Petition to add a "NFM" code on book reviews to help readers and authors. I.e. Decline to review, with comment "not for me (NFM)" Reviews are for the reader, but they do disproportionally impact new marginalized authors. NFM reviews could work for readers and reduce that impact

Being an author means that, at some point, a twinkly-eyed bookstore shopkeeper said to you: "Now, you come back here to sign books when YOU'RE the published author" And then one day you go back and tell your story, and they awkwardly say "Um, that's nice." But, you're still an author!
