Is Alex Aster an industry plant? The YA author that scored a six-figure book deal after she posted a Tiktok of her idea for a novel that went viral is being accused of being an industry plant. This after she announced a movie deal w Universal Studios before her novel's release.
There's a lot of confusions around how she could've gotten such a deal. Recent ARC reviews on Goodreads are saying it's poorly written. Now people have discovered that her twin sister is multimillionaire with industry connections and her parent are wealthy. #Booktok#lightlark
She, today, denied having used any connections. But another conversation going on centers around the privileges she has & how she presented herself as a struggling writer w/ 100s of rejections & 10 yrs of trying when she's 27 with a wealthy family and lives writing FT in NYC.
