What the duck is that question on her YouTube channel? If I were to publish would you read?

Um…. Talk about testing the waters to see if you’d rake in enough money. She clearly was told to ask that. These people are disgusting

To think of all the writers out there who have emails unread by publishers and can’t get their foot in the door. Yet ruby gets hers because of the fans, gross
"I'm just really interested to know!"

Come on Ruby, how stupid do you think we are? Part of your pitch is going to be that you have X number of subscribers ready to pre-order it.

Lmao, and goodbye to her pretence that she would not rely on her social media presence for her writing career

Yup... to quote her ranty rant: "EVERYTHING ELSE COMES SECOND (including YouTube, which I cannot and will not rely on for book sales; I just can't let myself do that)"

Remember the whole “I want to be a published author because of the quality of my writing” shtick and “YouTube won’t come into it”.

Now it’s so obvious she’s using her influencer status to push her book sales, gauge interest and try and get a foot in the door. She knows full well that no one would buy her book, nor would she even be in the position to get it published if she wasn’t Ruby Granger the YouTuber. Trying to say she wants to do it all off her own back is so disingenuous.

Publish your book under a pseudonym, Ruby. Then we’ll really see if you can get people to enjoy your book when they don’t know it’s you and you can’t get that YouTube credit. Exactly what you want, right?

lol she sure got over her scruples about relying on youtube for book sales in record time 😂

View attachment 1383007

petition to add one more option - “yes please, for snark purposes”

wait. ”If I were to publish”? Is she implying she’s considering self-publishing after all?
She "cannot and will not rely on for book sales; she just won't let herself do this"...for 2-6 weeks.

And if enough people put "No", is she just going to give up on her supposed lifelong dream of being a writer after screaming at herself that it was her "identity" and that she claims she loves doing it more than anything?

It was already blindingly obvious that she was only chasing money and fame with this considering she chose to write in a genre which she has shown disinterest and disdain for and immediately started comparing herself to Stephen King when she started talking about being an author. But this really drives that tit home.

Plus she already has the answer to this. She has a test case in Erimentha Parker. How many of your fans and followers bought that, Ruby? There's your answer, considering you're just rehashing that tit again writing another sloppy book about a gifted Ruby proxy and a bunch of cartoon bullies in a world without boys.

lolol she has to have written that herself, it's so self-congratulatory
I'd assume so too, right up until the point where it's spelled correctly. And Ruby would never call herself a "self-titled" bookworm.

I love that this extended plot blurb only confirms that Ruby brazenly wrote about her fantasy version of herself again, and 16 year-old Rooblottie's only friend is 9 years old. Did she write this as a gift for Tattle? I can't. 😂😂😂

Also I can only assume that Daddy Bones must've really pissed her off last year by refusing to drive hundreds of miles and collect her from uni for the 15th time in a month, because she's divorced her parents in this book and sent him away to live on a farm.

Wait guys I’ve not been on this thread in a while but have you saw this?

I just googled her book and this post came up
Wait, so this girl is responsible for a 9 year old going missing and her main concern is her GCSE coursework? Ice cold lmfao

uncarley, sally thames and EKG are my faves but they don't really read YA
I can’t stand uncarley, she seems to just talk about the same 10 books all the time and every single review of hers is either ‘this book is for mentally ill women’ ‘this book is toxic/unhinged’ or ‘this book is a red flag’ lmfao

The Police: "A nine year-old girl is missing and it's your fault, Lottie."
Lottie:


Lottie Parton's got homework to submit, she can't be worrying about every child under her care.

The wording of the blurb is incredibly clunky imo. "Cleans so much she could be a professional" sounds so bad to me.

Right?
If you want to explore an over-achiever suddenly struggling with expectations and perfectionism you can do that without bringing in missing 9 year olds and serious crimes lmao

“GCSE workload piling up” 😂😂

Good god, that description makes it sound like a bad piece of Year 8 creative writing.

Even if Ruby had this intention I doubt it was going to fly with an agent / potential publishers. A family friend who was a journalist got a book deal recently and her whole twitter became about her book, because her publisher told her it had to. Even if you have a minor online presence (she has around 1000 followers on twitter) you're expected to use it to push initial sales.

The only way would be to do like Jk Rowling with her crime series and send books off to agents / publishers under a pseudonym from the beginning.

Literally, where does this 9 year old even come into it? Is it her sister, her mate? I know blurbs are short but she is really giving us nothing there.
I know that tattle said it couldn’t be done, but just from reading that, I actually have a feeling that Ruby may have managed to write a book with a plotline more stupid and unbelievable than Erimenthol’s to do list 😅
