Interested in my chats with Ed Greenwood, Joyce Chng, or Tad Williams, or in my British Fantasy Society guest post "Every Writer, A Writer"? They're linked here, on my website: edebell.com

Hey! It's been a minute! I've got two hours to fund this audiobook on #Kickstarter and this translation on #kofi. Anyone feeling like a hero tonight? #BlackArt #AfricanArt #JewishArt #SmallPress #Indie

(sorry, A.L.'s name is DeLeon, I copied from the official program and should have caught that)

... ahead, and as progressive and mutually supportive as genre fandom seems, we're in no way immune. So let's talk about how to actually provide support to emerging writers, how to spot and avoid bad actors so we can ensure more people get lifted up instead of stepped on.

Less than two weeks until @ConFusionMI I'll hang out a bit after the signing Saturday, if anyone would like to say hi or chat!

@NYurtsaba Thinking of you.

I miss my father. The day before he died, I told him "You're going on an adventure, and I can't go with you. I'm jealous." He told me, "We have many more adventures to come, Nikola." This is a grief I have never known. What a new adventure it is. 💔

My gig schedule at the 50th anniversary of @ConFusionMI in a couple weeks. Looking forward to doing a panel with my homie @edebellauthor 💗 hope to see some of you there ✌🏾

The Open Letter to SFWA *will* close after this Friday. 1) If you want to sign and haven't, here's the form. 2) If you know a current or past SFWA member who you think might like to sign and you don't see them on the list, please send them the link. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Roughly - my favorite 5 (non Atthis Arts) reads of 2024: 1) Abbott 1979, Saladin Ahmed and Sami Kivelä 2) Breath Warmth & Dream, Zig Zag Claybourne 3) Countess, Suzan Palumbo 4) Shigidi and the Brass Head of Obalufon, Wole Talabi 5) The Butterfly Disjunct, Stewart C Baker

Delightful! I want to thank my friends @rleebyers and @TheEdVerse for creating worlds and stories of bravery and heart, and for living with gallant spirits such that I could imagine them in their midst. Now, to Book 2. 🔥 app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/ef772e…

** Now with words spelled correctly... ? ** 1) Luck not guaranteed; that's not how luck works. 2) Drawing sent separately for direct-shipped orders. 3) Let me be your concierge! Give me a mood or taste and I'll let you know a book that might fit. No pressure; asking is super!

Let me be your concierge! Give me a mood or taste publicly or DM, and I'll let you know if we have a book you might like. With no pressure at all. Just asking is wonderful!

ALRIGHT. The fancy sale got one order so HERE WE GO. 1) Luck not guaranteed; that's not how luck works. 2) Direct-shipped orders will have the drawing sent separately. 3) No, I didn't ask Chris - *feel chaos vibes and purchase and/or share?*

I'd really like to see this one succeed! If you can back or share, please do. kickstarter.com/projects/vricc… #Kickstarter #KickstarterReads @KickstarterRead

In awards consideration, please remember that some authors struggle with social media or have been killed. @atthisarts has become a home to many such authors, and so we've compiled our works, with eligibility by award, here: atthisarts.com/awards/atthis-… Grateful for shares and buzz.

@nytebird45 @Gen_Con You said it! I wrote it down so I wouldn't forget. Then I forgot I wrote it down. And thus, the power of poetry, the spoken word, and the written word all in one. 💛✨

@edebellauthor @Gen_Con Dear @edebellauthor, wonderful truth through you!

Trying to reclaim my life and self-care and in cleaning my reading nook, came across this note. Which I’m *pretty* sure was written during @nytebird45’s reading and discussion at @Gen_Con. In case you need this too.

This offer's resulted in 1 sale (thank you!) and Chris cheered and said, "That's four books from the storage and they get a good deal for all those stories! Now if we could just get 100 of those..." Maybe not, but - it's a good deal for indie short fic! atthisarts.com/product/stocki…

Received my first email from Gen Con today. It was a permanent, unappealable ban. Thought you should know. edebell.com/2024/12/11/rev…

@aaronkfoley Time to fight the real fight. Against small businesses and decorated tape and things this guy wants to see less of. 😐

Imagine being a small-scale artisan in Michigan making quirky goods paying homage to your beloved home state and one of the most-followed journalists in the same state tells his 41,000 followers your handicraft is "obnoxious" and overpriced x.com/ChadLivengood/…
