i think we need to bring back calling people internet famous instead of calling them influencers like there needs to be something borderline derogatory injected back into it

Stories come from the heart, not a computer

At Turn the Page Publishing, we have a strict "No AI" policy. We don't want you to use it to write, and we won't sell your work to any AI ventures (it's even included in our contract).

Your books need to come from YOU. We want real human experience and emotion, not something generated by a machine that relies on plagiarism to cough up its results.

We're here to help you with brainstorming, editing, formatting, polishing, the works—because AI has no place in creative spaces, and we won't give it a platform.

kinda feels like 'writing' and 'complaining about writing' are actually two totally separate hobbies, and the more time you spend doing one, the less likely you are to do the other

possibly today is the ~only~ good day for a walk for the foreseeable future (i.e., finally not raining and/or the corn sweat temps of next week) but my book 3 playlist is decidedly Not poppin’ bc i kept changing my mind and haven’t quite nailed down the dynamics enough so now the music i picked no longer really jives with the story so even if i do go for a walk, like. what am i even going to do the whole time.

it’s an overworked underpaid stressed out burned out but you literally cannot stop if you want to survive and occasionally enjoy it summer ✌︎

Write at your own pace!

At Turn the Page Publishing, we don't care how long it takes you to write your story—only that you write it.

Will there be deadlines for the finished product? Sure, but we'll meet you where you're at. Whether you have a new book ready every couple of months or once a year, we're here for it!

We don't want you to work *for* us—we want to work WITH you to get your books out there, no matter how many or often. The most important thing is that it's the story you want to tell.

Watch Tracy Chapman Start a Quiet Revolution

You guys may be too young to remember, but I remember tuning in on TV with 600 million other viewers to watch Stevie Wonder live at Wembley Stadium for Nelson Mandela's 70th birthday celebration tribute in 1988. There were technical difficulties and Stevie Wonder couldn't go on yet. The crowd was antsy, milling around, singing their own songs. The TV cameras were rolling and the show had to go on, so TOTALLY UNKNOWN ARTIST TRACY CHAPMAN GOT UP ON STAGE AND PLAYED FAST CAR ARMED WITH ONLY HER GUITAR.

The crowd fell silent. Captivated by the absolute raw honesty and talent on display. Did we know we were witnessing history? A black queer artist who would rocket to fame and win a Grammy for this song the following year? I don't remember.

What I do remember is getting to the end of the song and not caring about Stevie Wonder any more. I wanted to know who this woman was!

Watch Tracy Chapman stun a rowdy crowd into silence:
