[@jessk7240]

Printing it like that is SUCH a good idea. I am definitely doing this. I'm sure there are changes and errors that I'll see in that format that I never would otherwise. Can't wait to do this! Also, very much looking forward to reading this when you get your publishing deal!

You are stunning! I love your hair! I’m a young “writer”, (12) and I wrote around 3 books that were 10-20 pages, I never released them. I’m currently trying to write an actual book, I’m at 5k words so far at chapter 2. Your videos inspire me!

[@Marithyst]

Heyyy! Best of luck to you on your book! It’s amazing that you’re starting so young and I’m sure that you’ll become a successful writer in the future !

I also printed my draft to have just for myself and it was way cooler than I thought to hold my writing in book form! Congrats 🥳

So glad I found this video. I printed my draft from Reedsy and the print was tiny and I had to punch the pages and create my own disc bound notebook. I'll definitely do this

[@authorEE_ESE]

First, it's a gorgeous cover! It would fit perfectly among other books in the same genre! Second, LuLu has great quality printing! I printed a few drafts through them; I am prepping 3 more projects to print in November. I hope I can do that ASAP!

[@togpiefan3472]

You inspire me to write myself!

[@sincerelyvee]

aw i’m so glad i could inspire you!!

[@storiesbydesirae]

Yes. It's so fun printing my book in book format. I'm glad you got to experience it. I'm sorry KDP doesn't ship it to you. I never knew that was only US. But yeah, Lulu is good too. I created a draft children's book with them and really liked their hardcovers. Also, i think you did well with creating a cover that's straight to the point of your novel as a draft. I struggle with my draft covers. Wishing you well with school!

[@chokachoka1134]

The cover is lowkey cute! You can probably comm artists to make your cover if thats what you're looking for. But ofc it depends on your budget

[@sincerelyvee]

haha thank you so much!! i’m not planning on self-publishing (ofc this could always change) so wouldn’t be necessary (but could be fun!)

[@eugeniamoore3459]

Cute cover! 😃

[@Monica.monroee]

This was actually cool to watch , I should do this for my memoir . So I could know what it feel like to have my own book . ❤

I've been using Lulu and it's so exciting to see in book form!

it is!! i’ll definitely be using lulu again!

[@carolinesromancereads]

I've been watching your videos for a while and wanted to say hi! This is my first year ever doing NaNoWriMo and I'm filming a video for it, I'm super excited about my project - I have another passion project as well that I'm trying to finish in any spare time I have because it's taken me like 6 years to write and I feel like I can see the end in sight which is so exciting but so sad at the same time! I think after I finish my projects I'm definitely going to print them out even if it's just like with a regular printer because I haven't done that for a project in a LONG time! I love your videos!

[@birdfl00f-yt]

This is so cool omg! I wrote a novel and it's for sale, but the cover was drawn by me and my art style is realistic and honestly not good for my book. I love your book cover so much!!!

[@TaihaLee]

Love this idea of printing a 2nd draft copy! I wonder why you couldn't get it shipped from KDP, though? I'm in Canada and I get mine printed through Amazon pre launch date.

[@oneeyewitch]

Hi Vee I just checked out your channel i was just wondering When did you start writing this book and how long did it take?

[@sydrichey6600]

Just wondering have you started querying your books like all of the W.I.P.s just to see what can happen since you already have 3 books in the works

[@sincerelyvee]

i haven’t. querying requires a lot of prep (polished querying letter, synopsis, etc.) that i don’t want to waste time doing if not for a wip that i think is ready!

[@mysticheathentarot]

I’m in love with the cover, ahhh! I’m happy for you. I honestly can’t wait to finish my drafts to order a proof for myself. By chance who did you use on fiverr for alpha reading your book? Did you also use canvas or adobe to make the cover?

[@sincerelyvee]

omg thank you!!😊 gennifer was my alpha reader :) and i used canva!!

nice, congrats

[@sha.the.writer]

What is the link for Lu Lu printing?

[@feelslikellie]

heyy fellow writer here looking for some advice I've sent my draft to a alpha reader on fiverr and I'm wondering if i should send it to two alpha readers at once or wait until i get feedback, revise, and then send it to another. I went into it thinking I was sending it to both, but got told that i should do it one by one, so I've sent it to the alpha reader who I preferred less than the one I wasn't able to send it to yet. What should I do?

[@kellykathalia]

how did u bind it may i ask

[@Marithyst]

Hey, Vee! Another aspiring author typing here. Question, how were you able to print out the paperback books? I’m currently doing research about the composition of books in general and there are a ton of more things that I know that I need to gain knowledge on. If you could reply to this comment , I would appreciate it! And nice work so far!

[@sincerelyvee]

hey! i printed it through a website called lulu press! there are tons of youtube videos on how to do so if you want more information :)

[@Marithyst]

@ okay, awesome! Thank you !

[@AdamFishkin]

New book smell. The chaos of life ramping up during September and October strikes me as human society's troll move. Autumn should be for stepping back and reflecting, shouldn't it? Anyhow, enjoy final semester.

[@cavtae]

Hi, Vee. Nice to meet you! Well, I'm one of you subscribers now and I want to share that I decided to write a fictional story and post it on Wattpad. What I mean by this is one day I become fluent at English language and post it in English as well. Love English language and the stories are so beautifully written! (Sorry if I made mistakes writing this comment)
