Let me know how you're doing and leave any questions you have down below!

[@sydrichey6600]

Crazy how your second book is almost done and you have the basis for your third and fourth book setup already look how time flies

[@DianeMariee]

It feels like I still have so much to do still but I’ve certainly come a long way. It’s very exciting!

[@awritingdai]

I think asking betas for potential comp titles is GENIUS! That is honestly one of the hardest non-writing aspects of book creation imo 😆 there is an art to comp titles that I have not mastered 😆

[@IHBooks]

Sounds like you’ve had a really cool career so far 😊 and the book feedback is icing on the cake. Stay gold 😊

[@DianeMariee]

Thank you!! Stay gold! 🙏🏻✨

[@briellewrites]

“The looming threat of Voldemort showing up and Avada kadavraing everyone” bahahahaha I’m dead

[@DianeMariee]

😂 I just finished my reread of Order of the Phoenix so it feels very real lol

[@GraceyDuprel]

I was just about to say this 😂

[@agingerwrites]

I think I would want to live in the world that The Phoenix Keeper takes place in. I just want all the magical creatures mentioned in that novel lol. I hope your reread & revision of Ben goes well! I'm so excited for Ben. :B

[@JoeyPaulOnline]

So glad that betas went well, and always nice to get feedback and know you're on the right track!

[@DianeMariee]

Yes!! The feedback has been so helpful! 🥰

[@jameswalker9248]

20:15 If I could live in any fictional world, I would live in the Pokemon world, specifically Ecruteak City. Ecruteak is based on Kyoto, Japan, which is on my bucket list of places to visit. In addition, Ecruteak has a lot of lore and history to it. Stay gold 🌟

[@RellyMoring]

I can’t wait for everyone to read Ben!

[@DianeMariee]

Me too!! 🥹💞

[@briellewrites]

YAY! Congrats on getting such great and positive feedback, that is amazing 💗💗

[@DianeMariee]

Thank you!! 🥹✨🙏🏻

[@johnwalker9098]

I want to put up my Christmas tree too, but it's plastic and my cats keep trying to chew it. And oh my god, Guillermo del Toro is one of my favorites, I'm so jealous. The question I was going to ask already got answered here (Ben's release), so instead I'll ask: Do you think you'll ever write a sequel or spin-off to Ben?

[@madelinemonaghan]

How do you print out your proof copies? I'm an "edit on a hard copy" kind of girl but I haven't found a good method of turning anything I write into a hard copy XD I would love to live in the Star Wars universe. Travel to different planets, have a laser sword, complete the Kessel run in 12 parsecs. Sounds like a great time!

[@ashleyrainbow8888]

hi, im a very new self publishing author my question is how do you go about getting beta readers

[@MADforSWU]

Where do you find beta readers who provide quality feedback?

[@DianeMariee]

I’ve been lucky enough to make some lovely friends in the writing community since joining KZbin, so they’re the ones I’ve turned to for alpha and beta readers!

[@girlypopgay]

I haven’t been here since the rats popped up… 😅

[@DianeMariee]

You have a lot to catch up on! 😂
