This is the way to do it.

I have not one, not two, but THREE reminders of my hatred of gen AI on my policy/resources pages. Am I being too subtle here????? IF YOU USE GEN AI, I DO NOT SUPPORT YOU. I DO NOT LIKE YOU. I WILL NOT PROMOTE YOU. GO. AWAY. I do this for free and you are not entitled to my time!

Reminder: I will not promote, review, recommend or support anyone using generative AI in their books or art. This includes, but is not limited to: AI covers, AI writing, AI narrations, AI character imagery and/or AI promo pics. If you use it, I am not the person for you and please do not ask for an exception or email me to see if you’ll change my mind. This is a hard rule and not one that will change. I hate gen AI passionately and will not touch it with a ten foot pole. Thank you.

If you use generative AI in any part of your process, I am not the reviewer for you. I will not accept, read, review or promote books with AI generated covers, interiors or writing. If you use gen AI for your character art or promo, I will also not accept your book. Please do not ask for an exception. I will ignore your email. I only accept 100% human-made books with human-made covers. Thank you.GENERAL NOTICE: I have tried my utmost to ensure that none of the links listed on my page utilise, promote or in any way endorse generative AI slop. Gen AI has no place in the book and art communities. It’s theft, it’s pollution and it’s lazy. If you find that one of these pages suddenly promotes such nonsense, please let me know ASAP and I will remove the link. Trust that I will NEVER knowingly promote, endorse or share art/books made with generative AI. It goes against everything I believe in and everything that the creative arts stand for.

There’s a fine line between friendly clown and … no, yeah this is just creepy.

Would you like a sneak peek at Karly Jade Catto's art? 👀 Am I correct in saying that this is going to be the best thing ever?

Ahh! Booksellers and librarians, Broomsticklers is up on Edelweiss!! This is the first in a highly illustrated early MG series, and I hope you love it as much as I do :)

Keep writing. You didn’t create all these fictional people and ruin their lives just to abandon them halfway through.

Thank you! I’d forgotten that. I stopped subscribing to the Atlantic about the same time as the NYT.

@keithroysdon.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 6:47 PM

Ossoff is right on and Brooks is a good reason the NYT doesn’t get a dime from me.

The world’s in a state where Hallmark has a dumpster fire “everything’s fine” ornament, and this feels ominous.

Brilliant ad from Troy Jackson’s campaign. It sets politics aside and gives people resources and direction on heating their homes this winter, given the shortages caused by the war in Iran.
