Morning, CoSo! 💫
Another week, another #BetterWorldsTheory #newsletter.
This one talks about 3 news items in the world of writing: a Bookseller survey about stressed out debut authors, the sale of the first AI-inspired novel to a major, and the upcoming WGA strike.
Around these items, I reflect again on the distorted expectations of our industry that cause so much pain in the first place.
(Also, a new BookTube is up, on histories of spec lit! 🎉)

And the #BookTube link, for those who want to jump straight into something lighter. You can almost hear me kicking myself for blanking on Lucian of Samosata's name mid-recording, but now you know who I meant. 😅 My review of other SF inspired by classic lit is still pending - probably this weekend. 🤞
