First off, Audible is screwing over authors again. The short version? They’re taking money from authors to subsidize a new audiobook streaming model, making things worse for everyone. For an in-depth explanation, the BookTuber Daniel Greene did an excellent video primer on the topic, including an in-depth conversation with Robin Sullivan, who’s helping lead the charge against the exploitative new royalty system.
If you’d like to support the fight against Audible’s awful new scheme, you can do so by spreading the word, and by signing Robin Sullivan’s petition!
Second, and less important but much cooler: I got my hands on the prototypes for the pins for the Mage Errant Kickstarter! Check them out, they look amazing!
If you missed the Mage Errant Illustrated Omnibus Kickstarter, it’s not too late to pre-order it. Pre-orders are still open on Backerkit!
