It is honestly the worst thing about the timeline and the industry right now in my opinion. Take note though that a follower count won’t make or break wether or not a publisher chooses to publish you, especially if you can get their editor on your side through sheer passion. But a following does really help, and the more business side of the industry loves that shit.


I think one of the things that depresses me by the way is that we were told stories, stories that were just a generation ago, of how some authors/publishers would stand ins greet corners shouting about their books. How they would wear signs and sell copies of their novel to anyone who would pay them mind. How they would make connections with the people who approached them and how this concept was seen as a novel idea. Now it’s all impersonal.
