Table Topic:
Freedom of Speech in the
Book Blogging Community

Abstract:

Niche blogging communities suffer speech freedom as social dissonance dictates subjective thinking.

I was asked by Mishma @ Chasing Faerytales to contribute to a dialogue regarding freedom of speech in the book blogging community. Below is my bit to share with you. Here’s the link to the compilation post on Mishma’s blog: Book Blogging and Speech Freedom: A Collab Post.
