      Thank you Wanshu! As an aspiring writer, I learned a lot form your experience and how the "traditional" publishing works and how things are changing. Also I loved to read about the opportunities I can look out to if I am to pursue my writing aspirations.

      I especially loved this quote "However, to me, there’s not much “leveraging”. There is only an imbalance of power". Publishers became mediators between creators and their audience. Slowly but surely the internet and then blockchain is are returning the balance towards the creators.

      How blockchain lets us question all those intermediaries and the "value" they add fascinates me. Now creators have more of that ✨leverage✨. I also love how the creator ecosystem is becoming more open and collaborative since we don't have to stay "secretive" or jealous of the work.

      We are stronger when we build together. Thanks again for sharing your experience! 🌻

                I think some writers have Stockholm syndrome after being held hostage by trad publishers
