(Apologies to Harlan Ellison) An up-and-coming writer lost her book contract after she created fake Goodreads accounts and review-bombed other authors. Another author posted on Twitter/X that writing is “an old man’s game” and proceeded to ridicule younger authors who write neurotic characters like themselves because they lack life experience. Then there’s the indie authorContinue reading “I Have No Fans and I Must Scream”
