- And so my watch begins. Welcome to the world, little Benny 💚
- I broke my month-long writing slump — got 1172 words today. Haha, take that, depression!
- Bob the Wizard's cover art may have been AI-assisted, but far more disturbing is the witch hunt behavior of a few individuals I've seen. Very little empathy extended to the author, who was lied to by the cover artist. The cover artist shouldn't have lied about what they were
- The only definition of a "real writer" that I'm concerned with is whether you have the alt code for an em dash memorized
- To the absolute chad who read 2 pages so I don't have a 0 royalties month... I see you, and I salute you 🫡
- Hey everyone! 👋 I'm Josh (only my mom calls me Joshua, when she's mad) and my #SPFBO 9 book is my debut, An Ocean of Others! It's a DnD-inspired adventure about a ragtag crew unraveling the mystery behind reality-bending monsters that emit auras of the emotion they felt in
- Holy moly! An Ocean of Others is a #SPFBO9 SEMI-FINALIST! 😱 I hate when books have those unremovable stickers like "Now an HBO series!" or whatever other hoity-toity awards they've received. So, I spent a good long while determining the optimal spot to place my semi-finalist

Today our judges say goodbye to our second group of four books in this year's Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO)! AND we announce our 6th Place Semi-Finalist! - JI 🐉 fantasy-faction.com/2023/self-publ… Background image by Amaan Ali. #SPFBO9 #SPFBOreviews - Guys I'ma be honest, if I see the words "book digital marketer" or some permutation of such in your profile, I'm going to assume you're a bot and insta-block.
- Normalize recommending other indie books in the back of your book
- These nerds don't understand that the Orc City meme is putting millions of eyes on John's work. Even if 99% of them think it sucks (and that's being generous to the haters), that's still a huge publicity boost. Congrats to the haters—you played yourselves.“You can’t get in on the meme we’re using to mock you!” Lol. Lmao, even.
- Oh yeah, it's all coming together. Might I interest you in a physical ARC?
- 🎉🎊🥳 Happy Launch Day! My debut fantasy novel, AN OCEAN OF OTHERS is out today, and to celebrate I'm giving away 5 signed copies along with some swag. Follow me and retweet (or QT) this post to enter! Winners will be randomly selected on Saturday, September 24. Good luck!
- Now this is my kind of pile on — a huge heaping of praise for the incredible cover artists in our community! Shout out to the inimitable @FelixOrtizArts for An Ocean of Others and many of my other favorites!
Let's take a moment to thank our cover artists for their amazing work. Please quote retweet with their art! 😍 I'm eternally thankful to @AleColucciArt for his work on my covers. I wouldn't have managed half of the interest my series got without them.
