• Keeping Up With The Publications

  With the number of books that come out each month, let alone each year, it is no wonder we are struggling to keep on top of the new titles and authors debuting. This is even harder for someone like me who reads a variety of genres. Is this a matter of publishing competition? Why was…

• To Go All In or Not Go All In as a Bookish Content Creator

  The more I spend time on bookish social media, the more I find myself stumped by this question. On some days, the answer is one way, but then a few weeks, or even days later, it will change. It shouldn’t, but it does. Why is that? I don’t think I am alone in this conundrum;…

  As the end of the year nears and we enter December, one thing I know will be the talk of bookish social media is the reading goals set at the beginning of 2024. At this stage though, it’s more likely the talk of binge reading to try and get the numbers up and prove that…

  Over the last few months, I have seen too many stories and “dramas” regarding white women targeting women of colour to better the reception of their books or race-bait as a person of colour to “better their chances” of getting picked up for a publishing deal.
