Your Instructor
Hey, I'm Jessica Schad Manuel, Ph.D.
I'm a facilitator and guide for passionate readers and thinkers, leading the vibrant community at Book Oblivion.
I'm the person readers turn to when they crave deeper connections and insights into literature and philosophy. No dry lectures or monotonous discussions here.
I help them navigate complex texts and ideas, encouraging conversations and creativity, enabling them to engage with challenging materials in a relaxed, friendly environment.
As an entrepreneur and creator, I've honed my approach through extensive experience, guiding a diverse group of readers and thinkers from around the world in exploring the intersections of literature, philosophy, art, and rhetoric.
Currently, the primary way to engage with me and our community is through Book Oblivion's unique offerings.
If you're eager to explore the world of literature and philosophy with a group that values curiosity and intellectual growth, join us at Book Oblivion. Just reach out, and we'll introduce you to our community of avid readers and thinkers.
