  1. Shenanigans continue apace in the process of claiming rights to the Anthropic settlement monies--because of course they do.

    Please share with everyone you think may be interested or who may know someone it would help.

  7. This coming Saturday afternoon, Sept 12th, 2pm I hope you'll join us at the Riverview Public Library for the launch of local author Paul Burns' novel The Druid and the Dragon.

    There will be cake! Coffee! Fellowship! And maybe a short speech or two, along with copies of Paul's book.

    You are under no obligation to attend, of course. But if you don't, it might make a certain already kind of grouchy dragon a little cranky. Just sayin'!

  8. Bon plan #IndiePublishing : -15% cette semaine (jusqu'au 11 septembre) sur l'impression à la demande chez Lulu avec le code BOOKBIZ15

  9. “Save seeds, remember one another, refuse silence.”

    Our warmest thanks to Tessa McWatt for this generous blurb for Wendy Waring’s HUNGER. Join us at The City & The City on September 10 to launch this “compelling, lyrical novel”!

  10. 2059: Shira sozialisiert ein KI-Wesen, ihre Großmutter Malkah erzählt dem Cyborg Gutenachtgeschichten. Dann wird die Stadt angegriffen …

    Wir bringen die Neuauflage von Marge Piercys feministischem SF-Roman!
    Ich habe den Text noch mal poliert und war verblüfft, wie ultrabrisant und aktuell das Buch auch nach 35 Jahren noch ist.

    »Romane erbauen uns Alternativstädte, den Städten übergestülpt, durch deren Straßen wir gehen. Ein Roman kann Städte von 1590 wiedererrichten, er kann uns durch Städte führen, die vielleicht 2137 erbaut werden. Jene Städte der Vergangenheit und der Zukunft und des Niemals können uns helfen, unsere eigenen Erfahrungen mit unseren Städten zu begreifen. Eine Zukunft, nach der wir uns sehnen, kann in uns Tatkraft wecken, die sie vielleicht erst herbeiführt. Eine Zukunft, die wir fürchten, kann uns Antrieb geben, sie zu verhindern.« Marge Piercy

  11. Paperbacks now available! 🌍📘

    Three good things about this moment:
    1️⃣ Print on demand means sustainable production and global access.
    2️⃣ Getting books to readers is the heart of independent publishing.
    3️⃣ Readers! You make the whole ecosystem real.

    Rail: A High Speed Adventure is now open for paperback presale worldwide. 🔗 bit.ly/3ThRP6t

    About Rail:
    Drawn into a globe‑spanning infrastructure proposal with uncertain motives, a designer confronts ecological ethics, corporate ambition, and the meaning of home as her past and future converge.

    Words from Global architect Raya Ani:
    "Building on The Erenwine Agenda, this work expands the conversation between architecture, environment, and responsibility — moving from personal conflict into global systems and their consequences."

    Ebooks are available now, worldwide.

  12. News Summary: Kobo CEO Reveals 45% of Self-Published Submissions Rejected for Suspected AI Content

    I missed this story when it first came out a fortnight ago (I think because the title of the article by Rakuten Kobo's Russ Tamblyn is decidedly oblique, so I just moved on). Fortunately the substantive content has generated several more helpfully titled spinout columns since then, so I'm circling back to the original. A single sentence is at the heart of this piece, and it contains a figure that provides additional context for much of the recent debate over AI-generated content. Tamblyn is speaking in his capacity as president and CEO at Rakuten Kobo.

  13. I know this is an unreasonable ask, but in case I'm missing something awesome—

    Is there a website like #Ream but one that doesn't rely on Stripe (anti-erotica payment processor), doesn't give works to Amazon.com (destroyer of worlds), doesn't promote X/Twitter in its official communications, has a website that actually works (so stories can consistently be added, edited, and read), *and* allows speculative queer #romance fiction of various lengths by multiple authors?

  14. Promotion surprise chez Lulu pour Halloween : -20% sur l'impression à la demande en utilisant le code GHOSTWRITER20 lors de la commande ! Et ça tombe bien, car je viens justement de mettre à jour #SansCœur (livre de règles et Bréviaire du Revenant) en version 1.2 🙂 lulu.com/spotlight/julienpirou

    #JeuDeRole #JDR #IndiePublishing #TTRPG #Tabletop

  15. En attendant un point vidéo plus complet, voici quelques nouvelles de l'avancée de #LaBannièreDeLaLiberté.

    J'avance lentement mais sûrement. Comme toujours, mon emploi du temps a été pas mal chamboulé et j'ai parfois été obligé de passer les projets #JDR au second plan... Mais j'avance, et je reste confiant pour une sortie au printemps.
    - J'attends encore quelques illustrations.
    - Mon relecteur m'a envoyé ses retours au sujet de la première partie du manuscrit.
    - Je viens de terminer le chapitre consacré à l'équipement.
    - J'attaque la section consacrée aux PNJ "génériques".
    - Resteront ensuite un chapitre sur la progression des personnages, et quelques aventures prêtes à jouer.

    Je pense que le livre final fera dans les 380 pages. Il sera plus épais que ceux de #LoreAndLegacy et #SansCœur, notamment car l'univers est beaucoup plus détaillé.

  16. Le livre de règles de #SansCœur vient d'être mis à jour en version 1.1, que ce soit en PDF ou en impression sur Lulu ! Idem pour les ouvrages et aides de jeu dérivés (Bréviaire, écran du MJ...)
    Si vous avez acheté votre PDF sur une boutique autre que DTRPG, Itch.io ou Game On Tabletop, la mise à jour du fichier prendra sans doute quelques jours, mais ça va venir 🙂
    Pour la liste des errata de cette version 1.1, rendez-vous ici :

  17. Reçu aujourd’hui mon exemplaire de relecture de #SansCœur (ou, comme j’aime l’appeler, la « version beta »).

    C’est la première fois que je bais proposer un ouvrage en couleurs, donc je vais aussi devoir faire quelques ajustements (c’est un peu trop sombre…)

    Une version noir & blanc sera également dispo, pour les budgets plus modestes :)

    Comme vous pouvez le voir, le livre est désormais très proche :)

  18. Je viens de terminer les derniers textes de #SansCœur, et de les envoyer en relecture. J'attends encore les versions finales de quelques illustrations pour le bestiaire, et roulez les damnés ! 🙂
