Iโ€™m occasionally accused...

Iโ€™m occasionally accused...

  • 12 October, 2024
  • Emily Kimelman

Of exploiting my beliefs to sell books. As if Iโ€™m only a feminist for marketing purposes and it's totally unrelated to the fact that I am, in fact, a woman. In the mind of these accusers, the ONLY reason to say I think I have equal value to men is to sell books. I know, it's idiotic.

But there are men ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ women out there who think my belief in the value of every humanโ€”no matter who or what they areโ€”is a ploy to trick people out of their money by getting them to buy the books Iโ€™ve spent my entire adult life crafting. Which would be super tricky of me except for the fact that sounds like a TON of work. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Spoiler alert: writing dozens of novels isn't a get rich quick scheme no matter how "woke" you make them. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And writing books you don't enjoy is near impossible.

Then there are the people who believe me that I'm a feminist for the blatantly obvious reasons a woman would be but think talking about climate change, the dangers of religious zealotry, and my intense rage at white supremacist patriarchy in my marketing somehow makes those beliefs disingenuous. Apparently, if I take my rage, turn it into art, and then use that art to win at capitalism, itโ€™s wrong. ๐Ÿค”

And, in a way, I get that. Raging women who write fiction arenโ€™t supposed to be this successful. But thatโ€™s part of the fun for meโ€”doing ๐Ÿ’ฉ Iโ€™m not supposed to do.

Because f*** it. Iโ€™m not taking any s***. Iโ€™m not giving any f***s. And Iโ€™m gonna make bank because of that attitude, not in spite of it.

Want to help me win at capitalism with art? Like books about bada** women and their giant dogs exacting justice with a vengeance, where the dog doesnโ€™t die but the bad guys do?

Then pay what you want for the first 8 Sydney Rye Mysteriesโ€”and I mean that. Iโ€™ve been running this promo for awhile now, and there are people who can only afford the minimum and that is FINE because most people pay the suggested price or more. It all works out and restores this authorโ€™s faith in humanity.

To me, itโ€™s beautiful that each of my readers contributes what they can. I know thatโ€™s not how youโ€™re ๐˜ด๐˜ถ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฐ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ to win at capitalism, but I donโ€™t give a f***. Itโ€™s how I play this game, and so far, itโ€™s working out awesome for me.

Iโ€™m not just saying that to sell you books, either. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Iโ€™m saying it because itโ€™s trueโ€”just like everything else in my marketing. Unlike my books, which are pure fiction. The fiction I use to deal with my rage, piss off ignorant ๐Ÿ’ฉheads, and make a f*** tons of money. ๐Ÿ˜
