Will Bryan improve Pete's story opening, or destroy it forever?

Finding an editor who cares about something you've created and wants it to be the best it can possibly be is an experience I wish for every writer.
There's a special place in Heaven for such people.

I have already bought a few books, but I haven’t found many that match my reading interests. So, I’m raising my budget! 📚❤️
This year, I am buying 50 indie books instead of 108, with a budget of $15 per paperback.
If your book was published within the last 12 months and costs under $15, pitch it in the comments with your book link!

Last year, I made a post supporting indie authors and ended up buying 108 books! Some I gifted to friends and family, and a few I read myself.
This year, I’m doing it again! 📚❤️
Indie authors, drop your book links below! If your paperback is priced under $10, I’d love to buy a copy.
As the founder of @ProgressWings, I believe supporting authors should go beyond just words. Let’s get more indie books into readers’ hands!
Let’s see how many books we can support this year!

I heard that a photo of yourself, your book and a houseplant will get you 100 sales; is that correct? Prove me right...?

Latest review for In Between!
I'm so tickled that the reader compared it to TVD and Charmed!
And Ben?... Just wait until book 2!

I’ve listened to multiple audiobooks this week on my commutes to my jobs, and I can’t express how much a good narrator - a HUMAN narrator - makes a story emotional and amazing. Kristin Atheron, Travis Baldree, Shane East and Major Curda all blew my mind this week.
Hire. Humans.
AI narration is utterly TERRIBLE at picking up emotional nuance, pacing, and emphasis. And don't get me started on AI trying to read sarcasm.
This is why Fablesmithy offers living*, breathing human narrators for indie authors at affordable rates.

Proofreading doesn't even have to be expensive, either. *cough*

How to fix your “I don’t have time to read” problem
1. Cut 20 minutes of scrolling
2. Replace it with reading
3. Don’t negotiate with yourself
You have time. You have a habit problem.
Deleting a post is forever, but so are screenshots. This week, The Forge Letter tiptoes through the minefield of what an author's Evil Twin is posting about on their social media accounts.
