So I've been #querying and, for "reasons," this photo perfectly encapsulates my mood.

#Writers and #Authors, I love how my #writing, #querying and #IndieAuthor discord is shaping up. We have plenty of SFF, #LGBTQIA+, #neurodiverse and quite a few #ChronicallyIll and #disabled writers and authors.

But I'd love to see more writers from my neck of the woods, and #BIPOC writers from anywhere in the world (I'm also hoping to find a BIPOC co-admin).

So let me know if you'd like an invite, especially if you're an Aussie/ Kiwi/ Islander, Asian (or based in Asia) or BIPOC writer!

If anyone's interested in a #Writers & #Authors Discord...

Mine is one big community when it comes to #writing, #querying and being an #IndieAuthor.
Within that, we've got channels to help the following writers/ people connect;
