It's so wonderful how much love there is in the community 😊 I'm a sucker for small channels because it feels really rewarding to get to be part of the journey hehe

[@lynndjung]

It's truly one of my favorite things

[@beccatobar]

The screech that left my mouth when i got this notification! Coming from you, the person that inspired me to start writing again and to start documenting it, this means so much to me. Thank you 🥹 this is such a wonderful concept and such a sweet way to reflect on 20k. Hearing you talk about me also makes me realize i should probably share a little bit more about me and my work lolol Some authortubers i love are @mikwrites and @jaswriting! Congrats on all your success, Lynn! can't wait till project moths is in my hands one day

[@lynndjung]

AHH Becca that is so sweet and meaningful to hear. your content is fantastic and i would love to hear more about you through your videos, but also i'm down to connect whenever

[@rachelwritesbooks]

Ahhh Lynn! Thank you for the shout out 🥹 and happy birthday!!! Also such a specific thing to say but I loveeeeee the colours in this vid. Not sure if you grade your footage but it looks soooo good!

[@lynndjung]

Thank you rachel!! hehe I did grade it a little bit to bring out the cool tones, thank you for noticing

[@ToeMuncher-xs4vs]

Off topic but you really helped me with writing. Just pushing past my self-doubt. So thank you so much for helping me!

[@jaswriting]

I love the authortube community so much. I feel so at home here. We love to share our unapologetic selves and our writing journeys and we all bond through our shared writing experience. Love it! Congrats on reaching 20k and happy birthday 🎉🎉 woot woot!

[@lynndjung]

i 100% agree, and thank you so much!!

[@selenetorres3242]

@mikwrites is someone I'm enormously grateful of being part of the author tube community. She is so real and talks about the difficulties of time management and she loves analyzing stories and plots. Her current writing project sounds so interesting and engaging and it's fascinating to see the writing process of another writer.

[@CodyTheWriter]

Omg Lynn!! Thank you so much for the shout out! ❤️ I have been following you for the past few months and love your content! Thank you for using your platform to share the love with other creators! You are such an inspiration! ☺️

[@lynndjung]

Aww, thank you and of course!! Your videos are such a delight, can't wait to see more of them

[@bttmofthebrrlstudios]

Happy birthday and congratulations!!! 🎉

[@lynndjung]

tysm!!

[@kenziedegall]

Congrats on 20k and happy birthday!! This is a great list, I’m on my way to watch some new authortubers! ☺️

[@kelleyiswriting]

Omg Lynn I’m so bad at taking compliments. NOT A PARASOCIAL RELATIONSHIP hehehe I can’t wait for our writing retreat maybe next spring?? :))❤ congrats on 20k I wouldn’t be here without you seriously 🥹

[@IHBooks]

Congrats on 20k and happy birthday!!! And yes, all of those listed are amazing people, with a wealth of knowledge.

[@carmenbarefieldwrites]

Congratulations and happy birthday! 🎉🎉🎉 I just started / joined authortube. This list is so inspiring and if I'm not already subscribed to these folks I will be soon lol

[@lynndjung]

ahh, welcome to authortube and thank you!! brb running over to subscribe 🏃

[@personal.hannie]

you reaching 20k subs as i reached 22k words at 22:00 pm into my first draft???? ooofttttt the stars are aligned and the angels are singing

[@AmsNl2BcnEs]

Such a great video 😊

[@zarathebookgirl]

Happy Birthday, @mikwrites and yourself have helped me immensely on my writing journey. Thank you for your work!

[@lynndjung]

Thank you for the recommendation and the kind words!!

[@mikwrites]

Happy Birthday 🎉 and congratulations on 20k!!!!!!! You, Kris and Rachel Writes have been a constant rotation in my authortube viewing for years now (i cant believe for you it’s already been 4)! What an amazing idea to showcase all the wonderful people that make authortube so great. I found a few new names from these reccs and it’s so lovely to see some of my friends! 💗 Some other authortubers I absolutely adore are @jaswriting @tiaratalkswriting @geenahreads @ldjwrites @caitlinthewriter

[@lynndjung]

Thank you Mik, for both the kind words and the recommendations :) your videos are so fabulous as well, i desperately need to dive into them more!!

[@ChancellorMarko]

Thankful to the authortube community, not only for the great advice, but for the motivation too🙏 Congrats and Happy Birthday 🎉

[@Amaiguri]

I just started this video but I scrolled down and WHOA! It's so cool seeing so many people I look up to in the comments! I'm authortube adjacent -- I'm more of a worldbuilding KZbinr and I write for video games instead of for books. But I always am so inspired by the work that other writers are doing, and I love authortube! :D Hype hype!

