Hey Colin! 

Thanks for doing this AMA. A paragraph fan here :)) 

Which books have shaped your thinking the most or been most useful to your current experience of building a platform for writers?

Thank you! I reckon they are classics for a reason (I quite enjoyed zero to one:) 

Also excited about Dixon's web3 book. 

Maybe could even make a farcaster book club session for that one. I think we could get enough people together!

I am a big fan of the often-cited cliché startup books: eg Lean Startup, Zero to One, Hard Thing about Hard Things. These aren't specific to writing, but they have formed my thoughts on how to build & run an early-stage startup that uses software

I'm also excited about Chris Dixon's upcoming web3 book!
