Preordering Manuia's book would be a really cool way to celebrate #AANHPI month. The book also has a beautiful cover that's been revealed since this post 👀
The book was fantastic when I read an early version and I'm sure it's even better now.
I’m so thrilled to share such glowing trade reviews for That Which Feeds Us, including my very first STARRED REVIEW!! 🥹 I set out to write about the unsettling history of Hawaii and I’m so glad this story is leaving its mark 💕
Thank you @buzzfeed.com for this great list and for highlighting That Which Feeds Us! So proud to share space with

Yep. Publishers are WELL AWARE of this, too, otherwise they wouldn't bother with *any* book tours or ad campaigns. If they think something won't move the needle, they don't fork out.
It's just that they only want to give those things to the authors who they want to sell well. *shrug*

Word of mouth is awesome. Enthusiastic nerds on social media can move mountains occasionally. But a decent book tour or ad campaign would move a mountain faster.
