Like a lot of industries, the publishing industry's purpose is to put more money in the pockets of those who already have to much... 😒 <a href="https://fedigroups.social/@galacticwriters" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@galacticwriters</a> @writers <a href="https://fedigroups.social/@bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bookstodon</a> <a href="https://fedigroups.social/@writingbooks" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@writingbooks</a> @keepwriting @aiop<a href="/tags/publishing/" rel="tag">#Publishing</a> <a href="/tags/writingmemes/" rel="tag">#WritingMemes</a> <a href="/tags/meme/" rel="tag">#Meme</a> <a href="/tags/memes/" rel="tag">#Memes</a> <a href="/tags/author/" rel="tag">#Author</a> <a href="/tags/authors/" rel="tag">#Authors</a> <a href="/tags/indieauthor/" rel="tag">#IndieAuthor</a> <a href="/tags/indiebooks/" rel="tag">#IndieBooks</a> <a href="/tags/amwriting/" rel="tag">#AmWriting</a> <a href="/tags/writerdons/" rel="tag">#Writerdons</a> <a href="/tags/writers/" rel="tag">#Writers</a> <a href="/tags/writer/" rel="tag">#Writer</a> <a href="/tags/writing/" rel="tag">#Writing</a> <a href="/tags/writingcommunity/" rel="tag">#WritingCommunity</a> <a href="/tags/writinglife/" rel="tag">#Writinglife</a> <a href="/tags/writersofmastodon/" rel="tag">#WritersOfMastodon</a> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#Bookstodon</a>

Meme of a drawing of one person standing on a plank over a cliff with a group of people standing on the plank preventing it from going over.

Man over the cliff called Le publishers: "You will write papers for us and pay
us to publish them. You will review those papers for free. You will also pay us to read those papers."

One of the people holding the plank up steps off saying: "Fuck This!"

Here's a little teaser from "Above and Below"—let me know what you think! <a href="/tags/indieauthor/" rel="tag">#indieauthor</a> <a href="/tags/fantasy/" rel="tag">#fantasy</a> <a href="/tags/aboveandbelow/" rel="tag">#aboveandbelow</a> EpigraphI met her in the year magic died. Today, nobody remembers her, or perhaps it’s just that the historians don’t have the full picture. Stories fade, faces blur, and even legends crumble under the weight of time and careless tongues. But I remember.

A nice older review of my fantasy story The Last Philosopher from a non-fantasy reader 😊 Free ebook in comments.<a href="https://fedigroups.social/@reading" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@reading</a> @books @fantasy @worldbuilding <a href="https://fedigroups.social/@bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bookstodon</a> <a href="/tags/wipwednesday/" rel="tag">#WIPWednesday</a> <a href="/tags/short/" rel="tag">#Short</a> <a href="/tags/excerpt/" rel="tag">#Excerpt</a> <a href="/tags/amwriting/" rel="tag">#AmWriting</a> <a href="/tags/indieauthor/" rel="tag">#IndieAuthor</a> <a href="/tags/ebook/" rel="tag">#eBook</a> <a href="/tags/ebooks/" rel="tag">#eBooks</a> <a href="/tags/specualtivefiction/" rel="tag">#SpecualtiveFiction</a> <a href="/tags/fantasybooks/" rel="tag">#FantasyBooks</a> <a href="/tags/fantasy/" rel="tag">#Fantasy</a> <a href="/tags/scifi/" rel="tag">#SciFi</a> <a href="/tags/worldbuilding/" rel="tag">#WorldBuilding</a> <a href="/tags/satire/" rel="tag">#Satire</a> <a href="/tags/humor/" rel="tag">#Humor</a> <a href="/tags/humour/" rel="tag">#Humour</a> <a href="/tags/comedy/" rel="tag">#Comedy</a> <a href="/tags/book/" rel="tag">#Book</a> <a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#Books</a> <a href="/tags/novel/" rel="tag">#Novel</a> <a href="/tags/novels/" rel="tag">#Novels</a> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#Bookstodon</a> <a href="/tags/bookwyrm/" rel="tag">#Bookwyrm</a> <a href="/tags/fantasybooks/" rel="tag">#FantasyBooks</a> <a href="/tags/reading/" rel="tag">#Reading</a> <a href="/tags/readers/" rel="tag">#Readers</a> <a href="/tags/readersofmastodon/" rel="tag">#ReadersOfMastodon</a> <a href="/tags/readingcommunity/" rel="tag">#ReadingCommunity</a> <a href="/tags/review/" rel="tag">#Review</a> <a href="/tags/bookreview/" rel="tag">#Bookreview</a> <a href="/tags/recommendation/" rel="tag">#Recommendation</a>

My overall impression of "The Last Philosopher" was not what I had expected it to be. As previously mentioned, Fantasy is not my go-to genre. So, going into this story, I was not entirely sure what to expect. Was this story going to be as painfully slow as what "The Hobbit" was? Or was this one of those rare times where I actually found myself enjoying a story of the Fantasy genre? I even enjoyed looking at the pictures that were added to each chapter.

"The Last Philosopher" is a story I would recommend to other readers on here to go read and share with their friends, relatives, frenemies, or anyone that could use a good read. Even if you are like me and have a specific genre you are drawn to, I would recommend you give "The Last Philosopher" a try. I found myself to be progressively more interested as the chapters continued. East really does do well with descriptions of chapters without there being much dialogue included.

(Left) The cover of The Most Powerful Words, by Owen Tyme, which consists of a temperate forest path in twilight, with a tree on the right side, which hangs over the path. At the base of the tree is a translucent, blue slime monster, with shiny, black eyes that give it a somewhat cute appearance, while the shadow that's visible at its base almost looks like a big mouth. The air has an almosty golden look, because there's a hint of fog in it. The cover is framed with beveled stone.

(Right) The background is a bookcase with three shelves that are filled with old-looking books. Some have bookmark ribbons that stick off the edge, adding a little color. The books are largely brown, with ribbed spines. The following quote is laid over it:

“There are words so powerful, they can shake the foundations of reality or alter the fate of the world.”

“The most powerful words of all can change a man’s heart and mind about old, incorrect beliefs.”
