I know we have threads each time an author here releases a new book or story, but I was thinking we could use this thread to promote all our works, so newer people here could find older works and give some of those stories some love.
Here's my collection of dev-related stories on Amazon, but feel free to link your complete collections if you have them ready to go

I highly encourage them to make a separate post for their new releases, but if they want to bump up their past releases, this would be a good thread, perhaps. |

I like this idea. Maybe instead I can create a sticky thread at the top of this folder, and each author can create just one post with links to their work. Then the author can come back whenever they want and update their post to add more titles. I think that would keep it easier to read. Also I recommend creating a hyperlink on the title rather than pasting in the URL. Who wants to look at a string of code? It's also a good idea to include a very VERY brief description, just a few words, to let us know the genre and the disability. I don't get why authors posting here don't share what the disability is. That's like the #1 thing readers here want to know.
ETA: the sticky thread will not be the only place you can promote your book. Please feel free to continue creating new threads in this folder to announce new publications or posts on the stories blog.

Good idea, and yeah I definitely still want to see authors announce their new works, but some authors have several, perhaps dozens of stories and it'd be a great resource for those who want to see full collections. |

I am not very tech savvy at all, I barely know how to post a link to my books. I may need some one on one for whatever you guys are creating...it all sounds great

To make a link, you have to click "reply" (not quick reply) to see the full menu of options. First type the text (the title of your book) then highlight it and click on the icon of the globe, if you hover over it you'll see "link" alt text. A box will pop up that says "create link" where you can paste in the URL.
You can also add the cover by using the insert image button (the icon of a picture frame). It's better if you link to the image rather than uploading at attachment. Go to your book page on Amazon, and right click on the cover. Select "view image" and you'll see a webpage of just the cover. You can link to that page.

Thank you, Sophie! I know there are some amazing authors here. I think also, for members who don't visit here anymore, like Ruth Madison, a link should be tossed in for her books.
