SIMPLE GUIDE:

Body Horror: Things that cannot happen in real life. EX: The Thing, stomach mouths, eyes on hands, etc

Gore: Fresh injuries, often severe. EX: Severed leg, gutspill, deep gashes, etc

NEITHER: Healed injuries and burns, congenital differences, missing appendages, etc. If I could theoretically go to the store and see that character browsing the isles- It isn't body horror or gore. That's just a person. *AND the amount of people that tag, not just fictional characters, but real human beings as body horror is staggering. Its not solely a fandom issue, ableism and bigotry against anyone that looks sufficiently "different" is prevalent in real life and has devastating consequences.

#what's that post. that's not body horror that's just an injury.#yeah

Hey do you self-publish, or do you go with a publisher? I'm currently tryna shop my first novel around to publishers and if you've got any suggestions or advice I'd be super super thankful!

I primarily self-publish, although A Coup of Owls has published one of my novellas, and I've been in a few anthologies!

A Coup of Owls are great, of course - I would definitely recommend also maybe searching for queer publishers on Bluesky, especially an appropriate List of those taking novel submissions.

It's so cool that you can self publish and be carried by Libby (my little library basically a world away has a whole two pages of your work). Do they like make an offer or something?

When you self-publish via Draft2Digital, your books can be stocked through Smashwords, Apple Books, Kobo, Amazon (although I publish to KDP directly), Barnes & Noble, etc. My paperbacks are also stocked in Waterstone's because they're published through Ingram via D2D.

After you decide the shops you distribute to, you then have a choice of library apps to distribute to - Hoopla, BorrowBox, Vivlio, CloudLibrary, etc.

Unfortunately, all of them except Hoopla, I think, autoreject erotica, but everything else I publish I make sure to make available in library apps if I can!

I am also more than happy to make eBooks available (in ePub, Mobi, and/or PDF) available to smaller-run trans and queer libraries, like for book clubs, social clubs, etc! They just need to get in touch by email, and I'm always happy to donate books to good causes like that.
