Call for Freebies!
Every Friday Feels Newsletter includes a freebie. We have openings for October 21, October 28, and November 11.
Or let us know if your book is discounted.
With the new website, it’s much easier for us to promote free and sale books, and we can do so on your schedule rather than requiring certain dates. Find out more here.
The IHS BookFinder is by far the most popular new feature. Are your books in it?
As of writing this post, we have over 1300 books in the database. We’re cruising along adding the newer submissions, too, so if you’ve submitted a book in the past few weeks, it will be in the BookFinder soon. If you haven’t submitted your book(s) yet, we recommend doing that ASAP. Here’s the submission form.
All New Writerly Wednesdays!
In other author news, we’ve completely revamped Writerly Wednesdays as a valuable resource for the SapphFic community. In addition to IHS news, it will include weekly wisdom from seasoned writers and editors to help us all up our games. Jae, Em Stevens, & Adrian J. Smith have come on board to share what they’ve learned during their writing careers.

Ahoy!

Adrian J. Smith is a writer and editor who has a not-so-secret love of grammar.
Today’s grammar tip is about active phrasing. Check it out here.
Check back next Wednesday for more great advice and Sapphfic publishing news.
Happy writing!
