Do you have a little struggling with reading? Do you want to enjoy the love of animal rescue? May I suggest...

So many conversations recently with other authors about moving into self-pub or diversifying into other creative fields.

Georgina Kiersten @ingloriousgigi.bsky.social · 3d

You should be concerned about the rate of authors leaving publishing. Especially from marginalized communities. This year I have seen so many authors just pack it up and go. And it's only getting worse.

Crapping on adults who enjoy reading YA books or middle grade books or genre books or pretty much any kind of book that they like reading is so freaking lame.

Shaming people for what they read is dumb.

Life is short. Read what you enjoy reading. It's not a competition.
