500 Words is a newsletter and public diary celebrating indie publishing.
By writing about indie publishing in public, I'm working through (for myself and all of you) how we all can get our ideas out there, whether in book form, podcasting, essays, or video. For the next year or so, I'll be focusing on the global community building around climate fiction (the branch of science fiction devoted to writing about climate). I host and produce a podcast called The Future Lab that is dedicated to interviewing authors, publishers, and platform creators working in the science fiction, climate fiction, and fantasy genres.
As a side hustle, I also report on what is real and fake on the internet, and I share opinions about deepfakes, creativity and AI. From time to time, I offer serialized fiction designed for email.
It's free to receive every issue of 500 Words. If you want to support my work, please consider a monthly subscription for $5, or an annual subscription for $50.
With appreciation,
Lee Schneider
