MEET BROCK

@brocksgaybookshelf

I take being chronically online as a compliment. I’m a content creator with over 62,000 followers across Instagram, Tiktok, and Threads where I post about Queer books—with an emphasis on romance and fantasy—lifestyle, running, coffee shops, and cozy hobbies like crochet. Before I started posting about books online, my publishing journey began over seven years ago in academic publishing as a marketing assistant at Cornell University Press. Currently I’m the Digital Marketing Manager at The University of North Carolina Press overseeing social media, web content, email marketing, and digital ads, among other things. My approach to marketing strategy is heavily rooted in digital community building and my own experience as a content creator and consumer.
