Weekly videos on the business of being an author and making an income as a creative entrepreneur.
Mandi Lynn published her first novel when she was seventeen. The author of Essence, I am Mercy and She’s Not Here, Mandi spends her days continuing to write and creating YouTube videos to help other writers achieve their dreams of seeing their books published. Mandi is the owner of Stone Ridge Books, a company that works to help authors bring their books to life through cover design and book formatting. She is also the creator of The Book Launch Planner, a planner designed to help authors publish and market their books. When she’s not creating, you can find Mandi exploring her backyard or getting lost in the woods.

I’d like to think the lie is pretty obvious. And if you’re my husband reading this post right now…well…sorry 😅
Anways, we’re counting down until Project Italy hits 75 followers on Kickstarter! Once we hit that follower goal, I’ll be revealing the official title for my closed-door billionaire fake dating romance!

✨ What is Kickstarter? ✨
Think of Kickstarter as a fun way of doing book pre-orders! Indie authors are often limited in the type of books they can print. If we want to do special editions, we have to invest a lot of money to do so, so Kickstarter allows us to crowdfund to create amazing editions of books!
✨ How it works ✨
1. An author creates a pre-launch page
2. Readers follow if they're interested
3. When the project launches, readers are notified the book is available to purchase
4. Readers pay when the campaign ends and is successfully funded. Readers are not charged if the funding goal isn't reached.
5. The author uses funds to print the special editions.
6. Readers get their books!

This is my last mom-related video, but I wanted to share some things that I did to have a positive postpartum experience after having a very hard postpartum with my daughter. This is a video I wish I had when I was a new mom who was struggling. I hope sharing my story helps someone.

In case you missed it, I’ll be doing a new series on YouTube where I design book covers based off of concepts and ideas you all vote on. Before I can create the first survey, I need to decide what genre it should be, so let’s put it to a vote! What genre cover do you want to see me design?

I want to do a new series on YouTube where I design a book cover but YOU pick the design. I’m going to let subscribers vote on design concepts, fonts, colors, and use that as a guide to design a cover with you guys. I’m trying to think of a name for the series, but can’t think on one I like. Any ideas? 😅

It’s been months in the making, but I finally sent my first draft to beta readers. In this video, I’m sharing what it’s like sending your novel to beta readers for the first time—along with all the nerves, doubts, and “what have I done” moments that come with it. If you’re a writer working on your first draft or getting ready for feedback, you’re not alone in feeling this way.

As you all know, I typically make videos on self-publishing and writing, but a few of you expressed interest in my birth story, so I wanted to share! I think it’s so important to share positive birth stories and can be very helpful for moms to be. I had a water birth for both my kids, but the way the births went couldn’t have been more different.

Project Italy is officially in the hands of its girt set of readers and I’m nervous 😅
But this means we’re one step closer to this book being released!
Right now I’m counting down to revealing the official title! But before the title can be revealed, the Kickstarter needs to reach 75 followers! Help us reach that goal by following the Kickstarter or sharing this post!
