With a Rainy, Blustery Day, the Annual Atlantic Antic Drew a Smaller Crowd

Post Author By Rimuru
Post Date September 10, 2024

Post Date July 1, 2023

Then came the clincher. The publisher was ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, a social media company that traffics in short videos and has, over the past several years, helped create some of the biggest best sellers on the market. Along with an advance and royalties, the company was offering comprehensive online marketing services, according to several authors and
