"I can't afford to support my favorite author right now, I—"

Reviews.

Reviews are free AND they are a gift to authors that can keep on giving (i.e., exposure, marketing, algo boosts, etc.)

Please, give the gift of reviews to your authors this holiday season. It really can make a difference!

Pst. I have a golden foil print of this one.

Unfortunately, our post service decided to go bonkers starting Jan 1st and is setting up a flat rate for everything under 1kg - 15 EUR to EU, 24 EUR outside of it.

So I recommend grabbing it now (while it's still 7-9 EUR).

The image is of a comic titled "Winter." Panel one depicts monarch butterflies flying. They say, "We take a long journey south." Panel two depicts a bear hibernating underground. It says, "I fall into a deep, impenetrable sleep." Panel three depicts a squirrel holding an acorn, with other nuts scattered around it. Off camera, someone asks, "How do YOU survive?" Panel four depicts the squirrel having grown enormously round after having eaten all the nuts.

you want our books for free? join our ARC program, you can claim anything we've published at no cost, all we ask in return is a 100 word minimum honest review.

yet when we put out calls for ARC readers, we get mostly crickets...

...and I know some of our books have been pirated.

Freeing the Spirits of the Sea
This digital painting is set on a rocky ocean shore. The sky is dark and stormy. The environment is very cool and blue. A girl with black and white hair, wearing a spotted dark-purple cloak, is summoning sparkling, ghostly whales and sea creatures from the ocean. She stands on a rock, lit by the yellow sparkling creatures above.
