That’s when I decided to make the TikTok video. “ Every single publisher was mainly saying that the genre is so saturated. The novel, “ Lightlark ,” had recently received tons of rejections from publishers and she was determined to prove that she wasn’t the only person in the world who wanted to read it.
That accolade goes to TikTok - or, more specifically, BookTok, a community on the social media platform dedicated to readers and authors who share their favorite books, characters and literary anecdotes.Īfter hundreds of rejections - seriously, she’s been writing books and querying agents since she was 12 years old - Aster joined TikTok in March 2021 to share the concept of a young adult novel she’d been working on for several years. While the “Eat, Pray, Love” author might have bettered Aster’s insight into her own creativity, it’s not the only thing that changed the course of her life. She gives me the book, recounting how it completely changed her life. Instead, she buys a beige tote bag with a picture of her second home, the famed Union Square B&N in New York City, and “ Big Magic” by Elizabeth Gilbert. ” Despite our best efforts - and introverted refusal to ask for help - we can’t find the book.
We spend the next 30 minutes wandering the stacks hunting for Jennette McCurdy’s hotly debated memoir, “ I’m Glad My Mom Died. She demonstrates her typical filming strategy, which is a test of both physics and balance, and points out the spot where her anticipated YA novel, “Lightlark,” will sit on the shelves it’s just above best-selling authors Victoria Aveyard and Leigh Bardugo. “I usually stack two or three books to create a sort of stand.” “I come here several times a week,” she says, pointing to a corner of the Young Adult section that often acts as a background for her many viral TikToks.
