I'm so excited to be joining the Bindery community as a tastemaker.

When the Bindery team reached out, I was thrilled that they were considering me as a partner for what they're building here.

I believe in Bindery's mission and feel it closely aligns with my own, and I'm excited to partner with a platform that will support and advance me as I push forward with that mission.

So, if you're here, I'm sure you're curious how this will work.

Let me be clear on a few things right out of the gate.

Partnering with Bindery will not affect the content I create or the spaces where I create it.

All of the short-form content that I create will remain on Instagram and TikTok. My work over on Substack will remain purely on Substack.

The purpose of creating a separate Bindery community outside of those platforms is to build a more intentional, private community of readers — seasoned or new — where we can collaborate, discuss, and build a community we're proud of!

Each week on Bindery I'll be releasing a post dedicated to what I'm reading, what I'm anticipating reading, or simply a curated list of books that I think you'd enjoy.

Along with the weekly curated posts, Bindery members will have exclusive access to the members-only Discord server where we discuss books, participate in monthly club reads, hang out, and offer other cool perks like buddy read requests, slow read buddy read requests, and member book recommendations.

If you want to enhance your reading journey by approaching literature with more intention and curiosity, you're in the right place.
