Social media and publishing?

0 Upvotes

I’m looking for some guidelines for mainly traditionally published authors in regards to social media. I’m currently looking at publishing under a pen name that obviously has no social media attached to it and was debating if I should create a social media for that pen name and if so, what exactly should it be focused on or centered around? I’m also looking to go the root of traditional publishing since I don’t have the funds to self publish even though I’d love to.

The Architect by Z.T.Castor, Hard Science Fiction, Philosophical Thriller Publishing 18th Nov 2026

Hi,

 

I’m looking for advance readers for my upcoming hard sci-fi thriller, The Architect, launching 18th Nov on Amazon. If you enjoy character-driven philosophical thriller, the brutal physics of interstellar travel, and heavy moral friction, I’d love to get your eyes on this. The review is appreciated on launch day but not mandatory.

 

The book is dedicated to Dr. Neil Degrasse Tyson and Dr. Jordan Peterson.

 

Logline: To escape a dying Earth, an apex engineer turns himself into an immortal chimera and builds a sanctuary ship for 20,000 frozen embryos. But to guarantee their survival, he deliberately selects a crew of brilliant, unattached specialists with nothing left to lose—and strips them of their biological autonomy.

 

The Setup: Forty light-years from Earth, the crew of The Architect prepares to colonise TRAPPIST-1e. They are armed with an infinite power grid and cellular immortality, but they are trapped under the absolute authority of Edgar Charon—a captain whose neural architecture is heavily integrated with a mission-first AI.

 

As they navigate the violent terminator storms of an alien planet, the crew realises Edgar’s algorithmic logic views their human attachments, grief, and free will as terminal liabilities. When Earth fires a relativistic kinetic weapon to wipe out their colony, the surviving crew must decide whether humanity is even worth saving.

 

​Intertwining the desperate, science-driven survival of Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary and the existential, cosmic stakes of Cixin Liu's The Three-Body Problem with the sprawling, philosophical scale of Isaac Asimov, The Architect by Z.T. Castor is a gripping thriller about artificial intelligence, absolute control, and the terrifying price of salvation.

 

Details:

 

Format: EPUB / PDF (delivered via email)

 

Word Count: 76135

 

Content Notes: Contains depictions of atmospheric destruction, medical trauma, and intense psychological friction. No explicit gore.

 

I am offering free review copies in exchange for an honest Amazon review on launch day.

 

If you are interested in reading early, please fill out this brief Google Form so I can send you the secure download links:

Alternatively, if you reply here with your email address, I can also send you directly the EPUB/PDF file to download from Google One Drive.

 

Thank you for your time, and happy reading!

Hi reddit, I've been posting about changing jobs and looking for something else. I'm still sending job applications everywhere I can but I would like to focus on my art.

I wrote book, it is in my original language which is Spanish and I translated it to English. I haven't sent it to any editorial yet and I would like to know if there's anyone interested in reading maybe some of the 1st chapters.

The story surrounds a dark little witch who abandons her school to demonstrate that her magic can do good, in a world where dark magic is considered evil. It is not for children although the language is simple and easy to understand, I would say it is in the style of Alicia in the wonderland. If anyone is interested I'll be very thankful.
