From Skip Rhudy: I’ve got a post-graduate certificate in artificial intelligence (AI). I’m also an author, and I believe writers and publishers should not use #AI in publishing. ... But the reasons I oppose using AI are not the usual ones you hear.

Beloved Tor editor Teresa Nielsen Hayden once wrote about interviewing candidates for publishing jobs. If they could spell "accommodate," they might make good copy editors.
Decades ago, after fumbling it myself, I asked 30 other experts how to spell the word. All my fellow marketing writers plus managers, editors, tech writers, etc., in the corporate communications office where I worked. Only 1 person — a lowly (but beloved) typist — got it right.
I'm bothered by Amazon's recent change to prevent users from downloading books they've paid for, locking them into using Kindle devices.
As an author, it also bothers me that Amazon is the store people prefer to buy my books from.
Personally, I would suggest buying my work from Smashwords, which gives you a simple download in EPUB format, with no DRM.

If you don't know much about Judy-Lynn del Rey and her influence on fantasy and science fiction, I encourage you to take a few moments to read this article. I didn't know much about her, and I found this quite interesting.

This is not good… not good at all. Our underregulated economy is fostering the growth of #CorporateMonopolies which only leads to more inequity both in terms of liquidity (future book deals will remunerate less ‘marketable/favoured’ #authors even less than is the case now) and in terms of equity (concentration of publishers will reduce the diversity of available books due to the increasing focus on profit margins and market ‘shaping’).
In Sum, the vacuuming of smaller houses into larger corporate publishing conglomerates is bad for authors and bad for #readers and bad for society.

The Bookseller'Sporror' and The Substance: horror fiction spreads its spores as submissions pile inThere has been a bumper number of submissions for horror-fiction texts that explore abstract and escapist themes such as sporror (fungal horror), The Substance-style body horror and commodification of breast milk.
What’s that I see at the top of my reading pile?
Oh, NBD, just a copy of my book. Not its final form, but still, the first time I've held it in my hands.
A tangible version of something that’s existed in more abstract, emotional, and digital forms for years.
