Let's talk Book $ Math! When a book functions as part of the funnel, sales create outsized impact.

@pbrisingstars.bsky.social Thank you for the opportunity to be a 2025 mentee! I’ll be working on a manuscript centering #Boricua identity. It’s one I kept doubting myself over, wondering if it was too #Latinx for the market. I’m SO grateful my mentor saw its potential. Can’t wait to start!

THE CLAW OF NOT-TEMPTATION 📸
My #visualpoetry 🍎. I met an unusually attractive apply today and it was my goal to present it in the most awkward artistic way I could. 🎞️ I won.

It’s that that of year! NMPs but featuring a snap I took of the Llewelyn Witches’ Datebook which I got for myself and my sis as a present this past 🎄. Highly recommended if you too are obsessed with hoarding calendars/planners. Missing living in Ireland now.