[@AdamFishkin]

Yes, more subscribers for our awesome friend Kris! Additionally, tis true that Brielle and Ande bring the key vibes. Furthermore, ANNA ROBBINS. YES. Let me think who else ............ Sarah Sutton is a self-published author with 6220 subscribers on here and that feels weirdly low with the way she pumps out entries in her rom-com series like a veteran master of literary business, while also being very humble about her frustrations and anxiety in staying on schedule. This reminds me to get caught up on her videos, since I'm roughly a year behind. Bree Buonomo has 1190 subscribers and brings a more down-to-earth approach in her content. She emphasizes the balance she pursues between her writing and her personal life, which as she points out can be an extreme challenge for us in these dark times. She's also a licensed social worker, and she therefore brings a keener, very empathetic insight into the human touches involved with storytelling. A user who goes by "kathryn's library" has just started on the author side of things after content for booktube (from which she carries 1210 subscribers) and I was very intrigued by her train of thought during her initial vlog.

[@AndreaJSeverson]

Such a cool list! I'm a self-published/indie author, living in Arizona (not Canada lol). I'm also a vlogger/Authortuber and I make cozy vlogs about my life as a writer and writing instructor at a university. This video was recommended to me and I'm glad I watched. I've subscribed, your querying videos look interesting, I'm considering going through that process for one of my unpublished manuscripts. Off to check out the creators you've linked for this video!

[@redherringoffshoot2341]

for Authortubers, I advise that you check out Quinn's Ideas(since he's quite the interesting sci-fi and fantasy writer, beyond him being an essayist), ana neu, Natalie Jane Shields, and Hannah Lee Kidder

[@KaitlinRochelleCreative]

Omg, thank you SO much for posting this video! I love all the recs! It's also really fun to see people I recognize :)

[@LaloMacKenzie]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYNN!! I hope to get the chance to hear your insights on my own work one day! 🤞🏽🪩✨💖🎂🎈

[@lynndjung]

thank you so much!! i hope to work with you also!!

[@mhjmakes3631]

First thing's first -rest in peace, Uncle Phil- (sorry, I had to) Happy Birthday! And congrats on hitting 20,000. (Although, it seems that you've already gained another 2,000 since you recorded this. 30K's going to be here soooo soon at this rate. Hitting the big leagues!!) If I could make a recommendation for a channel that I really admire, it would be Megan Brush (Also from Canada. 🥴) I'd classify her as a "Vibes & Vlogs" channel. I've been watching her stuff for I think close to a year now, and her vlogs are so cozy, and she's so inspiring. Can't recommend her enough.

[@AnnaRobbinsWrites]

Yes I second this so much!! Love Megan in every way ✨

[@DianeMariee]

I love this video! I’ve been thinking about doing something similar as well. I recently found and started following a lot of these channels, thank you for sharing! 🥹🙏🏻💕(also love how many of these channels are based in Canada 🫶🏻✨💕) ALSO, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

[@CatTubeVideosOfficial]

We need Abbie. She is my most fav author tuber 🥹

[@scarlettdownsiswriting]

Authortube is my favourite community on YT everyone is just so nice! I stopped uploading for a while but I'm hopefully gonna start uploading again since my school is a bit less work rn

[@lynndjung]

Same here, and I hope you get to uploading again soon!!

[@Ebony.B]

Happy birthday and congrats on 20k! 🥳💕

[@lynndjung]

thank you!!

[@nenyeo6090]

Happy Birthday🖤 and I knew some of them already. Thanks for the ones I didn’t know. I’ll check them out.

[@Lara_Ameen]

This is wonderful, Lynn! Congratulations on 20K subscribers! That’s absolutely amazing! Also, Happy Birthday! I didn’t realize it was your birthday! I hope you had a wonderful day! You deserve it! 🥳🎉 I love following RachelWrites, Liselle Sambury, Lindsay Puckett, Kelley Tai, Kris MF, and more, but I was also able to add a few more to my list to watch thanks to your list! 🥰 I would recommend Kayla Kempers who I believe is pursuing self-publishing and has a self-published poetry collection out. I also beta read her YA fantasy novel a few months ago. I’d also like to recommend my friend Jasmine Skye! She’s a traditionally published and agented YA author. She hasn’t posted videos in a while, but I recommend watching her older ones. We met on AuthorTube and now I’m going to be a sensitivity reader for her sequel! We also just met in person 2 weeks ago for the first time! Love her content! Would also recommend Wallisimo whose witchy Halloween traditionally published Adult fantasy debut, A DARK AND SECRET MAGIC, comes out on Tuesday! 🥳 And KatieAnnWrites! Her traditionally published Adult romance comes out next year and her vlogs are so fun!

[@jesseheymann3295]

Congrats on 22k❤ love the cozy chats

[@CaeliFaye]

happy birthday🥳🎉 thank you for this list! you helped me find some amazing creators

[@lynndjung]

girl this comment helped me find you and i'm so happy about it!! i'm already in love with the style of your videos

[@CaeliFaye]

@@lynndjung ahhh thank you so much! I'm a long-time subscriber and seeing your growth as both a writer and KZbinr inspires me💕

[@AshDaniWrites]

Happy birthday 🎉 thanks for sharing these amazing authortubers with us!

