Thank you to everyone who has signed the petition which now stands at 10,000+! If you haven't added your name, #DoTheWriteThing - change.org/p/protect-auth…

Meta’s scraping of pirated books to train its AI is an unprecedented attack on our copyright laws. Consent and compensation shouldn’t be optional, and with the average author in the UK making £7k a year, stand with authors and the SOA to protest this theft. #DoTheWriteThing #SOA

I couldn’t choose, so I bought them all! Shout out to the fabulous Sevenoaks Bookshop and to the new Station Books in Tunbridge Wells, which is an absolute must-visit if you’re into SFF. I may be #amreading for some time…
