It can be hard to keep on top of all the blogs and news sources that aim to help writers.

Here are some posts from the Alliance of Independent Authors that authors might find valuable — but also might've missed earlier.

  • The creative process through an editor's eyes: Matty Dalrymple and Brenna Bailey-Davies discuss what both editors and authors can learn from the editing process.

  • AI pushbacks continue: Dan Holloway reports that YouTube is now also suing Snap for taking its material to train AI, and that San Diego Comic-Con is joining the SFWA in outright banning AI.

  • How partnerships work in competitions: ALLi's book award adviser covers all the must-know details of entering literary awards when you're part of a writing team.

  • The Selfies Book Awards go global: Submissions are now being accepted for the Selfies Book Awards — and they can be from indie authors anywhere, versus just in the UK.
