News

Welcome to Books & Articles Weekly. There will not be editions of the Weekly for the next two weeks. I will be traveling. I will still be awarding sats for the top posts. This was another good week for the territory. @ek’s short story took top honors. I’m very glad to see that he is back posting his creative writing. @denlillaapan gave us another book review, this time of “The Great Harvest.” We get to feast on his leftovers, which isn’t a bad deal. @TotallyHumanWriter posted his latest “Unphiltered”, where he reveals his struggles. We can all learn from him.

Thanks to everyone who contributed.

There is a zap award for the top 5 posts weekly. It will be broken down as follows:

1. 1000 sats
2. 250 sats
3. 250 sats
4. 250 sats
5. 250 sats

Posts will be judged using SN zaprank. The cut off time is 9:00am EST (1300GMT) Saturday morning. I will post the top 5 winners shortly around 9:00am every Saturday morning.

I reserve the right to not award any sats for the week. I also reserve the right to deny sat awards to bare link posts. I recognize that link posts can be valuable, so I will only only exercise discretion for low quality links that garner few sats or engagement from stackers.

Happy reading!

As always, please reply with suggestions and opinions on how to make this territory better.
