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

They're labeling each other cruel names based on reading habits, harassing authors and bringing up their personal life because they didn't like an ending, measuring people's intelligence based on how they read... Aye 🤦🏾‍♀️

There are booktokers who make it a trend to drag a certain trope or genre or series for months on end. Mind you this is all to earn from the Creator fund. They drag in order to make new profitable content. They take a small issue within the book and turn it into the author being horrible

I saw a booktoker throwing a book in the trash on fire because they disliked it. And they were praised. I don't know... but that hurt my heart. When I was a teen I 🙏🏾 for books. I didn't have a lot of access to them. If me & my friends didn't like a book we didn't record ourselves burning it

Another thing is the first video I saw when I rejoined booktok was someone saying "dear writers, no one wants to read your STANK books anyway. So don't suggest them in my comments!" (It's not the message... It's the way booktokers praise condescending tones. & writers aren't even allowed to respond)

I guess the last straw for me was there was some1 who claimed they were reading a book in public & someone asked how they liked it. They said they didn't (which is fine) & it turned out to be the author. Readers in the replies were coming up with ways to further humiliate the author on the spot. (1)

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.”

You're about to come out of it with so much strength. By the time you get your yes, you will be more than ready to face the obstacles that accompany it. At this moment, you are simply training for what you deserve. 🤎

I'm not sure if they told you this but Dasani water uses an ingredient used to euthanize someone in the death penalty. They claim it's a safe amount but you have to wonder how different a safe amount becomes if you're drinking a lot of it. And then also consider they could literally leave it out

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

Oh... All my sensual scenes have spoilers 😅... But I guess the sweetest moment is when MFC is going on about how she feels invisible like the ghosts in the cemetery she tends to & he says to her that he sees her. But she's not sure if he actually said it because it was so low... & she was panicking

📚💙 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 📚💙

I break a particular literary rule in order to develop my own "writers voice" just like singers break specific vocal rules in order to make their voice distinguishable. In doing so, my tone comes across a lot darker and I love it considering I write thrillers. #booksky #blackbooksky #blacksky 📚💙

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
