FOR WRITERS Today’s writer topic comes from QSFer Ryane Chatman: From my nephew (10 years old), Authors, do you mind when people send you fan art? (For context, he sees a lot of the book covers when I do reviews, and often reads them when I post them. He sometimes likes to re-imagine the covers, or I will read him the description of the main characters and he will draw something based on that.) Join the chat
