WATCH ME SELL MY BOOK! //VLOG P2

[@esthermarieandujar]

Kristen gift was so thoughtful!!! She is such a sweetheart! I love these videos documenting the entire process!! Again, thank you for being so transparent about your journey. I’m so happy for you!!!

[@LindsayPuckett]

ahhh thank you so much, Esther!!!!

[@Laurapoet33]

Lindsaaaayyyy I think I've binge watched all of your videos at this point, and it is SO inspiring to watch your dreams come true!! As an aspiring author I know I'll be coming back to these videos when I inevitably hit low points in the query trenches (a place I am not even CLOSE to being, but baby steps!). Thank you for sharing your journey and for being such a positive light in this community! YOU FREAKING DID IT!!!

[@LindsayPuckett]

ahhhh thank you so much, Laura!!!!

[@libraryofadventures7800]

I don’t like being on camera but seeing your video kind of makes me want to record my journey too! At least on the day I got a book deal till I signed the contract maybe? Thank you again for sharing your journey with us, it’s so inspiring!❤️🥳

[@LindsayPuckett]

Thank YOU so much! And you don't have to share the footage with anyone if you aren't comfortable with that. Just keep it for yourself, and maybe close relationships if you want. You will all appreciate it in the future

[@RellyMoring]

Isn’t that just the way of chronic illness? Always sneaking in on the wooooorst possible day. Glad you were still able to enjoy the process! Thanks for sharing it.

[@LindsayPuckett]

Thank you, laurel! And yes, they love to sneak up on us lol

[@KristenLeatherman]

Ahh! So glad you love the sweatshirt. I’m def going to get another one for myself for when TGW releases 🧡 I’m so happy that you have documented this entire process, it’s been so fun to cheer you on and see all your hard work accumulate to a whole ass scholastic book deal.

[@LindsayPuckett]

haha Kristen I love it so much! It's AMAZING. You are The Best!

[@ThatGirlChelee]

I just discovered Michelle’s channel a little over a week ago and have been watching all over old videos. So good!

[@LindsayPuckett]

She's amazing! One of my favorite authortubers!

[@AuthorAKLim]

Hey Lindsay, new(ish) subscriber here! I'm so glad to have found your channel 😊 I am UNBELIEVABLY excited for you!!!! As a person with a background in education, it warms my heart SO MUCH to think about kids getting the chance to read what by all accounts seems to be an AMAZING book. Teachers are always looking for books that are fun, heartwarming, and make their students feel seen and heard. From hearing about this process so far, I have a sneaking suspicion your book will be on many'a English teacher's bookshelf 🥰. As a writer, I'm also SO grateful to you for showing so much of this process--the tradpub industry feels so opaque sometimes so having somebody really document the entire process is such a delight. Congrats again!!

[@LindsayPuckett]

Wow, thank you so much, Aly!!! This all means so much

[@venuslucy7067]

These two vlogs made me so indescribably happy!!! Congrats Lindsay you so deserve that!! (and SCHOLASTIC?!!!!! my childhood was mainly scholastic books!!!)

[@LindsayPuckett]

I know right?! Same! And thank you so much glad you enjoyed! :)

[@MichelleSchustermanAuthor]

Finally catching up on this series and omg. Am I crying from emotions or laughter from this brilliant video editing??? 😂😂😂😂This was SO fun to watch and holy crap, I'm so excited about everything that's to come for you!

[@LindsayPuckett]

Thank you, Michelle! For everything!

[@BarrettLaurie]

This gave me all the happy feels. As someone with chronic illness, I felt you on the surprise pain on a stressful day. I appreciate your willingness to share your journey. It has kept me writing and going! So excited for you. Cannot wait to get my hands on The Glass Witch and continue to cheer you on. Sending you rainbows, unicorns and all the good vibes. 💜💯

[@PrinceShakurYoutube]

Thank you for posting this and for your words at the beginning. I'm post-agent after 6 months of submissions and trying to find a new agent for my book while finishing another novel. Trying to love the process of writing and have patience for the rest but IT IS HARD

How do you keep track of videos from months ago? Like, where do you put these clips in the meantime? How do you organize your vlogs? I love your long vlogs that show the whole journey but I feel like i lose track of clips I've filmed just days ago sometimes...
