@hwjohnston7 @CatArthurian The music and film industry have spent hundreds of millions over decades and failed to even make a dent in … only thing that slowed it was inexpensive streaming subscription models, which those are going out the window now too as streamers keep hiking the prices

I really think authors globally need to band together and create some kind of anti-piracy program. We work hard to write books to entertain and inspire readers. To have our books taken and sold for triple their price is heartbreaking.

Can someone explain to me like I am 5 why people sign book contracts with publishers that have lile 100 followers on X? And I don't mean this in a bad way. I am genuinely confused.

@hwjohnston7 So minimal effort I get lots of people grabbing my books when I make them free … downside is there is no “sunk cost” fallacy quietly whispering that they need to “get their money’s worth” by reading it — so it can help with exposure which may lead to reviews but not a sure thing

I was told about this way you can dramatically improve your Amazon rankings. You make the book complete free. How effective is it? Does it earn more reviews for your books? #indie #publishing

@SweetNovember48 Makes total sense from the publishers business ops standpoint. They off loads the really resource intensive low ROI discovery to people who they only have to pay (indirectly) on delivery of something worthwhile (same reason agents increasingly act as first line editors)

@CLBroogle I've always wondered about that. I don't see many submissions to publishers. I've always focused on agents. Thanks for sharing that.

JK Rowling got 12 rejections. Stephen King got 30. Twelve? Thirty? I would genuinely throw a party for those numbers. Invite friends. Cater it. Make speeches 😂

I have my own domain that I keep active, but I don't have a website. It almost seems pointless with how social media is. I probably should make it but I am SO bad at that stuff that I wouldn't know how to even start. Do you maintain a website?

Can you name a tv show you've watched through several times? I'm watching Chernobyl for the 4th time 👍

@byrachelrussell As I say all the time only sure way to make money in this game is from other authors … it is actually sad

adding onto this: even if the cost is relatively cheap, be discerning. if a writer is offering editorial services & their sole claim to exp is having an agent or book deal, walk away. you can & will get the same for free from the writing community at large
Beth 💫 is querying@BMFwrites

The price gouging on some query review packages is InSaNe. $1k for a query, synopsis & 10 page review? In this economy?! Writers, plz research your options. Don't bury yourself in debt because someone has a strong following. There are so many FREE or cost-friendly options.

@Sophie_Bowns A key part is the nature of reader and audience discovery mechanics Only a small number of readers are exploratory — willing to read unknowns Everyone else select from known or social/para-social recommendations as a form of social proof which results in the Mathew effect

Authors named in the video that she claims have their covers made by AI @williamjadams3 @Kariem28 @CalPLogan @realmattfalcon Her process was checking to see if people credited an artist and if they didn't, she ran them through three AI detectors Pure BS youtu.be/otlphAQpupg?si…

HEY SO . It is *not okay* to accuse ⚡67⚡ authors of using AI covers in a YouTube video by going on a rant and then naming all of them without ACTUAL PROOF like wtf? The height of irresponsibility. And I'm not one of the authors accused, but I am HOT.

Should we offer reviewers books for free or is it normal for them to pay for the books?🤔

@ForgottenSpire Not necessarily but very much a very low probability event… generally dependent up that first reader having a whole lot of friends

I am starting to think that the idea of the reader who enjoys a story and tells all their friends, thus turning a book into an overnight bestseller with appearances on Good Morning America, is a myth. Can anyone confirm this?

@NikoleCallihan Although I would aspire to really creating deep impact on an audience…I am equally satisfied if I can offer simple escapism because everyone deserves a chance to step out of whatever is going on and be lost in a story

Is there a difference between: Wanting to create and tell stories (for entertainment or to change lives) And Wanting to be a writer? (As Art, for entertainment or to change lives) Which are you? And why do you think there is or isn't a difference?
