**Edit: As this is getting huge, we now have our own Discord server. If you're an author and you want to get involved in this project, please join us here: https://discord.gg/Qzkf66p8 **😃

Hi folks,

I hope this is the right kind of thing to post here.

Thanks for checking this out. I'm an indie author who writes dark fantasy (or "fiendish fantasy" as I now affectionately call it!) and I'd like to set up a little Ko-Fi network of fellow authors where we can promote each other on our Ko-Fi pages (and social media if you're up for it).

  1. The idea: all members of the Author Avengers (name to be decided! lol!) to post one thing on their Ko-Fi page per month promoting the work of another member. These will be decided beforehand. If there's a lot of us, we could set up a little Discord to get organised. This will kinda work like a newsletter swap, but on Ko-Fi. Each month, you'll promote someone different. This will mean that you'll introduce your fans/supporters to some great new authors, and you'll be introduced to the fans/supporters of other authors.

  2. You can find me at https://ko-fi.com/louyardley

  3. All Author Avengers would need to agree to posting at least one Ko-Fi post per month (links to these would need to be shared on our Discord... or whatever we decide to use). They'd also need to be ready with something fellow Author Avengers could link to/talk about/get excited about (this could be a book, cover reveal, blog post, etc).

  4. I'm hoping this will grow to be a big ongoing project that we can all benefit from. No matter the size of the group, we will ensure that all members are promoted somewhere.

  5. It's not paid, but it could lead to follows, tips, sales, and memberships from mutuals! Who knows???

Reply to this message if you'd like to get involved or if you would like more info.

Thank you!

I really like this idea, especially with wanting to be a bit more active on Ko-fi again but struggling with ideas as of late, and the interaction with other authors would really help! Here's also my Ko-fi page link as well here: https://ko-fi.com/deborahkelty

Fantastic, thank you all! I think we have enough to get started (although, if anyone else wants to join, I won't turn you away!). I'll put together a list by tomorrow with details on who you'll be promoting in February. Please feel free to chat to whoever I buddy with and let them know if there's anything specific you'd like them to talk about in their post. Have a great Sunday everyone!

(Sorry for the late reply. Had some issues with the discord app, but reinstalling it seems to have done the trick!)

No worries. Awesome! Thanks😆

#

But yeah, work on my side is also crazy... There's maybe three weeks of hectic left before things can go back to normal... And you got college too? Maybe you're the crazy one😂 kidding of course

lavish harbor
#

😂 i do feel completely out of my depth from college cant lie lol

#

so many assignments and tests

#

but i’m on holiday break now so i should be able to get through some writing and finish the promotion blog post

tepid mural
#

A well-deserved breather I'm sure

#

let’s hope that i can get some rest, excited to get some writing done though

Are any of you on Twitter?

only technically, myself - I update when I have something new but I don't catch up with my feed at all any more. shifting my focus to mastodon, instagram, and tumblr 🙂

# tepid mural Are any of you on Twitter?

I'm on Twitter, but I don't use it as much as I used to. I feel like there's been a lot of changes since the new management took over and most of them are not for the better. I used to be on there everyday, but now when I do go on, I hardly see anything from the people I'm following. The algorithm feels broken to me.

To be honest I'm not even sure what I created my Discord channel for, other than Ko-fi suggesting it when I was setting up there

#

Hiya @lavish harbor, are you still okay to get your post done this month? I know you're super swamped with college, life, and EVERYTHING! Give me a shout if it feels impossible. I'm happy to write an extra post for @sinful plinth.

Do we think this group is big enough yet to warrant its own space? I really want to actually get to know and connect with other writers and it would be fun to have a place to share our work with each other~

I'd definitely support a breakaway discord server if we wanted to do that!

Hi folks,
We're just about to head into the final week of March, so I thought I'd catch up with those who haven't posted their posts yet. @torpid cypress, @sinful plinth and @lavish harbor, please let me know if you've posted yours already (and I've just missed it - totally possible!).
If you haven't got time to do it this month, please let me know so that someone else can promote your buddy. Thank you!

#

Also, @sinful plinth We have a dedicated Discord (invite above). It's super fun and we'd love to have you join us!
