A Shameless Little Plea for Engagement (Because the Algorithm Demands Sacrifice)

This is not a normal blog post. No deep literary musings. No DIY tutorials. No Austen analysis (though we will talk about her again soon, obv). This, dear reader, is a shameless engagement grab.

Because as it turns out, the internet doesn’t reward quiet, bookish crafting in candlelit corners. No, it rewards clicks. Comments. Subscriptions. Shares. Basically, we’re all dancing for the Algorithm like medieval jesters. Slay.

So if you’ve found your way here, hello - you’re officially part of my plot to summon more eyes to this little corner of the internet.

Here’s the Situation

I’ve been handbinding books for a few years now, designing Halloween Kindle sleeves and just…day to day sleeves, creating typeset downloads for classics like Dracula and Austen’s six major novels, and basically trying to build a tiny fantasy library on the internet. But right now, it’s a bit like yelling into the void.

How You Can Help (With Minimal Effort, Promise)

Here’s how you can become a member of The Scriptor’s Guild™ (that’s you now):

  • Join the mailing list - there’s a mystical little box that says “Whispers from the Conservatory” (or similar, depending on where I left it last). This genuinely helps me more than you think.

  • Share the site with your friends - if you know a fellow cozy bookish girly (or man or they/them, we welcome all) who would die for a glow-in-the-dark Kindle sleeve, send them this.

  • Browse the shop - even just clicking around helps the site come alive in the Great Google Machine.

I’m a tiny bookish business in the UK, run on equal parts medieval whimsy and the sheer willpower it takes to handbind a novel without cursing at the thread (although I absolutely *do* do that). Your engagement isn’t just numbers - it’s the difference between this staying a secret corner of the internet and it becoming the cozy fantasy bookshop the algorithm can’t ignore.

So… Wanna Help?

If you’ve read this far, congratulations - you’re already more engaged than most lol.

Sign up. Poke around. Summon your book club. Let’s trick the algorithm into thinking this is the coolest gothic library on the internet. Lots of love xx
