I think librarians and archivists will be even more important in the AI age. People will want verifiable information. We will need to keep evidence. We will need to continue teaching information literacy skills in an age where nothing can be trusted at first glance.

Had a look at some illustrations for an as-yet-unannounced 2027 title. Will be worth the added cost as well as the extra layout work. IMO you should just sign up for the book club so you get all the books.

I have zero desire to be rich. My big dream in life is the means to sustain a literary life with my partner, writing, running the bookstore, doing the work ourselves. But books cost money and great indie publishers like @malarkeybooks.bsky.social + Deep Overstock deserve compensation for their work

I wish all my rejections were like the 2017 Academy Awards. Sorry, not you. Wait, sorry, we meant you.
