    Words, Phrases, and Clichés That Need To Die in Fiction Books
    Feb 13 2026

    Welcome to the first public episode of Shelf Respect. We've been doing this for six months over on Patreon and now it's time to have the best of both worlds. We'll have new free episodes twice monthly.

    This is a Snake Draft episode where the three of us slither through all the words and phrases we'd like to remove from all future books.

    All our book lists are always found on Bookshop.org. Support indie shops!

    The NOs of Fiction
    Feb 13 2026
    This is a an example of our premium content you can find on our Shelf Respect Patreon. *originaly published in October, 2025 We asked our Hardbacks to air their grievances about fiction and they answered. LOUDLY AND WITH FEELING. They shared the details, big and small, they despise in a novel. In this episode, we feature some of their complaints, as well as share a few of our own. And there's a kerfuffle about short stories. Mentions: A Lady Awakened by Cecilia Grant Alchemised by Senlinyu Katabasis by R. F.
