What is format-related book bigotry?

Carolyn Howard-Johnson uses the term #bookbigotry to describe snap judgements about a book on the basis that it is independently published - without so much as looking at the description, the author's bio, or even glimpsing the cover.

Over three episodes, we'll examine how readers, reviewers, publishing professionals, and even writers may show prejudices for or against books depending on their format, platform, and location of origin - starting with a focus on format (physical vs. ebooks).

Join author, linguist, and mathematician-in-the-making Sarah on an exploration of the world through the lens of letters and numbers!
