This year's FediBookFair will be 2nd/3rd November.
#Authors and #publishers are invited to post about their books, or related subjects like research, using the #FediBookFair hashtag. They can also run competitions, offer signed copies, etc.
#Readers can watch or follow the hashtag to find #books to read and authors to follow.
Hi, I'm an as-of-yet unpublished YA author and high school math teacher who just joined Mastodon. I'm looking out for suggestions of who to follow in the writing/teaching community!
The Indie Ink Awards are open all through November for nominating your favourite indie reads (if they’re not already on the site, you can add them, they just have to be self-published or from a small press)
The awards have lots of interesting sub categories and you can select up to five per book.
I know Masto readers bought my new release Fair Haven during the #Fedibookfair weekend. If that’s you and you’ll have a chance to read it during November, perhaps you’ll consider nominating it in one or more categories here:

What's worse than being ignored by your god?
Worse is having your god owe you a favor. Particularly when he's a trickster.
Anari has won his god's undivided attention. If he can survive it, he will have one chance to save them all. Fortunately, Anari has a few tricks up his own sleeve.
Time to talk about my latest release! #PompeiiFire is a #dualtimeline#HistoricalFiction#novella of which I am very proud. Researched in person just before the pandemic and released in August of this year, the book has already garnered three awards.
Do you like grumpy/sunshine stories and historical romances with unusual settings? Then check out my latest novel, The Gladiator's Passion, an m/m romance set in Roman antiquity.
What happens when a kindhearted military doctor meets a prickly gladiator? Sparks fly, passion ignites, and there's lots of kissing against doors! (LOTS!!!)
(Plus a very grumpy cat)
Thanks for letting us know about this one! I just bought it and look forward to reading it. I think I've read almost every #mmromance set in Roman times, so it's good to find a new one. I'm really enjoying the #FedibookFair !
Hello to everyone in the #FediBookFair! We at Chilliteracy have a whole archive of everything we have read on stream, freely available for your cosy audiobook needs! From Moonfleet to Monte Cristo, and a whole assortment of ghost stories and weird fiction in between.
Come and give us a follow!
#WordWeavers Do films or theatre play a role in your story?
Absolutely. In #PompeiiFire, Drusilla and Suetonius attend a production of Plautus' "Pseudolas." It gave me an opportunity to talk about social mores in ancient Roman society; men and women were not seated together at most entertainments.
Not exactly #books – they're #ShortStories – but here are some highlights from the @fictionable archive of exclusive short fiction: Ali Smith, Joyce Carol Oates, Diana Evans, Sarah Hall, Etgar Keret and Evie Wyld, not to mention #comics from Sabba Khan, Serena Katt, Lizzy Stewart and more…
We've created several free tools that are useful for #authors. Currently, we have four of them, but we will be adding more as time goes on. https://authorhelp.uk/tools/
If you sign up for my mailing list, you will get a #free#timeslip short story set in #NewOrleans delivered to you immediately! I promise never to sell your e-mail address or spam you. My newsletter goes out once a month.

If you're looking for a deeply philosophical novella about love, loss, and Daoism, check out The Joy of Fishes. Mara Daniels wanders around Chicago over one day and talks to the ghost of her fiancé, Benjamin Zhu.
Old Time Religion is a continuation of Sam and Ulysses's story. In March 1970, Ulysses is on the verge of handing in his dissertation when his ex-girlfriend Livia shows up and drops a mystery on his plate. Her husband was murdered by a magic cult, and since then she's been plagued by strange noises in the night and a magic book that may be cursed.
