We've recently set up a service called the Indie Ad Network, or IAN for short. The idea is that authors can display ads for each other's books, with no popups, cookies, tracking, data harvesting, or all the other things that make most online ads awful.

Just a picture of the book and a link to where to buy it.

And it's all free.

You can see an example of an advert at the bottom of the sidebar on Robin's author website (russellphillips.uk).

Any self-published or small press author can submit a book ad and we'll run it for six months. If you're also showing our ads, your ad will run indefinitely.

You can add a book to be advertised (one per author name, for now) here: ian.authorhelp.uk/info/submit/

If you have a website and you'd like to display adverts for other author's books, go here: ian.authorhelp.uk/info/install…

The service is currently in a limited beta. Authors of the Fediverse are welcome to join, but we'll close the forms if it gets too busy.

Hive mind, I'm in #Research mode and looking for reports, papers, or articles from knowledgeable, trustworthy sources about very long term forecasts (300-400 years) of the possible effects of climate change, particularly of warming oceans. Does anyone know of any such material? Thanks.

Your characters become well-known. This doesn't help their situation.
