My guest this week is the youtuber and instragramer known as Bookborn. Bookborn is a video essayist and reviewer primarily of science fiction and fantasy, engaging in deep dives on tropes, philosophical questions, community, authors, and more. She’s also one of the judges for the popular Self Published Fantasy Blog-off.
Bookborn and I chat about the difficulty of gauging success on the internet and the emotional complications of reviewing media when you know there are real-life people on the other end. We also hit a bit of topical news regarding the way anger tends to sell so much better and how that messes with the view counts on her youtube channel. Enjoy my conversation with Bookborn!
Find Bookborn on Youtube and Instagram.
Find Brian McClellan at his website, on Twitter and Instagram, or find his books on Amazon, direct from his bookstore, or wherever books are sold!
