torrye.bsky.social @torrye.bsky.social · 02/02/2025@amygarner.bsky.social Just FYI - I heard back from StoryGraph and they said you should be able to add as many books as you can with no fee. Perhaps it has changed since you last tried? Please let me know if this isn’t true! 020

torrye.bsky.social @torrye.bsky.social · 27/01/2025Books I've taught and read to my students and own children to share stories of resilience, resistance, and reckoning. When we provide students with books that illuminate hard truths, we arm them with the knowledge to think critically, empathize deeply, and stand firmly against injustice. #BookSky 2172
torrye.bsky.social @torrye.bsky.social · 27/01/2025I just saw a few other comments and I was not aware. I definitely do not want to hurt authors who aren't mainstream in the process, so I'm going to email questions to the company and provide feedback now. 050
torrye.bsky.social @torrye.bsky.social · 27/01/2025Thank you for sharing this because I was not aware. I am going to send feedback today and ask how they are helping smalltime authors. I definitely do not want to hurt authors who aren't mainstream in the process. 040
