Mwahahahahahaha I'm a graphic designer and illustrator and I had a long career working on videogames. I guess I just saved 2500$ for the fancy cover 😁 Now I just need to actually finish writting the book 🫣 This video is gold!! Thank you!! ❤

Your usage of the phrase "weasel words" is completely wrong and misinforming people.

Curious how much of this is usually covered by a big six publisher with a new author that they really believe in. Would you say a $10,000 budget? Less? How much would they recommend the author do on their own? I've been published by an indie imprint and found 100% of the marketing costs and efforts came down to me.

I liked Jupiter Assending.

I have been waiting for this video... Worth every moment. Thank you!

How about: “Conveyor belt of the brainwashed”?

Ha! I described it as centipedes, but I didn’t elaborate on it. When I saw the answer, I about fell over!

Damn, I learnt so much new stuff that I didn't know before. You really are one of the best youtubers for authors frfr. Immense love and support from India. I hope I can meet you someday bcuz you're just so goddamn inspiring and motivating!! 🇮🇳💞✨

Missed opportunity with A Game of Thrones to explore how later books use creative titles like "The Turncloak" or "The blind girl" add mystery because you're curious to what character it is or how the title will play out. It also reveals how the character thinks of themselves. You mention ASOIAF frequently but tend to miss out on many aspects I've noticed so trying to add more info here.

Awesome, in the game development industry, people also don't spare money on cover art and marketing for the game, good cover sells

All ads are spam :)

Is there a metric like this for protagonists?

My banes are hedging with "even" and "just"

I’m not listening to anything you say after using one of the guys that ruined GOT as an example.

If someone is published traditionally can they still do these things? Would the publisher do them for you? Would you need permission from your publisher to do some of these?

Hello. How much would you charge me for posting a video on this channel reviewing a 10 pages story? Thank you!

Great stuff!

ResultSource is the censored San Diego company in case anyone wondered

I'd love to see a video about book tours and launches

Great video! ARCs are my favourites

Excellent bookfox!

I have the, haven't thought about how much I have for years, ammount 😁

Excellent tips. How do you suggest going about spending $2500 on a book cover? Where does one do that?

Now all I have to do is come up with a million dollars.

I've completed (mostly, still one course that is relevant to go) Bookfox academy. It might be the single best investment I've made in my young writing career. I highly recommend. (this is unsolicited) Of course a lot of the stuff John gives away for free on RUclips, but for the money, to have it organized without having to go find it has been well worth the price.

Very good video. Could you talk about other people's books you helped elevate in marketing? Something with 25,000 reviews at least on goodreads.

Amazing. I learned a lot of new things by watching this video. Thank You, Sir.

I wish someone does this for RUclips videos

What a smart title! Good luck i wish it goes viral

You just posted this and I know it. (I'm not here for the content)

I am Huzaifa and I' am playing for a Futbol' academy my Nationality is Spain and pray for me that I would qualify for playing for Spain national U-20 Futbol' if I qualifies I will be playing in Spanish U-20 national nation's league after that I will be selected for the Spanish national team And after sometime I will be playing for Real Madrid. I am not sure that it will really happen in real life situations but if you all raise your all voices and give me some support/supplies than I will be able to play for these teams. Thanks for your support I have came to a signpost and I am giving Signature and immediately just a moment later I have qualified for Spanish national U-20 national nation's league but sadly the coach Saying signing you cost us nothing "You are 17 years old," you should not be here but it happened again and again everyday was the same but one day it happened when I was playing a match for Spanish national team when I scored a brace my coach was so happy that he even maded me the team captain and he bought the captain arm band for me so that I could wear it I was so happy. Afterwards when my coach was interested in interviewing He was asked by the commentator that what do you think about this 17 years old my coach said he scores brace a hatrick or either a poker he said no one is even close to and he said I am so glad for seeing him in This life situations it was so unreal that no one will believe. My Coach exclaimed.

This sounds like a list of attributes, and you list some good examples, but all those examples are done in service to the plot. These attributes alone won't add to the character, if those attributes ultimately don't add anything

“Point of views?” Shouldn’t it be “points of view?”

It might have been helpful to discuss the adverb.

Hogwash. Blocked!

My favorite example of the first one is still Gibson's "The sky above the port..." line from Neuromancer because of how it changes the opening setting of the book depending on what generation you grew up in.

It never once occurred to me that "write drunk" meant actually drunk. Does anybody actually think that?

There is a big difference between the author trying to be funny or the author trying to make a character say or do funny things. I try to write realistic stories (at least as realistic as it can be in the world I built), and this rules out any type of absurd humor like e.g. in Hitchhiker's Guide or the Airplane! movie and limits humor mostly to dialogue.

I think writing in present tense is normal/more common in certain genres. If you write YA or New Adult, a lot of those readers prefer present tense.

@7:57 one thing I would suggest in this instance would be instead the "therefore"/"but" method where you can transition easier from the previous action into the next... just my thoughts, please continue...

1:55 He thought the punishment was just.

2. Is pretty much how One Piece is 1000+ chapters long. Oda kept having ideas and cramming into the manga lol

you know what else is crazy?

I like it when you tell me to do what I'm already doing -- I realize that's not really why I should listen...probably a sign that one of us is doing this wrong...but I still like it. 😂

my good man, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, I am doing a certain experiment in which I had already written a book with little knowledge on this subject, and a second book acquiring as much knowledge as possible, and thanks to your video and tips I feel like I'm going to do a great job

I just want to thank you, bro. I sent a manuscript to a publisher a few days ago and I’ve been a nervous wreck. Your videos have been helping me through the anxiety.

This is a useless comment but Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary is the best book I have ever read, even to this day (I read it as soon as it was released). Definitely worth a read

I don't use suddenly but sometimes as a reader I wish it was there because I may gloss over that sudden moment of action and not notice until I hit the next paragraph. Suddenly is a marker in that situation, kind of like a dialog tag, letting readers know something important just happened.

I'm sure 'said' goes without saying. With the exception of in dialogue. I've cringed reading published authors who used it as punctuation after each line of dialogue. Give me a descriptive verb. Whispered, stuttered, shouted, screamed, spat.

come on. we can't delete that. how would charli say bumpin that? bumpin?
