This was my first book signing back after maternity leave...and it did not go as planned. Lucky for you guys, I happened to be vlogging during all the chaos. Stick around to see how many books I ended up selling at the end of the day.

It's time to design another book cover together! This time we'll be designing a romance book cover, but before I can do that, I need YOU to fill out this survey: s.surveyplanet.com/5dq997st
I'll be using the survey results to design another book cover here on YouTube in the next episode of "Subscribers Control My Book Cover Design"
Watch the previous episode to see how it works: https://youtu.be/nupzWFUJJOQ

Beta reader feedback for my upcoming novel, Revenge in Rome, is in! Which means it’s time to sort through the feedback and start to edit. There was so much feedback this time around that I wanted to sort through it all and organize it a little better before I got started. In this video, I’ll show you how I organized the feedback chapter by chapter using my favorite writing software, Campfire.

My books haven’t been selling, so I’ve been working to redo my social media book marketing strategy. The first step was to start posting on social media every day. The second step was to redo my book’s blurbs, back matter, and sales pages. Now we’re moving on to step three, which is to write new hooks for social media. But I took it a step further than that, and I’m also putting these hooks into a database for myself to make posting to social media easier. Join me today to get a little tour of my database and see how I’m adding new hooks and book pitches.

My pen name books haven’t been selling, so I’ve been doing a social media experiment to get more book sales. In the last episode of this video series, I posted every day for 30 days, and well…things didn’t go as well as I wanted them to. So today I’m going back to the basics to take another look at my books to make sure they’re ready to make the sale. I’m going to be updating book blurbs, back covers, end matter, and even the sales pages of the books themselves to make sure they convert curious readers to buyers.

Welcome to a new YouTube series where I let subscribers design my book covers. Every month, I’ll be sending out a survey letting you pick different elements of a book cover. You pick the genre, concept, colors, fonts, and even the title of the book. Then using those survey results, I sit down to challenge myself to design a book cover from scratch. This month, you guys wanted me to design a fantasy book cover, and when it came to the overall concept, you guys didn’t give me the easy way out. In almost every survey question, the option you chose was my least favorite. But that was the point of this series: to challenge me as a designer. So let’s see how this month’s cover design came out.
