    Loved the interview, great to see what Kova's experience has been like. You asked a lot of great insightful questions.
    I will say, your volume was louder than hers and made a lot of your engaged noises (yes, ok, right, giggles) distracting.
    Looking forward to future interviews!

    Gosh, so many great gems in this video, Bethany! Elise is so wise with a plethora of valuable info.
    That tip on "parking" your social media in case further down the road, you decide to use it, that's a genius strategy!
    This interview really lit a fire under me :-)

    Very good discussion! Elise is more down to earth than I expected, and he rise to fame is quite the underdog story! I'll take inspiration from it. I'm looking to indie publish my YA sci-fantasy series soon, and I definitely intend to be hands-on and "warm" in as much of my early marketing as possible for my sci-fantasy series.

  • @wysteriafox2977
    @wysteriafox2977 Před rokem +3

    Honestly this is more of a generic interview than anything thats meaningful and helpful to the audience. Lots of "i dont know this cluster of things worked for me" "just do it" kind of vibe. And then the person youre speaking to has "coaching packages " kind of suspicious. I like your content normally but this was a big miss for me. And i would surmise most people looking for actionable tips from an established indie author

    • @BethanyAtazadeh
      @BethanyAtazadeh  Před rokem +1

      That’s interesting you got that impression because I learned dozens of helpful things during this chat even as a seasoned author.
