Thank you for sharing!! I just self published my debut novel The Markings. It came out last Friday and I had a decent launch since it was my first time! Love the idea of doing Hardcover releases of earlier books and adding exclusive chapters!!! I definitely want to do that when I release book two in the series. 👍🏼♥️

Number 7 happened to me!! I tested as an INFJ as a teenager and I had heaps of anxiety at the time. As a much mellowed adult, I tested as an INFP and it fits like a glove most days. I have big chaos energy though so there is a small chance I'm a quiet ENFP. Either way, finding my real type has given me a chance to work on my 3rd and 4th functions, and I have to say...somewhat reluctantly, life is better with Te.

Good luck! I’m curious about how the lockdown could impact indie book releases. I’ve heard some publishers are having paper shortages and things like that. Have there been delays in the self-pub community? Are you worried about shipping delays for proofs etc.? Do you think that Amazon’s deprioritization of shipping books could affect your sales? Looking forward to all of the exciting things to come!
@BethanyAtazadeh4 жыл бұрын
It's definitely impacted print publishing in a huge way. It took over a month for my order of author copies to arrive, shipping is obviously very delayed, but so is printing, so that has affected releases. However, ebook releases (for indie authors at least) don't seem to be affected at all (besides maybe a little longer review time) and especially during quarantine ebook sales went up! I expect that a lot of readers will shift to more ebooks until things level out. :) Thank you!

YAY! I totally haunt SCRAP, our local Portland recycler of Random Materials, and get big ol' pads of paper for just this paper. It's so SATISFYING to see it all on your own custom calendar, I agree. :D And your handwriting is great! The lines are endearing

Hello Bethany. Love your videos. I was watching your video on Draft 2 Digital. So you're saying that D2D has authors using KDP software to format the book and then the rest is their formatting??? Please clarify.

Hi, I am writing my 1st. children's book. The 1st. book has come out at 30pps (15 text & 15 illustrations). I would also like to do an audio book. I don't want to do the voice so where do I go to get someone at a reasonable price?. Also how & where do I market it and at what price?

Bethany, I seriously love watching your videos and yes I am a subscriber, but for this video I was hoping you shared WHAT you do not where you put your sticky notes. For instance, what exactly do you have to get done during those 90 days prior to release? Judy Prescott Marshall.

Might be too late (but actually never too late to release your audiobook!), I read my book with Audacity, which is free and upload it to Audible. I think “read by the author” covers over any mistakes ❤
