Did you know it's Bandcamp Friday, that glorious day when Bandcamp waives its revenue share and gives the artists all the money? IT IS! If you've got some spare $$, go support the artists!

November and December typically account for 20%+ of an indie bookshop’s annual sales.
Our support is needed to help them keep the lights on in the new year. Shop small this holiday season & beyond, so your indie can support your community in 2026 & beyond.

Self-published books are amazing.
Their quality, value, and diversity are excellent.
To claim otherwise is a skill issue.

50 dollars for an author, a small business creator, artist, etc goes so much more than 50 dollars in a billionaire's billions. they wont even notice if it was missing, and they'd happily burn it just to do it.
Shopping small is meaningful!

If we can only have art from people who "aren't in it for the money" that means we can only have art from privileged middle-class dilettantes. Making art being a viable career is responsible for nearly all worthwhile art, and if it's not a viable career any more we will get drastically less of it.

The thing about the IngramSpark price stuff is, I gotta eat and pay the rent. This is my whole job now. So if that means focusing more on the things I actually make any money at all on - digital ebooks and audiobooks - so be it. It’s my livelihood.

I would be curious to know who of my readers buys the physical versions of the books *exclusively* without also getting the ebook or audiobook version.
With my print distributor raising their prices yet again in February I think it would be good to gather some data.

good god with ingramspark hiking up print costs AGAIN I don't even want to know what the hardcover of Shattered City is going to cost.
Silver Blood is already $30 and I get pennies from it. Shattered City is over 100 pages longer. Like. I can't expect people to shell out $40 or more for a book.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.
