@brandyjensen.bsky.socialreally fun review!! total pleasure to read
@jefflester.bsky.socialReposted by @brandyjensen.bsky.socialThis was a great review—succinctly sums up the arguments of the book that it’s reviewing; explains why those arguments are important; transmits the excitement at encountering and engaging with those arguments. And since it’s about the state of publishing today, I hope writers on here read it.
@lalouverouge.bsky.socialReposted by @brandyjensen.bsky.socialHad the immense pleasure of reviewing Content Machines by @sarahbrouillette.bsky.social for Defector. It's a must-read on the state of the "literary," and much else. Thanks to my editor @brandyjensen.bsky.social!

@jpinckney.bsky.socialReposted by @brandyjensen.bsky.socialThis is always nice to see, but especially so here since it’s gotta be one of the first quotes from a piece of @defector.com book criticism to make it into a book’s paperback edition. Many more to come thanks to @brandyjensen.bsky.social and team. Huge credit to them for making space for the books.
