I rebuilt my platform from zero on July 13. In ten weeks: 7,324 followers across Instagram, TikTok & Facebook, over 1.3 million cross-platform views — and 97.8% of my Instagram views came from non-followers.

The numbers

New account. Not a new voice.

Ten years of reading and writing about books, poured into a fresh start on July 13. The audience found it fast.

TikTok · the newer, faster one
Newer handle. Steeper climb.

Small views. Loud signals.

A brand-new handle already moving like an established one — 196.8K post views since launch, with 88.1% of traffic coming from For You. Give me the right book, audio and hook, and one clip outruns a whole week.

Free reach I don't even chase.

My reels break out on Facebook too.

Every reel auto-crossposts to Facebook — and lately a few have taken off on their own, pulling thousands of comments with zero extra work. Pure bonus reach on top of the Instagram numbers above.

Where I review
Every read gets a verdict.

Goodreads first. Then everywhere.

Goodreads is home base — every review lands there first, then travels to the platforms publishers actually check.

The case for physical PR
Send the book. Watch it travel.

Physical PR isn't a cost — it's a hook.

The videos that break out almost always have something to hold — a book in-hand, character art, a signed edition, a themed box. It gives viewers a reason to stop, stare, and stay. Talking about a book performs; showing the object performs harder.

  • In-hand book reveals & first-look unboxings
  • Character art & illustrated editions
  • Special editions — sprayed edges, foils, signed copies
  • Themed PR boxes & props

How I work, honestly: written reviews are always free — that's labor I'm glad to give. The videos are where a book blows up, reaching tens of thousands of new readers. To make those, physical PR is the baseline, and bigger pushes are worth a conversation. Reviews are a gift; video reach is a craft.

Launch 02“Books That Changed My Brain Chemistry”My reading arc from ACOTAR to erotic horror — books, authors, escalation.

Every video closes with an Audiobook Corner. Every review runs through two voices: the fan, and the writer.

Work with me

Two ways to team up.

Always free

Honest reviews

Send me your book. If I sign up for it, the read and the verdict stay independent and free — my opinion is my own, and that's exactly why my audience trusts it.

Let's talk

Promo & content

The videos are where a book blows up — tens of thousands of new readers in a weekend. Dedicated reels, TikToks and carousels built to travel, clearly marked as promo, made in my voice. How far we take it is a conversation: the more you put behind a campaign, the more I put behind it. You're buying the spotlight, never a rating.

Let's make your book impossible to scroll past.
