Addison Smith (Addi)

please congratulate me I put water in my body

My most recent new-new release is Corners of the Deep Dark, a space opera about getting in over your head. Cover by @addi.social (hire him! He's good!) Available all over. crypticplumage.com www.amazon.com/dp/B0HG8SS4MC/ bookshop.org/p/books/corn... www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/...

I’ve been looking at adhd tattoos and so many people get a face with chaotic squiggles for the mind. I get that, but that feels like focusing on the negative, and I want to celebrate the creative leaps and varied interests. Or maybe I’ll just get a squirrel.

Apex Magazine @apexmag.bsky.social is doing their annual Kickstarter and I urge everyone to back one of the genre's most constantly amazing magazines! BONUS: If you share this post you're in the running to receive a signed book from me. Details in thread. 1/ www.kickstarter.com/projects/ape...

This would be a great time if anyone wants to reach out. Just found out my hours are being cut back for the rest of the year. I can work within your budget. Reposts appreciated.

My wife and I started a Halloween short film tradition. No budget, shot on phones, DIY as fuck. I wrote the script and managed to recruit a couple friends to join our small cast. This is our metaphorical wicker man, our sacrifice to Autumn. Go out and make something. Enjoy: youtu.be/9Fe2GPe7xyk

My 3rd book will be coming out in February! It's a queer scifi horror for fans of THE LUMINOUS DEAD and S. A. Barnes. Check out THESE RAVENOUS STARS today! linktr.ee/alexis.ames. Cover design by the wonderful Addison Smith: addi.studio.

Great new cover art by @addi.social! Great work Addi, you are amazing! #sciencefiction, #anthology, #podcast, #coverart

I'm looking to make art! Anyone need a pretty cover for one of your upcoming books/Anthologies/chapbooks/etc? I love working with indie authors and also with presses. Here are a few Science Fiction examples I've worked up recently. Either DM me here or contact me through addi.studio And please RT!

I love Asimov's Science Fiction and the magazine's editors. I've published many stories in the magazine. I subscribe to the magazine. Despite that, I'm done with the new MRM owners. This statement is BS. The new owners have squandered the goodwill of their magazines' readers, writers, and fans. 1/

The situation with Must Read Media is both ludicrously complicated and very simple. They come from a world where everyone is shitty and backstabbing as a matter of course. To them, business is about fucking people over. And our entire community is saying no and showing them the door.

This is the way the publishing industry has always worked. I'm not aware of anyone, anywhere having sued over it. It's a pretty normal way of doing business for us, and I just don't see what problem MRM is purporting to fix with this, beyond simply justifying an overly rights-grabby contract.

enthusiasm is hot actually

I’m at the Pizza Hut. I’m at the house of leaves. I’m at the combi s n e a v t a i e o l n fo esuoh & tuh azzip

You are allowed to be excited about things other people don't understand. The book. The fandom. The hobby. The seasonal decoration that absolutely did not need to come home with you. Enthusiasm is not embarrassing. Being delighted by something is actually pretty great. 🧡

If anyone's looking for inspiration for what to write, I have some cool new premade covers in my gallery. Use one as inspiration and get it customized. <3 addi.studio/premades/

The Five Flash Omnibus is out today! 30 fantasy, scifi, and horror flash fiction stories from @addi.social, @kaidelmas.bsky.social, and me!!!

I decided to undertake a delusional project to write a piece of weird media criticism every day for the month of October! Disregarding that I'm already a day behind, I hope you'll follow along with me as I explore some great works of weird media across various formats!

Don’t use AI for your cover, hire an artist! Lots of cool premade options from @addi.social!

State of Decay (Out 3/2) -- Snag it for .99! From post apocalyptic and dystopian futures to ordinary people facing extraordinary threats, each story offers a glimpse into worlds where survival comes at a cost and humanity is tested in unexpected ways. Check out the cool cover art by @addi.social!

You ever think, what I want isn't to be a successful author. That would be cool, but no. What I want is a UBI that lets me write full-time. I'd be unstoppable.

I’m going to work on some more premade book covers this weekend! Anyone have a theme they want me to tackle? 👀

I added some Premade Book Covers to my website! :D $75 for ebook +$50 to add print. Contact form on my website! addi.studio/premades/

A coworker read one of my stories and wanted to talk to me about what it meant and like, dude, I don’t know it was just a vibe. I basically said “ftge story isn’t complete until the reader interprets it” and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Reminder: we turn off the submission queue at the end of the day tomorrow (00:00 UTC; 8:00 PM EDT). Last chance to send us your poetry, short stories, or non-fiction pitches. And remember folks:

Hey guys! Long time no see! Or at least it feels that way since I’ve devoted all my time to eating delicious fish (#ad #sponsored). You should also eat fish! They are weird and scaly and taste like magic! Anyway, on with the obituary! #EatFish

Looking for some book cover design jobs to keep me busy. Details at Addi.studio

You guys missed out on some cool art. I made a piece last night and posted it to a discord for funsies to share. Someone snapped it up for their book cover lol.

Monday timeline cleanse.

This is the number I came to recently for myself. If I didn’t have a car I would be very comfortable financially. Maybe someday I can make that a reality.

By the way, I do book covers and such if anyone is interested. I also do story art for @foofarawpress.bsky.social and am always looking for more projects to work on. Reach out through addi.studio

I think I accidentally made Princess Mononoke fanart. Been playing with textures tonight.

Hey, folks! I'm extending the Cursed Morsels: A Food Systems Horror Anthology call, so you now have until September 28th to submit a story. I was worried I wouldn't have enough stories to fill the book, so it seemed like the right move. Details here: cursedmorsels.com/submission-c...

It looks like @cursedmorsels.bsky.social has updated their guidelines for the Food Systems anthology. it now has a deadline of Sept. 28! If you've been thinking about writing something, you still have time! cursedmorsels.com/submission-c...
