• A time capsule of the book blogosphere: The publication of The Weird Sister Collection in book form represents the institutionalization of online writing and discourse at a time when incubator projects for writers—such as literary magazines—are dwindling. The book celebrates the blog’s ten-year anniversary, and acts as an archival testament to the early careers of celebrated feminist writers such as Morgan Parker, Soleil Ho, Christopher Soto, and more.
• Inclusive, conversational criticism: This collection prioritizes diverse and feminist literary and pop culture criticism written in an engaging tone, drawing together threads from the writers’ real-life and relevant experiences with their critical engagement.
