    The soundquality could have been improved for this video. Get closer to the microphone in a room with less echo.

    It would be very interesting if you did a video more about how you self published or the actual process of sending manuscripts into publishers or things like that.

    Also. Did not expect Taran to sound like that LOL.

    Okay for starters that was great, I love the casual convo format and would love to see more like it in the future. Second, omg, I was sweating just listening to Taran's description of two sets of edits and copyedits. Just one was overwhelming, that sounds like a legitimate nightmare. 😱

    @aspiringauthorerinrail2890 4 года назад

    I loved this video, so much! It is so informative! I totally get the whole title change thing, because when I went to a writing conference a few years ago, I went in with an original title for my work, but the editor, didn't like it, and told me to come back with more options (it was a four day conference), I went back to where I was staying, and I told my mom about it, and her godmother (we were staying with her godmother) and they both liked it (I thought they might have been a little biased lol), so I went back to the conference the next day, and told them some other tittles, I didn't get the exact reaction that I wanted, he just nodded. It was worth it, because I got a publisher request (different editor than the one that was running it, they were friends lol), now I'm looking for an agent lol.

      I am sure some authors do once they hit a certain level. I don't think Nora Roberts has other people naming her books. She'll get there 1 day.

    • @aspiringauthorerinrail2890
      @aspiringauthorerinrail2890 4 года назад +3

      Actually, it's true. When I went to a writing conference, I had a great title for my book, and it made sense, like my mom thought it was good, my mom's godmother thought it was great (I stayed with her godmother when I went to the conference, in NYC. They might have been biased lol), but the editor that was running it, didn't like the title, he goes "come back, with more options" (it was a four day conference, very pricey, but it was worth it, I got a publisher request, still looking for an agent) so, I'm not all that surprised.

    OH NO! The Murder Complex wasn't published in Brazil! It was published in Portugal (we both speak portuguese , not spanish like you said in a past video) , but it's another country and continent and we don't have this contact and exchange that US and England seem to have, so we (from Brazil) don't even have access to their (Portugal) books.

    Hey,
    I don’t know if you will see this, but my little sister is the biggest book worm you will ever meet and I really want to get her a different and unique book for Christmas, yet one she will fall in love with. She is 13, but is super smart and has a very grownup view on life. She is quite witty and sarcastic as well. She loved the Cassandra Claire series (mortal instruments??), Lockwood and co, His Dark Materials that kinda thing. She isn’t very girly, and loves some scare and not too far fetched. Any recommendations?
    Thanks!!

    I was wondering if you'll be making a video to talk about how the new RUclips/coppa regulations will affect you and booktube as a whole? I'm a small channel and would love to hear your views on it as "books" are "child attractive" so we'd all be affected by the FTC's new wording (and honestly I have no idea what we're supposed to be doing).
