I'm enjoying the new Fallout TV series. Was not prepared for the gruesome hyper-violence. (Prob means I didn't select the Bloody Mess perk often enough...)

For someone who can't draw a stick figure, I've absurdly strong opinions on book cover art. This was an enlightening listen.
This week, @SteveLeard (a freelance cover artist and fellow podcaster!) joins us to demystify all things cover design: processes, briefs, trends, industry pay, the problem with thumbnails... and finally, the looming specter of generative AI. publishingrodeo.wordpress.co…

My wife gifted me this (appropriate) whiskey set when I decided to pursue trade publishing. I figured I'd enjoy the first one when I first signed with a professional literary agent. So very excited to be joining @Michelle4Laughs at @StormLiterary

*Exciting news for Authors!* Many of you may remember when I wrote last year about my worries regarding audiobook royalties (particularly for independent authors). I’m happy to say that this stand has borne some fruit. I’ve spent this last year in contact with Audible and other audio distributors, and have pushed carefully–but forcefully–for them to step up. A few weeks ago, three key officers high in Audible’s structure flew to Dragonsteel offices and presented for us a new royalty structure they intend to offer to independent writers and smaller publishers. brandonsanderson.com/regardi…

Let's talk behind-the-scenes publishing. I want to break down everything I can about NYXIA. My hope is that a full look at one person's publishing experience can help you navigate your own one day. 🧵

While I don't often tweet about my science, this was a huge collaborative effort I felt worth sharing as we hope it will benefit many leukemia patients in the coming years. jci.org/articles/view/169519

An occultist and the ghost of his murdered fiancée have 1 night to scour a burning city before any trace of their kidnapped daughter vanishes into smoke & ash. But the kidnapper won't hesitate to resurrect the literal skeletons of their past to hinder any pursuit #PitDark #A #DF

Been thinking about why I enjoyed S2 of The Wheel of Time so much more than S1. It's the S2's focus on the villains--which, for me, were always the most interesting characters in the books, as well.

Wheel of Time season 2 has been an order of magnitude better than season 1. I like this trajectory.

Another book I recently finished and felt worth a mention: Leech by @HironEnnes. Gothic horror with body-snatcher worms and one of the most unique/intriguing narrators I've encountered. #WritingCommunity
