a multiplicity of compelling and recognisable voices, with the character Tam being my personal favourite. (4/7)

In the hope of creating an equal world, protagonists Beth and Naomi who are part of the activist group -Resist and Regain- uncover the atrocities and restrictions which current citizens experience under the leader, Kai. (3/7)

We Are Not Anonymous highlights the ongoing threat that technology imposes on our everyday lives while simultaneously reminding the reader how important our own, individual human power is. (2/7)
