I thought we'd said this enough, but apparently not given the state of our inbox of late: If you used generative AI in your final project, be that your campaign/cover/assets/etc, do not reach out to us for support or cross-promotion or even just feedback. We will not respond politely. Sincerely, Bryce . . .

Happy Book Birthday to A PALACE NEAR THE WIND by @AiJiang_! ✨ This brutal and beautiful science-fantasy novella is the first in a new duology. A story of family, loss, oppression and rebellion that will stay with you long after the final page... tinyurl.com/3p6tv5uy
