The illuminated snark

This morning I decided to revisit miss snarks blog about submitting, because I recommended it on a literary forum as a way to overcome impatience after sending in a first manuscript. Being there, I decided to write a comment about platforms. Why do writers need a platform? Shouldn't agents be the ones who need to have a platform? If you add snark to illuminated, you get the title of an article by John Tufail: An interpretation of the relationship between text and images in Carroll's great nonsense poem (Carroll wrote Alice in Wonderland).
It's in pdf format though.

This all ties in with the subject of my book.
