Readers Can’t Get Enough of BookTok. Publishers Are Cashing In.

Traditionally, you know, for as long as books have existed, it has been a handful of gatekeepers in the biggest publishing houses that have decided what readers are going to read. And now publishers are rushing to keep up with what the readers are saying they like, as opposed to publishers telling readers, this is what you get to choose from.

I think TikTok is changing and will continue to change everything about publishing. It's giving readers power that they have never had before. It's allowing authors to hold onto their rights to make money outside of the publishing machine. I think the publishers who pay attention and who adapt rather than resisting are going to really rise to the top.

And so I went into a different career for many years thinking, well, someday I'll write my book. Like, I'll get there someday. And then during the pandemic, as I think many people did, I sort of reassessed what I wanted out of life and whether I was really happy with where I was. And I realized that I really wanted to write that book that I'd always been kind of dreaming about writing.

I was made of swinging fists and rash words, my edges too jagged and my temper too hot. Nothing about me was delicate. Sometimes I wondered whether Henry's taste had changed or whether he thought he saw something different in me, the nurturing healer who stepped up to care for her family in her mother's absence. But I didn't choose to be a healer, nor did I choose to take my mother's role.
