Does anyone still edit on paper with a red pen? Did that ever make you feel like your manuscript was bleeding? Try using green ink instead. Editing helps you grow! 🌱 #WritingTips #EditingHacks #AuthorLife #WritingCommunity

Does true crime ever creep into your stories? Has a real-life mystery ever inspired your writing? As an author, I find some cases fascinating. A few elements of my second novel were inspired by a real case. #TrueCrime #WritingCommunity #Inspiration #AuthorLife

After some great comments on #Threads, I’ve decided to add content warnings to my books. I’ve come up with possible CWs for the first two novels. I’d love additional input if indie authors have thoughts to share! Input from readers would also be helpful. #WritingCommunity #IndieAuthor #AmWriting

Thank you for responding. I appreciate it. I have not included anything like this for my first two novels, but this crossed my mind, while working on the third installment in the series.

What do you think about adding something like the following?

This book does not include strong language, sexual content, or graphic depictions of violence.

Indie authors, do you add content warnings to your books? I've been thinking about including them. My first book, might look like this:

Content Warning: This book contains references to alcohol, mild language, and themes of suicide. Reader discretion is advised.
