Synopsis

Oh, the Pics That You'll Post! puts a millennial spin on the Dr. Seuss classic Oh, the Places You’ll Go!, paying homage to the classic while satirizing the extent to which one must go today in order to achieve the #goal of becoming an influencer.

Oh, the Pics That You’ll Post! will strike a chord for anyone who has dabbled in social media, from those just starting, to the gram-vets and even for those who have made it to insta-stardom and are out their living their #bestlife. It offers a nice break from the daily scroll and is both comic relief and a light cautionary tale about what might happen if one’s life is centered around Instagram. And believe Maiana Rose, there are things that can go wrong, such as maxing out credit cards, plummeting self-esteem, and missing out on Amore in Rome. Oh, the Pics That You’ll Post! is a metaphorical journey of becoming an influencer with a message that younger generations are sorely in need of: put the phone down and live life.

About this title

About the Author

Maiana Rose attended Pitzer College for her undergraduate, graduating in 2014 with a BA in interdisciplinary media studies, fine arts, and anthropology. After which, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in entertainment and art. Maiana found an avenue to meld her love of comedy and art when she decided to start an illustrated Instagram account from which she lovingly mocks social media trends. Also, she attempts to simply bring to light some issues society faces surrounding social media, mostly the amount of attention people give it above other things. Maiana sees Oh, The Pics That You'll Post! as a way to poke light fun at ourselves, while also sending a message to the up and coming generation that Instagram is not life. She began a line of Instagram inspired postcards which she sold at local stores in Los Angeles and moved on to writing Oh, The Pics That You'll Post!, and she hopes to continue authoring and illustrating books with a little edge of social commentary and humor.
