One thing I have learned about social change writing is that it can manifest in a variety of different ways. It is written in many genres, targets disparate groups of people, and works towards enacting different levels of social change. I previously had a more narrow conception about what social change writing meant, which was more strictly tied really to protest movements and motivational pieces.

I am wondering how authors of social change texts like to measure their success. One obvious way would be by measuring literary awards/accolades, but I am wondering if there are are other metrics specific to pieces with implications for social change and what those metrics may look like.
