This book is about all of the parts of the Twilight Saga (books and movies) that make up the very complex love/hate relationship that the Twilight fandom has toward Stephenie Meyer, her books, and the subsequent movies. The fandom itself will also be examined as an excellent example of a community grappling with and trying to reclaim problematic media as opposed to “cancelling” it.

We all have a badass inside of us, someone who stands up for themselves and others. Someone who gets shit done. Someone who knows what they want and makes it happen and doesn’t let anyone—or anything—stand in our way. The trouble is, sometimes that badass is deep inside of us and struggles to get out. Fear all too often keeps us from being our true badass selves. Depression and anxiety can make that actualization tough too. Jenny Block’s Badass Manifestations guides her audience to find their badass, confidence, and resilience (that they have not already seen in themselves or had lost) through a series of powerful and passionate mantras.

17-year-old Lexi Carvalho is a small-town girl who is forcibly removed from the only life she has ever known. She wakes up to discover that she has been living in a simulation of Earth as it was in the early 21st century. Earth was destroyed centuries ago, and what's left of humanity lives in a nearby space station. Over 700,000 people, known as "Iron Dreamers" live within the simulation, unaware of the true reality. The simulation exists because the future has many problems, and what's left of humanity does not have the computing power or innovation to solve them all. People kept in suspension consume less food, space and oxygen. Lexi is recruited to capture an unknown figure who is sabotaging the simulation and putting all of humanity at risk. But why are they trying to destroy the simulation if it's been working for centuries? And why was Lexi woken from it?

Commercial photography is a coveted, prestigious, elusive industry. It’s the definition of gatekept. Many photographers have the talent. They’ve been to school, taken courses, and honed their skills. What they don’t have is the industry know-how to get their work in front of the right people, make a good first impression, and navigate contracts. There are rules and information they don’t have access to. In short, they can shoot beautiful pictures but not book the dream clients they want.Eventually, they come to believe that commercial photography isn’t a possibility for them. They stay in their comfort zone, playing it safe, and never chase their dreams of making it in the big leagues. Those dreams die on the vine, not for a lack of skill, but because this opaque industry is tough to break into.The road to that dream is a long one paved with hustle, hard work, and rejection.

Because it is possible and not reserved for the elite; it’s for anyone willing to do the work. All you need is a little tenacity, talent (which you have!), and the tips and tricks in this book.The Photo Hustle is the insider tell-all every aspiring commercial photographer needs to bridge the gap between textbook knowledge and real-world skills. It is not a guide to photography, like how to take great pictures or operate aperture or shutter speed. It’s about the business—the ultimate guide to landing dream clients like Tiffany's, Vanity Fair, or Nike . . . and to keeping those clients booking you again and again!
