Congrats! I hope to emulate your success. Really curious how the essay collection books will work cause Im thinking of doing smth similar with my essays.

I think having an obvious thematic connection,like your Matrix essays, is the way to do it.

Thats defly one thing Im hoping to do! Would you have any advice on utilizing images eg from the movies or scripts in such a case? Is it better to remove them from the essays entirely?

That I do not have a good answer for.

Since I'm just writing about books, I can most likely get away without using any images inside the book. For something like the Matrix, where the visuals of a scene may be very important for your argument, I'm sure there are ways to use it without getting in trouble.

And, honestly, one way to do it may be just to do it and hope no one cares!
