Retribution. Redemption. Revenge. It all starts with a murder. The Shrouded Port, a gaslamp dark fantasy trilogy, is out for pre-order now🖤a.co/d/h4tlDTq #booklovers #booktwt #booktwitter #amreading #gaslampfantasy #darkfantasy

Should I tackle my pile of editing like a responsible human or follow my drafting muse like a chaos goblin? 🤔 #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amwritingfantasy

@CWallace_Author Interesting, I saw Booksirens but wasn't sure if it was legit or not. I'll definitely check out the Goodreads forum too. Thanks!!

@inezrodk I used booksirens to get some, they are about $2 per ARC, but they vet the readers. I also had some luck posting on the forum on Goodreads: Advanced Copies for Review & Giveaways, I did have several of those people request physical copies, though.

I'm trying to give away free #advancereadercopies of paperback and ebook versions of my fantasy novel but haven't had many takers. Any advice? #WritingCommunity #authorcommunity

@MarjorieBrimer I feel like the platform has changed a lot since it changed hands. For me, interaction is lower than ever before, except for one tweet that went viral and got so many responses that I gave up trying to interact, and at least 3-5 new bots or scam accounts follow me every day...

@AletheaRLyons Eeee, that's amazing!! People will certainly, absolutely, undoubtedly love The Hiding 🥳

2 weeks until #FantasyCon. I'm excited and terrified. Any mutuals going, please say hello. 💜 I'm also going to be reading from The Hiding. 🫠

@knwhitton It's all terrible 😭

@AuthorFranWong Has to be Tamora Pierce... It instantly brings me back to my teenage years ❤️

@CWallace_Author I want to know too... Amazon ads mystify me...

#writingcommunity favorite tutorials for Amazon ads? Something that is step-by-step and doesn't just paralyze you with way too much information.

I don't want to jinx it, but showers are still my #1 place to unblock writing ideas. (now I've said that, it'll probably stop being fool-proof, lol 🤦‍♀️) #WritingCommunity #amwriting

@CWallace_Author So cool, congrats!!!

The Light Keeper audiobook is one the whole family can enjoy together! Bring a little excitement and adventure to bedtime and discuss how we learn from our mistakes with this delightful urban fantasy! #audible #audiobooks #familyfun #mgbooks

@AletheaRLyons Oooo, so exciting!! Let us know when it's out... Can't wait to get my little grubby little hands on it!

I just signed a short story vague thing. Watch this space! 🥰

I don't... I think I'll always feel like three children sitting on each other's shoulders wearing an adult's trenchcoat 😂 #FantasyIndiesAugust

@CWallace_Author Yeah, there are a lot of features to uncover. I've also seen a lot of amazing ones that are like video mood boards, but I haven't been able to nail that style yet... Always something to learn!

@inezrodk Your Canva skills are crazy good! I mostly use canva too, but you've inspired me to dive deeper. I think I get hung up on finding perfect pictures that look exactly like a character or a location instead of evoking the right feeling. Design is not my forte! 😬

I resisted as long as I could. But I am now on #Booktok and I am every bit as obsessed as I predicted I would be 😭 (Check the comments if you want to see just how deep I've gone, haha 😵) #WritingCommunity

@CWallace_Author Oh no, that's so annoying! Glad it was only two pages, but still, that's two pages too many 😭

Pressed Ctrl+A today and kept typing, thought it was a new document and closed it, saying "no" to the save question. I was trying to type "All" with a capital A and hit Ctrl instead of shift and effectively deleted two pages of my WIP. I'm grateful it was only 2!

In my fantasy, I would be popping bottles and celebrating... In reality, I would wallow in self-doubt and panic about getting reviews 🤦‍♀️😅 #FantasyIndiesAugust

I have an annoying habit of not talking about a book until it is fully written and has had several passes of edits... Sometimes, I'll even wait until the whole trilogy is done. Not a great way to build up hype🙈 #FantasyIndieAugust

@CWallace_Author Yay! I'll follow you too! I'm still figuring out how to use the app but I'm enjoying it so far... Enjoying it a little TOO much, haha 😅 I used Canva to make the videos... Otherwise, I wouldn't have the tech skills, lol 🥴

@inezrodk Followed you! Your video looks amazing! What program did you use? Or did you build it on TT?

@knwhitton I've been there! I wrote an entire trilogy, and the 3rd book was SO GOOD but the 1st book was SO AWFUL (b/c I'd learnt so much through the process). I edited and edited and edited and it just wasn't working so I rewrote the 1st book. Well worth it b/c it's so much better now!
