This events allows authors to pitch directly to small, indie publishers. I caught my publisher’s eye during the first-ever #SmallPitch in July 2024. #writingcommunity #indieauthor #authorsky #indiebooks

For pitching authors, a quick update about what's new: 1) You will NOT receive a copy of your pitch submission via email. Last time, the feature wasn't reliable despite being enabled, and some people never received an email, leading to stress (understandably).

SAVE THE DATE! #SmallPitch comes back for another indie/small press-focused pitch event on January 19-25, 2026 🌊 This time, it will be open to all underrepresented authors from the #WritingCommunity, agented and unagented alike. Check our website for more details ⬇️

Reminder that Scylla will be in #smallpitch looking for Sapphic speculative fiction with strong, diverse characters, an "un-put-downable" narrative drive, and compelling conflict! @smallpitch.org

"Not a real book" bonus: HOLLOW WHISPERS OF THE WIND by @florencechien.com (historical fiction), her next novel currently on submission. I had the honor to be the first person to beta read it and it is SO GOOD. I don't understand why editors aren't fighting to death for it in a ring or something.

THE REVENANT OF SUROLIFIA by @florencechien.com (political fantasy): another favorite I knew I would love before reading it, but I didn't expect to love Lucas (the protagonist) so much.

My absolute honor to be on this list alongside some very amazing books! 💙📚

The Revenant of Surolifia is nominated for BroMantasy's Community Award! I'd be honored to have your vote for "Most Anticipated 2026 Release" and "Best Emotionally Impactful Characters"! Every vote count because we're up against much better names! #WritingCommunity 📚💙 bromantasy.com/community-bo...
