I didn't realize publishing was in so much trouble. Massive layoffs at Macmillan, Thomas Dunne imprint shuttered for good, and more publishing bad news incoming.

Reader friends: If you value your books and your writers, support publishing now.

A thread:

Please buy books and download them legally.

Order from Indie bookstores instead of Amazon

Support writers' Patreons and Ko-fis.

Spread word about your favorite authors.

Review their work on Goodreads and Amazon.

Pay artists and writers directly if such an option exists.

As COVID-19 has shown, art is what keeps you alive and functioning in quarantine.

Let's make sure the makers of said art survive this nightmare.
