I can only hope that once tiktok is gone in the US, booktokers don't move to infect bookstagram & booktube with clout-based behavior. We do not have to tolerate it. We can ✨absolutely✨ gatekeep basic respect towards writers & readers alike 📚💙 #booksky #blackbooksky #writingcommunity #authors #books

I don't believe tiktok is a healthy platform for writers...not anymore. To be a bit dramatic...booktok has fallen. You won't feel nearly as shamed or harassed or dog pilled and mocked on bookstagram or booktube. Even as a reader it's gotten a bit...weird. 📚💙 #booksky #blackbooksky #writingcommunity

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

Don't know if y'all know this but avid readers and writers LOVED the Kendrick Lamar vs Drake beef. In fact, we loved the entire beef season. The "I don't get the big deal bc I'm sooo intellectual" crowd was never & could never be us. #booksky 📚💙 #writers #writingcommunity #blacksky #blackbooksky

📚💙 How big picture readers differ from alpha and betas: ☑️ Focus on overall experience ☑️ Stories appeal ☑️ Reader-centric ☑️ Target audience ☑️ Feedback on how captivating and engaging it is for your typical (target) reader 🚫 In-depth critiques 🚫 Grammar 🚫 Structure #booksky #blackbooksky

Before you jump to alpha & beta readers consider if you're really interested in "big picture" readers! Terms for these readers: 📚 Appeal reader 📚 Audience reader 📚 Interest reader 📚 Engagement reader 📚 Marketability reader What they do: Evaluate the story's potential to appeal! #booksky 📚💙

My main character has poor social skills. I just hope the critics pick up on that rather than spamming one star reviews 🤦🏾‍♀️ she has a lot of personality, just socially stunted with 'new' people like many of the "shy" girls reading. Writing her either way tho 📚💙 #booksky #blackbooksky #writingcommunity

📚💙 So I heard Stephanie Meyer was able to choose some of the actors playing in the twilight movie. I've always heard authors get so little say, so I'm just here to remind you all to include that bit in your contracts #booksky #blackbooksky #writingcommunity #writers

I wish Goodreads and Amazon etc gave authors the choice to opt out of the heavily flawed "star rating system" & instead welcome more of a discussion based review system. People have used the star system as a weapon against their rivals & rival fan bases not to mention racism #booksky #writers 📚💙

📚 so this is what writing 200k words looks like. So far I'm coming up on a year of editing after 3 years of writing this thriller. To say that this story means so much to me is an understatement. It aided in healing me. I just really hope you all enjoy🖤 excerpts soon. #booksky #writers #writing

📚So I wrote a story about Morena latinos of African and indigenous ancestry. It takes place in Mexico and features 🤎 leads. I've been working on it for nearly 4 years. It's a thriller dark fantasy that takes you on wild twists and turns. A bit of romance and none of the antagonists are cartel.
