trying to beat the algorithm is a bit exhausting. I’ve seen all the vids, I know the tricks but being a business page and promoting poetry is a unique niche to be in. But through it all, I’ve been able to promote my book to a lot of amazing people on this app so I’ll keep showing up to find my audience. All that being said! Not A Monolith is finding a way through the noise and I am so grateful for all the support. Just please remember to engage thoughtfully especially with black business and indie authors 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 #blackbooktok #poetrybook #poetry #supportme #viralvideo #fyp

I prefer amazon and goodreads for reviews but of course appreciate all my tik tok reviews 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾 #blacktiktok #bookreview #poetrybook #poetrytok #indieauthor

I kept it short and sweet for once! Not A Monolith poems and musings of a black woman by me, Shantasha Naomi Laing! I wanted to create something unapologetically black, authentically black and diverse as we are not monolithic but are uniquely connceted. Thank you to everyone that sees this and has already supported and welcome to all the new people i hope to reach. As always, engagement is key 🫶🏾 thank you everyone #poet #blackafbooktok #bookish #supportme #dreamscometrue #indieauthor #viralvideo

It was hard but I largely stayed away from poetry when i was writing (especially during editing) Not A Monolith. I wanted to find my voice in my debut poetry book and i know i have the tendency to “sponge”! But once I published, i made a commitment to explore all types of poetry and it’s been a pleasure seeing all the different ways people reflect the world. So as we enter 2025, i encourage the book world to leave a little more space for poetry because i’m telling you it’s on the rise 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾 As always thanks to all purchasing Not A Monolith! Good news, i am officially out of the probation period which means i can take more than 50 orders a day 😭😭😭 #poetrybook #poetrylover #blackafbooktok #poet #fyppppppppppppppppppppppp #viraltiktok
