Another thing about publishing with Smashwords: right before you put your book up, you have the option to add descriptive tags to make it easier for people to find your stuff. Once you start typing,the site offerssuggestions that match tags other people have used.
Many of these lists are really long. Part of the reason is because people—yes, even authors—don’t know how to spell.
Earlier this week, when I put my novel Jury’s Greatest Hits up there, I wanted to add “historical...

"I’m sick of how bisexuality is erased in LGBT spaces. I get really nervous before any LGBT event, especially Pride.

10 intriguing female revolutionaries that you didn’t learn about in history class
August 24, 2014
We all know male revolutionaries like Che Guevara, but history often tends to gloss over the contributions of female revolutionaries that have sacrificed their time, efforts, and lives to work towards burgeoning systems and ideologies. Despite misconceptions, there are tons of women that have participated in revolutions throughout history, with many of them playing crucia...

I did not ever see a bisexual character in a book when I was a teen. Ever. I didn’t know a single bisexual or lesbian or gay or transgender or queer person as a teen. At all. That’s at best just sad, and at worst soul-crushingly lonely. I was convinced that I was broken or defective or strange for years. I was a voracious reader and I firmly believe that if I had encountered bisexual characters in teen literature when I was a teen it would have made my coming out easier.

The Importance of Proper Categories
When I first put my book Jury’s Greatest Hits for sale on Smashwords, I wasn’t sure if I should list it as gay & lesbian fiction since only half the cast is LGBT, so I put the primary category as “humor” and the secondary category as “historical fiction.”
Today, I decided that having 50% LGBT protagonists (plus very minor gay side character and a subplot in a straight character’s arc about how his young son might be gay) was enough to warrant switc...

a friendly reminder that not only was the REAL CRIMINAL the man who choked and killed an unarmed black civilian by the name of Eric Garner, was not indicted but the man who filmed it however, Ramsey Orta, was. why? because a police officer “claims” to have seen him pass a weapon to his friend days after the choking incident.
NO PROOF. NO WEAPON. STILL INDICTED
