A thread of multiply marginalized queer/trans artists who are *very* affordable, and who can do character commissions of book covers for you.

House of the Underworld by Cirice Gray

House is now available for preorder, too. The intention is that while PE tells the main story of GO, House will be telling it from the context of Mada's side of the story, events that Persephone doesn't see/care about, so we thought we'd make the preview integrated ciricegray.itch.io/house-of-the...

It distinguishes itself from the rest of contemporary romance by having genuine stakes--the cis protagonist knows the heteropatriarchy is coming for her, in a soul-destroying way, and finally stages her rebel against it by promising her trans girlfriend that she'll fight for her.

Review: DULHANIYAA by Talia Bhatt If you have watchedย Crazy Rich Asians, youโ€™ll have a very good idea of what to expect in the opening pages ofย Dulhaniyaa, where the protagonist Esha comes home to Mumbai from Americaโ€”the extravaganโ€ฆ

My review here. beekian.wordpress.com/2024/04/17/r...

Dulhaniyaa by @taliabhatt.itch.io is Bollywood-inspired and leagues ahead of most contemporary romance that tends to have low/no stakes and is about two white cis gender-conforming women; takes place in Mumbai and the love interest is a butch trans woman dance instructor.

The only thing I would say that, if you end up posting sth about the book in the future that features its cover--like a review or live-read or w/e--I'd appreciate it if you used images of the updated cover rather than the old one

The book contents are completely unchanged except for the 'About the Author' bit, nor is the cover design any different really, so it's not such a big deal that it would warrant saving up for a new purchase

Itch and Steam got a bunch of us thinking; we need a catalogue where creative (esp. NSFW & Queer) works are less vulnerable to censorship. A storefront we won't be delisted from. One giving us the autonomy to sell our stuff our way. So we're making Conjured Ink. You can join us. https://conjured.ink

vanity publishing is when *you* pay a vanity press to publish your book. sometimes ignorant (often new) authors get scammed by these publishers. some people willingly choose to do it because they are promised a prestigious looking product and they have the money to burn

people sometimes fight over what indie vs self-publishing actually means. some argue, for example, that indie publishing is still being published by a small independent press vs self-publishing which is an author acting as their own publisherโ€ฆ

i think we can all agree neither is vanity publishing

Actually no deportations have to happen. They're not laws of physics. There's no deportation rule akin to gravity or dark energy. Hope this helps.

There's something particularly disturbing about content warnings, a tool only used by the writers who care the most about preventing readers engaging with something they might find distressing, being used by censors to ban art in the name of safety.

Boss. I'm tired boss. We been doing these experiments and studies since the 60s and 70s and the outcome has been the same in them all.

The pushback against these measures aren't because they don't work. It's because they DO work and they'll include peoples they wish to exclude from society.
