Writers retreats are mostly inaccessible to disabled writers so I made my own writers retreat with a travel agent https://robertkingett.com/2023/11/06/writertravelagents/ @disability

Louise Kenward has compiled a book of essays on nature, Moving Mountains, by 24 #writers who are living with #ChronicIllness or #Disability and it’s published today! | “Moving Mountains is not about overcoming or conquering, but about living with and connecting, shifting the reader's attention to the things easily overlooked by those who move through the world untroubled by the body that carries them.”
Here she explains how the project came about

Hey there!

Figured I'd create a handy little video about some places to find indie novels for free.

If you know of any other places to support indie authors for free, please drop them in the comments!

#indieauthor #indiebooks #indiefantasy #selfpublished #webnovelist #writing #novel #writers #book #books #bookstodon #webnovel #fantasy #mystery #thriller #scifi #paranormal #historicalfiction #romance #YA #comedy #poetry #fiction #nonfiction #isekai #adult #xianxia #progressionfantasy #cultivation @bookstodon

The video begins on a graphic created using a picture of a black book on a red tablecloth. The picture has been edited to replace the cover of the book. The edited cover is an illustration of a landscape that is dark, a sprawling castle with a kingdom surrounding it, misty clouds twisting between structures. In the sky framing the tallest center spire is a vast circular halo made of glowing flame and light. The captions in these frames of the video read: "Places to find indie books for free!" The next frames include a real life video of mountains with a dark cloudy sky in the background, large pines and other trees in the foothills and midground, and a field of wheat with a rusted farm-grade rolling sprinkler in it on the foreground. The captions in this portion of the video read: "Webnovel! You can find novels, webcomics, and fanfic on this website. Isekai, LitRPG, Fantasy, SciFi, Comedy, Slice of Life, Fanfic, and Romance are just a few popular genres! Royal Road! This website is a great place to find novels and book series with asian and/or anime influences. Isekai, Xianxia, LitRPG, Progression Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, SciFi, and Comedy are just a few popular genres! Scribblehub! This website is also good for finding novels and book series with asian and/or anime influences. Isekai, Xianxia, LitRPG, Fantasy, SciFi, Comedy, Supernatural, Fanfic, and Adult are just a few popular genres!"

Story structure isn't as much fun when it's makes it obvious what will happen... 😂

Seeing that other people have read something and also what they think about it will entice prospective readers. Interact with them and their social media posts! Share and comment on their posts, participate in Q&As, make fanart/fiction and post it with a tag, recommend them to other readers, and more! Indie authors rely heavily on their community, so the more you get the word out, the better!"
