We’ve returned to the olden days, when word-of-mouth was the only real way to advertise. As an author, if you enjoy a book, please: tell your friends. Your group chat, your sewing circle, your family WhatsApp, your work Slack, the voice channel of your MMORPG guild, anything.

Hey, so. I understand that this is anecdotal and not research, but. It is WILD how useless social media has become for promo. It's a fucking disgrace, really.

Working on getting things set for #GlasgowWorldcon @glasgow2024.bsky.social! Our authors Heather Rose Jones @heatherrosejones.bsky.social, Alex Acks @katsudon.bsky.social, Jennie Goloboy @jenniegoloboy.bsky.social and #CatherineLundoff will all be there! Will we see you there? glasgow2024.org

As a reminder, we have a list with most of the authors who donated books!! In the next few days I’ll be adding some of the last minute BINs and authors who donated something other than books. (If you’re in the latter column and want to help me out/promo in replies, please do!!)

People have been looking for an easy way to keep track of the authors donating to @romancingthevote.bsky.social and their books! First, you can always look through the auction, even after it’s over! Second, I’ve created a book challenge list in StoryGraph! app.thestorygraph.com/reading_chal...

RtV 2024app.thestorygraph.com Check out books by the authors who donated to the Romancing the Vote auction for voting rights!

$5k zoomed by just like that! $180,000 raised AND COUNTING! 6 minutes to betray everyone you love: http://auction.roman...

#RomancingtheVote is wrapping up in less than 2 hours so we thought we’d show off a bit! This is of the goodies from the International Wolf Center that will go to the auction winner! This is a lovely small painting of a rainbow wolf on a postcard-sized piece of wood.

#Booksky Looking for something productive to do and have a few extra $? The #RomancingtheVote auction runs through 7/5 8PM EDT and there’s a lot of great stuff! We’d love to see a few more bids on Catherine Lundoff’s menopausal werewolves package, for instance! www.32auctions.com/organization...

Since we have some new friends along for the ride, I just want to give y'all a heads up about how the Auction Aftermath will go! (And I think we have a streamlined process this year, wheee!) First off: the auction ends at 8pm. But we have extended bidding on for maximum chaos!

Looking at #RomancingtheVote current stats and you can still talk to acclaimed and groundbreaking romance author Beverly Jenkins for $250, but her annotated book is clocking in at $1300? Seems like it should be the other way? #Romancelandia www.32auctions.com/organization...

ICYMI. Sorry to annoy. Moving is terrifying...

OK! Here's your late-morning reminder that I'm selling a big chunk of my book collection. Also: comics, mags, etc. Lots of SF/F. Some H. Some Non-fic. Goal: 350 out the door by Mon! Shipping available! Find you some books. Help me pay for a move/reduce! Tell your friends :P tiny.cc/dukebooksale

Maybe this is a good time to evaluate how we view and treat the “cool” guys in sf/f and related fields. I’ve been in fandom and pro spaces for 4 decades now and the number of folks at the top of the food chain that I would trust, given 100% adoration, to be great humans all the time is…small. 🤔

Y'all, I hadn't even made this image yet!!! But WOOHOO, we are at $140,000 raised this year! To celebrate, I stealth launched a few more wonderful autographed books into the BIN category! http://auction.roman...

Personal Me: No one needs you to have a good public wallow in despair right now, including you. It ain’t over yet…if you show up in whatever ways you can. Volunteer, donate, participate, vote, help others vote, support organizations and causes you believe in, the list is long. Despair != strategy.
