Read on Twitter
Important thread, would appreciate if you& #39;d take the time to read!
It& #39;s time to have a somewhat difficult conversation. I& #39;ll be posting a video going more in-depth about this, but I figured I would post here as well!
Starting today, I will be charging for personalized book recommendations. While this may seem kind of dumb (because isn& #39;t our entire community based around recommending and discussing books?), I feel it& #39;s a necessary step for me to take.
I get countless requests for curated book lists every week, be it on here, on Twitter, or on my YouTube comments. While I& #39;m always happy to help you find a kickass book, it takes a lot of time and energy that could be spent toward making new content or self-care.
I& #39;ll be accepting payments via PayPal, but I ask that you please DM me before sending anything so we can discuss the type and number of recommendations you& #39;re looking for. I& #39;ll be charging $10 for a list of 5 books, and each additional book will be an additional $2.
This is something that& #39;s been weighing on me for awhile now, and I& #39;m happy to get it off my chest and into the world. It& #39;s a small step, but at least it& #39;s a step. Remember that you should be offering marginalized folks (especially BIPOC) compensation for the extra work you
expect them to do.
