Prepared 3 new Auts stories for my Patreon cue.

Download all the files needed for my store’s Tenebrous Subscription to be up for the end of the month.

Mailed out paperbacks of the new Radicci Sisters “The Deceiver” to Patreon subscribers.

Might have done more if I hadn’t locked myself out of the building waiting for my daughter’s bus. Had to wait for the key 🙄

This *could* be an opportunity … Who will take it?
“One #publisher … witnessed a more than 30% drop in year-over-year referral #traffic. Another said they’ve seen a roughly 40% drop. … Those who publish more hard news-focused content have seen far steeper drop-offs.
“‘#Facebook nuked everyone’s traffic,’ a #news-focused publisher told me, adding the platform had tweaked its all-mighty algorithm to provide a fix, but that the adjustment ‘hadn’t fixed’ the problem much.”

I sent a #Submission to magazine #Publisher who says they normally respond int two months, and it has been over six months.

I have sent a follow up email on August 2.

No reply.

Are they:

I finally chatted with a #publisher about my nearly finished book, only to learn that it’s not as close as I’d hoped. I will be seeking input from my siblings about what additional things they recall from our years of #Pentecostal church in the #1970s and #1980s. If you want to share any memories of your own, please do!

3 #Canadian #media #publisher s have filed an absurd complaint about
#Meta with the Canadian #Competition Bureau. The complaints misrepresents the Canadian Online News Act (Bill #C18) and contradicts itself several times:

I think you're giving #Google far too much credit here; it isn't "almost 100% only oriented around #publisher interests", it is exactly 100% that. The use cases they give for this proposal helping users are garbage examples, and authors can barely even pretend they're actually valid.

I wrote a short thread about this #WEI proposal.

#update from my #publisher :

‘Quarantine Notes is also live on #Smashwords for all those non #Kindle people.

Smashwords will distribute to Barnes & Noble for the #Nook, #Kobo, #Sony, and a bunch of other platforms (including those that sell #ebooks to #libraries ), which is especially good for ebook #readers outside the #usa where Kindle isn’t quite as dominant.’

So the #Publisher that has "rewritten" #RoaldDahl #Books is now adding "content warning" to the #Discworld series by the wonderful author Sir #TerryPratchett for being too "eighties"... Is this #Satire? I'm usually quick at pricking up as I'm a very sarcastic person.
#BooksOfMastodon.

But this is just both 🤷‍♀️ and 🤦‍♂️ in equal measures.

Da es auf meinem Blog keine Werbung gibt, drohe ich - im Gegensatz zu anderen digitalen "Nachrichtenquellen" - den Nutzerinnen und Nutzern auch nicht damit, Maßnahmen gegen sie zu ergreifen, wenn sie die Werbung auf der Seite ausblenden.

Solche Drohungen sind mir in Impressen von Publishern begegnet, die bei Google News gelisteten sind. Darüber werde ich demnächst im teufelswerk berichten...

Auch auf Mastodon ist es, wie sonstwo: Der Großteil der Unternehmen, die von Kommunikation leben, betreibt auf Social Media kaum welche. Seien es Tageszeitungen oder Rundfunkanstalten (Ausnahme: Arte) - sie alle betreiben ihre Accounts als reine Topdown-Sendekanäle.

Sincere question for #romance #ghostwriter #ghostwriters, #publisher #publishers and #editor #editors:

A client has had two romance ghostwriters in a row now whose first couple of books were great, but then when they got to the third book and beyond the quality dropped to unreadably horrible, almost as if a different person had written them. I'm guessing this is because the first books were spec pieces they'd worked on for months, and now the 60-day turnaround is catching up to them. Thoughts?

Ready or not

A major #publisher, #AxelSpringer, is replacing many human "editors, print production staff, subeditors, proofreaders and photo editors" with #AI.
https://futurism.com/the-byte/media-publisher-replaces-jobs-ai

This is at the tabloid, #Bild.

Without snark, tabloid publishing is not the same as scholarly publishing. But we should ask how far the Axel Springer thinking will carry over to scholarly publishing.
