Grounding Yourself as a Bookish Content Creator
I have written a bunch of posts about the struggles of social media and navigating life online for hobbies, work, and in general over the past weeks, and I think it is about time that I try to bring some sunshine to this area of discussion. Social media is a tool; it is not all…

Can We Really Change Bookish Social Media Practices?
With the discussions over the last month, from bookish content creation and the increase of publications over the last decade, to creator burnout, authors doubling full-time jobs, and the general struggle for people to keep on top of the fast-moving train that is bookish social media, it all begs the question: can we change things…

The Demand on Authors to Self-Promote
Apologies for the late post, but yesterday was a busy day for me, and I wanted to give this discussion a serious moment and the time to really articulate some of the realities for authors. Going off my last discussion about creator burnout in the digital age, it is time to bring in the ones…

Creator Burnout in the Digital Age
We live in an era where digital content is at the heart of so many aspects of life. Online shopping is a go-to option for millions of people, so many businesses have online presences, especially smaller ones trying to get out there to their communities, and everyday life is something a lot of people share…

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;…

Being an Academic in a Social Media World
I am sure I am not the first to tell you that academia is difficult. It is a jealous and hungry beast, yet it provides minimal opportunities for those wanting to stay long-term. As the research of hundreds of thousands slowly starts churning out publication after publication, I wonder what the lasting impact on the…

My Last PhD Check-in For 2025
What better way to empty my brain and reflect on my academic journey this year than to do a PhD check-in to close off 2025? This isn’t my last post of the year, but with the last day of 2025 only a few days away, I have many discussions lined up for you all, and…

How Bookstagram Has Changed Since 2018
I remember a time where the trending YA books could be counted on one hand, when the cult classics of The Hunger Games and The Infernal Devices were still talked about ardently, TOG was getting more promotion than ACOTAR, and when the kinds of posts that would come across my feed were inherently simpler –…

The Pressure and Subsequent Burnout of Bookstagram
Continuing from last week’s discussion post, let’s dive into the pressures of up-keeping a bookish social media account, specifically a Bookstagram account. I don’t have experience with a BookTok (and I will not be getting one anytime soon) but I will be mentioning booktoks as a part of the pressures of maintaining your brand and…

Bookstagram – A Blessing or A Curse?
Bookstagram, the bookish side of Instagram, has been around for a long time. With reading online spaces like AO3, fanfiction.net for example, and the Millennial Gen-Z social media sphere of X (Twitter), Pinterest, Tumblr, Facebook and Youtube, it wasn’t a surprise that when Instagram came around the book community would flock to the platform. Nowadays,…
