I was accepted into the Scribner Influencer program and I'm so excited about it
Simon & Schuster has an amazing program for readers with certain social media followings, and I've never been accepted into anything- so I'm pretty stoked about this one
Simon & Schuster has a really great program for avid readers, and it’s through their imprint Scribner.
What is the Scribner Influencer program?
I initially found the program on Instagram through other readers I follow and did a little research to be sure it wasn’t a scam.
Once I filled out the application, which I strongly suggest you pull up by visiting the main Scribner Books account to make sure it’s not a scammy site pretending to be Scribner (I’m super paranoid), I was emailed by a woman with a Google form to pick out galley books for the fall 2023 season.
The link can be found by clicking the link in Scribner’s bio and scrolling to the post about their influencer program. From there you’re taken to a Google form and it asks for questions like what your social media handles are and how many followers you have. You’ll need to answer those questions and give your address..
Once accepted, you’ll get the email with a list of books to choose from and answer the same questions. They say right on the form they give priority to accounts with bigger followings, but it’s worth a shot.
What I got
I received two early copies (both to be public Sept. 12) of The Six by Loren Grush and Omega Farm by Martha McPhee.
The Six follows the stories of the first six female astronauts working for NASA and their journies and Omega Farm is a memoir from a woman who uprooted her family and went back home to care for her mother with dementia on a farm found to be in disarray.
There were three other books on the list as well, and I was not notified I was selected to receive any. They just surprised me in the mail, which I was pretty excited about. I’m not sure how long in between filling out the form or receiving the copies even really was, but it was a pretty great surprise. I’m guessing it was my TikTok following that helped me to be selected because it’s over 44,000.
My suggestion is if you love to read, submit the form anyway, and in return provide your honest review.
Stay tuned for reviews of these awesome books!
