I just finished an indie book and I want nothing more than to scream about it with the author but I don't know them like that so I feel like it would be inappropriate but oh my god I have so many QUESTIONS and COMMENTS!!
Alright, I'm going to mute this soon, but you have all encouraged me 😅 thank you. Also as a little intro for new folks, I LOVE indie books (adult/dark fantasy & horror are my faves!) and I often draw fanart for my favorites 💖 I'm also a writer but my book is not finished!
@elven_scribe I think the questions and comments and the fact that you’re so enthusiastic about it would make it special. As long as there’s no berating and mean intent behind it, post the book cover, shout it out, and tag the author. They may be open to it.
@elven_scribe Someone I don't know well started screaming into my DMs about mine and it made my week tbh. DO IT
@elven_scribe Honestly dude, give it a go lol 🤷♂️ If someone I didn't know felt that way about my books, I'd be over the moon if they expressed it to me. The worst that'll happen is that they may just say a blunt "Thanks" and leave it there. But I'd bet most authors would love to hear that.
@elven_scribe As an indie author, scream this to the rooftops. Message that author. Tweet at them.
@elven_scribe I would absolutely LOVE this if a reader reached out like this. I so much want to reach out to readers and gush, but know it's not good protocol so I hope for things like this. I say do it