[@hasanwallah7015]

Happy Birthday Beautiful !

[@lynndjung]

Thank you so much Hasan!

[@sproutswithjoy]

Thank you so much for this list! I was already following a few, but I subscribed to the rest 🫶 Reading and writing are vital to me and I have loved watching these kinds of videos, so if I’m being honest, I’ve been itching to start an authortube. I’m just concerned that it wouldn’t be sustainable for me since I already have a channel about houseplants that I’m trying to maintain on top of busy life 😅 but alas. Maybe one of these days I’ll just do it.

[@isabellajuanitalyn]

This is so cute! So excited to check out some new creators!

[@Amy_Mi6]

Not a new channel but Abbie Emmons has an amazing channel where she talks about craft and self-publishing a lot as she and her sister Kate are both self-published authors 🤗💜

[@JemyRaeBooks]

Happy birthday and congrats on 20k subscribers!! This was such a sweet video and I'm happy that I have already subscribed to a lot of these amazing authortubers and am excited to know about more! I just recently joined the community and it has filled me with so much inspiration for my debut novel. I am so glad I found you and I wish you all the best on your publishing journey! You're killing it!! :)

[@tiongenakazwe]

Happy birthday 🎉🎂🎈

[@the-comments-poet]

Before the end I’ve scattered breadcrumbs around On this road called life For one day to find my way Before the end finds me But in the end It is you that found me

[@TheKoffeeVerse]

Thanks for all the recommendations! I'm trying to build my authortube channel and I am looking for like minded people to follow!.

[@moshecallen]

One of the first authortubers I found was Ellen Brock. I am still impressed with her content.

[@lynndjung]

Ellen's content is fantastic (so useful!) but my intention for this video was to feature smaller/newer creators :)

[@authorsalome]

Thank you so much for the recommendations!

[@lynndjung]

Of course!! Enjoy!

[@sproutswithjoy]

oh, and happy birthday!! 💕

[@EmmaBennetAuthor]

What a lovely thing to do!

[@jennlimwrites]

Lynn, just noticing you tagged me into your post 🥹 thank you for your confidence and support ❤

[@lynndjung]

of course, I'm happy to direct more people toward your lovely channel if i can

[@FairytaleFangirl]

I would also suggest Jane Kalmes, if you're a mystery, especially cosy mystery, writer. She has such great videos, good at explaining things, has a bunch of simple principles, good examples and is CRIMINALLY underrated. Also, most of her videos are fairly short and to the point, so if you don't want to watch someone waffle on for ages before getting to the point, check out Jane Kalmes. Please. She's fantastic. Also, if you're a fantasy writer (or sci-fi), check out Jed Herne. Similarly to Jane Kalmes, has many simple principals and good examples. Honestly, pretty much everything I've written about Jane applies to Jed as well, but for fantasy. He is a much larger KZbinr (about 100k subscribers), but he's really really good as well.

[@VickiSirek]

I'm here to full-on recommend Meredith E. Phillips because her videos are so relaxing and fun! She's a regency romance writer who is pursuing traditional publishing. It honestly feels like you're catching up with a friend when watching her vlogs! :)

[@LindsayPuckett]

ooh congrats on 22!? K subs?! Omg! So well deserved.

[@lynndjung]

AHH thank you so much Lindsay!! I was literally watching your pub trends video this morning, I cannot overstate how much I love your videos!!

[@TiaraTalksWriting]

Ahh i love this video, i follow most of them already but it’s been so cool to have watched this community grow and change over the past few years. i love seeing everyones writing journeys including yours!!! Congrats on 20k,,Also do we have the same birthday 👀 Libras rise

[@lynndjung]

I agree, it's been so wonderful to see. Thank you so much, and YES Libras foreverr

[@MrRosebeing]

Not a huge fan of authortubers if I'm totally honest, but happy birthday and congrats, and all that. Happy authortubing.

[@DearReader_itsme_Ali]

My favorite self published author on KZbin is Emily McCosh if you'd like to learn more, she dives deep into Kickstarter campaigns as an option Loved this video

[@hpbecraft]

🥱

[@kiwifruitkl]

I knew most of them already, lol.

[@erikaromerowrites]

For vibes and vlogs, I recommend @MeredithPhillipsWrites. She writes historical romance and has such a great personality on camera.

[@lynndjung]

Thank you for the recommendation!!

[@AnnaRobbinsWrites]

Lynn! oh my gosh! so thankful for the shout out wow 🥹 You're such a bright light in this community, the thought of you watching even one of my videos has me mad blushing rn!! 🤯 Can't wait to keep following your journey 🧡

[@lynndjung]

Of course, Anna!! I'm excited to continue following yours as well
