I was recently featured in the Buffer newsletter by Kirsti and the Buffer team! Here is an excerpt from the interview that they included in the newsletter on 12/04/2024

What made you decide to create a platform to share your love of books? ”During Covid, I needed a creative outlet and a new space to publish book reviews, so I revamped my study blog into a book account. Since then, my account has grown tenfold, and I’ve gained a whole community of friends from all over the world who share my love of books, Formula 1, and Taylor Swift!

What tools do you use to create your work? “I mostly use my iPhone camera, Canva, or Procreate. If I’m working on videos, I use CapCut. I edit my photos on Adobe Lightroom, to ensure the same look and feel across the board. I draft, plan, and schedule my posts using Notion and Buffer. Buffer also serves as my main platform for tracking analytics and managing engagement.”

What are your favorite Buffer features? ”I absolutely love using the analytics feature and creating my own reports. It really helps me focus on what I’m doing well and see any areas for improvement. My new favorite is the Board view in the Create section, where I centralize all my ideas and upcoming content. I love using it as a bit of a media gallery, so I know which images I’ve already used, can prepare materials for upcoming campaigns, plan out my calendar, and keep regular evergreen content ideas on hold.”

What’s your number 1 piece of advice for creators just starting out? “My tip is to be genuine! I think the idea a lot of people have is that you need to have a certain ‘look’ or ‘vibe’ in order to be a book influencer and that your shelves have to look a certain way or that you need to have certain accessories. That’s not at all true! Fellow readers love the authenticity, and who cares if your shelves are messy if you’re sharing how much you loved a recent release!”
