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 🙄

Private Equity is often a terrible steward, but so are most other forms of conglomerate capitalism.

2318 followers · 244 posts · Server tweesecake.socialWith inspiration from Rockstar, I pirated a copy of one of the Amazon exclusive anthologies I was a contributor so that I could grab my story from inside of it, and then sell the story to a few magazines that accept reprints because I couldn’t copy and paste the Kindle version I purchased, and the publisher no longer exists. Let this be a lesson to other writers. Keep everything, even if you sell something. #Publishing #Piracy

This never ceases to make me angry. $112 (Australian dollars) for an ebook version of Cassell's Latin Dictionary. This is the 1968 edition of a book first published in 1959, itself updating a dictionary first published in 1854.
So the publisher has added precisely nothing to this edition, apart from standard searchability and of course DRM restrictions.
(Fortunately I got a hard copy for $9 at my uni's alumni book sale.)

As a blind person who doesn’t read print, this line in the article linked below is exciting: ‘For the first time, Bookshop .org hopes that independent bookshops will soon be able to offer eBooks and audiobooks to their customers via the platform.’ via The Publishing Post

But if it's your own findings, I say knock yourself out!

I've been using LuLu to order printed copies, but it's not the easiest for people to order from.
