Indie authors must be political
📚 Indie authors: people will complain about you and call you too political, and beg you to stick to writing fiction. But if we don’t speak up and push back, our stories will be banned from libraries, book stores, and online. It’s already happening.
Literally if I don’t get political there’s a real chance I won’t be able to write stories anymore because it’ll be illegal for me to do so.
So I say: write like hell and yell like hell. Because our stories deserve to be read.
