Stacey Yu has over 100,000 literary fiction readers who follow her on TikTok and she was shortlisted for Creator of the Year by the TikTok UK Book Awards. Previously, she worked in Publicity at Random House.

Join me today at 1pm EST, when I’ll be asking Stacey:

  • Of all the social media platforms, why is TikTok so powerful at reaching readers?

  • What is the literary fiction corner of BookTok like and what kinds of books have done well there?

  • How do books get big on BookTok? What can publishers, or authors, do to make a book happen?

  • How do creators work with publishers and/or authors?

  • What advice does she have for writers who are on the fence about whether they should be creating or engaging on TikTok?

I will interview Stacey for about 30 minutes and then open it up to your questions!

If you can’t attend live, there will be a recording available to watch for 7 days.

As a reminder, this is a private, off-the-record conversation, exclusively available to my diamond medallion members. You may not post quotes from the conversation anywhere on the internet, or create content out of my events. Keeping the Chat Room series private allows both me and my guests to speak candidly.
