Although sometim, as a wrer, I receive an ARC or a promotnal bookmark (for the, I am grateful), I knew there was no way I was gettg my hands on any of that premium merch. Instead, I showed up at a ffee rt pop-up Fort Greene, Brooklyn, (sponsored by <em>AirMail</em> and Farrar, Strs, and Giroux, Rooney’s publisher) and won myself a tote bag the old fashned way—by answerg a Rooney-themed trivia qutn rrectly.

Now, many publicy and marketg mpaigns are created wh fluencers md, wh TikTok vio-worthy PR box and brand swag that’s signed to create a <em>social media moment </em>upon a book’s publitn.
