ARPRESS<p>“Cousins’ Rivalry” by Ted J. Brooks was displayed at the London Book Fair (LBF) at Olympia London from March 11-13, 2025</p><p>The book revolves around Greg Sutton and Robert Hawkins, cousins who find themselves at odds.

Vivienne Dunstan<p>Heard from a favourite author today that Unbound or their new incarnation Boundless *not* be refunding backers of his outstanding unpublished books. I have £48.50 worth of unpublished books still owed from them - books by other authors, but probably the same applies. I guess that's vanished then. Furious doesn't even come close. <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Unbound" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Unbound</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Publishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Publishing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Boundless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Boundless</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Crowdfunding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Crowdfunding</span></a></p>

JanetteSpeyer<p>I encourage you to take advantage of your Fediverse channels.</p><p>Include relevant hashtags in captions when you post content on the social web (fediverse)—either through your Flipboard social account or in your federated Flipboard magazines.</p><p>Why?<br>Hashtags help your content be discoverable by users who follow or search for those topics. Using the right hashtags increases engagement and visibility.</p><p>How to Choose the Right Hashtag?<br>• Search for your topic on Flipboard, Mastodon, Bluesky, or other Fediverse instances.<br>• Check the popularity of a hashtag (e.g., on Mastodon, <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Food</span></a> has 1.3K mentions, while <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Sports" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sports</span></a> has 1K).<br>• Use a mix of general and specific hashtags to reach a broader audience. <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Flipboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Flipboard</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/SocialWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SocialWeb</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Blogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blogging</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/ContentCuration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ContentCuration</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Publishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Publishing</span></a></p>
