We've gotten a few queries about *just how much* the price difference is between buying directly from us, and buying from other online retailers.

The difference is ✨many✨

Here's a handy pie chart comparison with spending comparison...

Site update! You can now review our books directly on the SkyNation Publishing site - each review helps us out a lot (and our authors get very giggly when they see Good Things about their books).

Tell us what you thought! https://t.co/8txHJo2Mms

Having worked with the SkyNation Publishing team, I can enthusiastically recommend them.

They were very supportive, and a joy to work with, on the Tales of Ale and Chainmail anthology.

[SkyNation Publishing @SkyNationPub]

Submissions have officially opened.

Are you our next author?

We're looking for fantasy/historical/general/science fiction between 80,000-120,000 words, intended for an audience of 17+.

Since this Wednesday marks the first day of winter, it's fitting to review a title like "Once Upon a Winter: A Folk and Fairy Tale Anthology" edited by @HLMacfarlane. Is it worth the read? Click on this link to find out https://t.co/C3JzdSPghD

[Kate Longstone @KateLongstone]

I fully support this stance.

Hopefully more publishers will do this, if they're not already doing so.

[SkyNation Publishing @SkyNationPub]

All of our covers and artwork have been, and always will be, non A.I.

We take pride in working with the incredible artists in this community.

[ReneeSky @ReneeOnTwitch]

Imagine this statement, but it's:

"During production, it was brought to our attention that one of the images we have licensed was generated by A.I. To address this, we will be pushing back the release date while we adjust the cover to ensure we support artists in the industry."

[SkyNation Publishing @SkyNationPub]

Episodes 1 - 11 of #HerCrownOfFire are now available on YouTube.

Thank you to all of our listeners! You've made this year truly amazing, and we appreciate every single one of you.

@katieemorann Absolutely.

To the point, that if the visualisation doesn't feel right, or can't be done (too tired/stressed etc.), I struggle to write anything at all.
