This is so exciting!

If you can't eat all your tortillas you should definitely freeze some. Then just set them out when you want them again

The marketing stuff is so cool!

I love how insightful this is with the mini Q&As! Also, your earrings are so pretty!

Those trackers are so cute!

Love the thumbnails for this series!

This was so inspiring!

Your hair is stunning!

This is so motivating and I love your vlogs!

I need my spice to have plot otherwise the story doesn't hold my attention.

I’m the same, with both my books and CZcams videos. Someone will comment on a video I posted eight months ago and I’m like…no idea what you’re talking about, sorry!

I see your struggles on the thumbnail, but I love this series so much. I look forward to a new video everyday and really enjoy being involved this closely. <3

Steph Loves reads lots in this genre ❤

Royalties are always a pain to work out 😅 Hope all the designing goes well!

Hi Katie. Would you be willing to share an example of what you write when reaching out to ARC readers and influencers? Or what research you did to help you figure out wording to reach out to people?

Omggg i would definitely read that looks 🔥🔥

Wishing you the best with this book!

I love your vlogs! They always inspire me!

I can't wait to read this, it sounds so good!! ❤❤❤

I like to read books with spice but don’t put them in my books

I self-published my first novel at the end of 2022 and took it offline in Feb 2023. I realized I basically did everything wrong, lol, but I learned so much! Now I'm re-working that book and re-creating all of my marketing materials. I'm so excited to re-start my publishing journey. I closed my photography business that I ran for 10 years and started a career in social media marketing, and I've learned so much working for other clients. I've been doing that for about nine months now. I'm so ready to throw my skills at my own project.

i think Jensee Reads on youtube would love to receive your book!! overall a very positive and joyful creator who loves all kinds of romances! can´t speak for them ofc but i just have a feeling that they would love to promote and read the book <3

I always look forward to these vlogs and seeing your progress! 💕 I just finished the fourth draft of my book so I’m super in the mood for this!

Haley Pham is one of my fav book tubers. I will always take her recs

I know this might seem strange but is this book LGBTQ+? I'm just asking cause most people clarify using boy best friend, but you didn't. I'm not homophobic id actually prefer it. (I love the way LGBTQ+ books are written.)

I’m loving watching these videos daily and do love the new thumbnails! Very eye catching

These daily vlogs have been fun to watch each day when I take a break from my own writing work. Right now, I have had no time to actually write or get things done for my author life, as I am not full-time. However, I have grown things enough that it is not part-time now either. I am stretched thin and trying to make it work for now. I am excited for Camp NaNoWriMo July to finish drafting my dragon/ enemies-to-lovers fantasy, Trial of Flame and Wings. ✌

Thank you for your thoughts on breaking away from “I did good, I did bad” My ARCs just went out and they are overwhelmingly positive. The criticisms have stuck to me like tar, it’s so disarming and your perspective REALLY helped

I came to your channel just before you started these vlogs and realised later on I've read some of your books and loved them, so happy to have found you on CZcams!

I appreciate you offering both covers for paperback. I love Elsie Silver’s people cover for her new book, but I’m not an electronic reader. And I hate the discrete cover. And I recommend LarryReads. Love her and she has a large CZcams and TikTok presence.

I have been enjoying this series! Thanks for taking us along for the ride. What is your process when outlining? Do you use any structures like Save the Cat storybeats, etc? Thank you! ❤ I don’t know if you’ve used the Threads app at all but the book community there is VERY positive and could be a nice place to vet influencers and maybe even start promoting your backlist. I see a lot of self-pub authors enjoying it there!

Don't worry about it! It was poorly worder and I confused myself while writing it😂 Not sure if her taste is small town, but I like how theladysparks does her promo posts.

Rachel Catherine is an Aussie youtuber that loves small town romance

Me too

Nah if my bestfriend did that id be pissed

Thanks for answering previous question re. book length! The reason I was asking (as questions for future vlog) 1. I've looked on Amazon for rough author royalties based on a word count of 100,000 words, & priced at, say $12. Calculator says that will work out as roughly 2 dollars in royalties per book sold for the author. Is this accurate? Do you have a video anywhere breaking down the royalties you get with your boos? If not, could you maybe use a Marionettes book as an example of royalties per physical copy? 2. Where did you get your assistant & would you ever make a video on the process of working with one? I am considering working with one. Finally, LOVING these frequent vlogs. Thank you <3

I am loving this series. It helping motivate me to write. I haven’t been able to write much over the last 2 months. My husband is allergic to his pacemaker and he had a hole at the surgical site for 2 months before they finally took it out. So we’ve been doing a lot of doctor visits, hospital stays, and we’ve had to drive to an allergy specialist over 2.5 hours away from where we live. Now that they took out his pacemaker, I can finally get back to writing but it was difficult to get in the grove again. This helped so much. Thank you. ❤

Loved seeing your problem solving process. I love getting to the point when I figure out how to fix something! I have a question about chapter lengths - do you tend to keep them similar lengths or mix it up? I just tend to use my gut feeling with chapters but not sure I’ve nailed it yet.

Love this!

OMG just started reading the anti- relationship and idk if I’m team Greyson or miller

It's always interesting when our characters call us to dig deeper within them when we don't expect to or want to because we're unsure. You got this. That happened to me with my 2nd main character in my current novel I'm working on. I'm glad you figured out the chapter crisis!

It's been so comforting seeing you every day.

For marketing would you suggest using a pr company when you're releasing the second book in a five book series? while also being a relatively new debut author? Love these videos by the way, really inspiring to get my second book done ☺

2-3 chapters a day is so doable! You got this girly!

Not sure if my comment posted so putting it again haha, you mentioned that your new series will have two versions of the covers- how does that work in terms of publishing? Will there be seperate listings? Will the alt covers be listed as “special editions”?

Here’s my q! You mentioned having two covers for the new series. How does that work in terms of publishing? Will they be listed seperately, will one be considered a special edition, etc etc

That’s one true friend 🤓☝️

Will you ever make your videos longer that 15-20?
