What exactly do you want to know? Its viral marketing. Rupi Kaur has monetized handdrawn facebook platitudes. Mira Gonzales is almost forced to keep saying the same shit to stay on brand. These are the death rattles of an industry that us fighting for relevancy,

I wanted to know more specifically who these authors are and everyone's take on how these authors fit into contemporary literature

Check out this booktuber abookutopia. She's the biggest one. Decided she wanted to write a book. Emailed the YA book publishers. They saw all her followers and gave her a book deal. Zenith is a NY times best seller now lmao

What I would like to know is what platforms have readers looking for stuff to read in the first place. I thought Instagram was for pictures. Why am I asking anyway? it's not like anyone on 4chan is using social media.
