$30 for a self-published digital audiobook?

Japanese American SFS student with SFs teacher mom.

Main topic is racism against anyone not white.

Ok….

No thanks. Pass.


Are you looking for a bargain? Amazon is selling it for $29.99, and it’s $17.99 on Kindle.

Ah yes, a big budget film is totally in the works.

Makes so much sense, given all the success, awards and readership.

No actual publisher so no rev share there!

What an aspirational book!

In this YA genre too?
Are the DC private schools gobbling it up to displace all the classic period piece books with circa 2020 DEI “novels”?

Funny. I know so many novelists whose work has been shopped around Hollywood and goes nowhere.



It says she’s on the PA and gala committee but not of which school


There is no gala and never has been.
.

Yes but there’s an auction. Or at least there used to be. Literary license.


It used to be gala like before 2020


The Gala in the gym? I wouldn’t call it that.
