Do you write essays about literature? I’m looking to feature essays on Underground Bookshelf that discuss a wide range of literary topics. It could have to do with literary genre, a deep dive into a specific book or series, a discussion on representation, manga, comic books, romance, fantasy, a discussion about a particular author…there are so many directions you could go.
Please reach out if you’re interested. Here’s the link to the website if you’re not already familiar with it.
