    I did not know Barnes & Noble Press was a thing. Where have I been? This is great info, I love your videos. You should sell your books as e-books on a “Big Cartel” platform so you get 100% of the profit. A PDF download, ePub, kindle etc. (using Scrivener.) just a thought. BTW I love the sticky notes, Easy way to move around

      April Teesdale Hi April! Yeah Barnes and Noble Press is relatively new (I believe) but they’re free to use and the books are gorgeous!

    Love your videos....Let's just say, I've been around the block a couple times and you my friend are my favorite to watch. You are informative and relatable. I really appreciate the time you took to do ALL these videos. It's not easy putting yourself out there and being vulnerable. Wishing you success on your journey!

    I just subscribed to your channel. I had to chuckle as I was watching your vids in regards to self-publishing, but discovered your van build project. It is another thing that I’ve been researching for the last several months and just got a vehicle to build out. I would enjoy watching your progress and how you guys design it. I’m also looking forward to watching more about your journey and information on writing, publishing, etc.

      Faye Strudler Hi Faye! I’m always excited to meet another person interested in vanning/travel. It’s been really snowy and cold here lately so the build has slowed down a bit, but I hope to share more about the van once the weather warms up a bit 😊🚐

    I really enjoy your content. I wish I would have found it sooner. I have been working on a children’s book for a couple years in my spare time and it is ready to publish. Your site has some of the best honest information I have come across. Thank you.

    i have started my self publishing journey by offering my poetry chapbooks in my etsy shop, the same way I used to sell my crochet patterns. Do you get more ereaders than physical readers? I am going to be getting my own copy of Song of the Dryad it's just soo pretty and knowing how much work you put into it makes it look golden

    I finished my first draft that is 17 chapters and 29,720 words!
    Excited to proof read and have it edited! I have the cover and now I need to do the formatting I watched in your other video. Thank you for all the help! You’re helping make my dreams come true!

      Angelia Irizarry I’d love to work with you Angelia! And I do hope to turn Pistol Daisy into an audiobook. I’ve never done it before, but I’d love for the book to be in as many formats as possible so that the largest number of people can enjoy it 🥰
