“Oh my gosh, I can’t believe this is my book! I wanna sleep with it under my pillow…” Aspiring writers totally get that. Congrats, Vivien!!! I’ve followed your journey for a long time so it’s motivating to see your debut novel has finally been birthed!!! Could you do a video about your expectations going into this process and what you’ve learned, any pitfalls, etc?
I loved your enthusiasm when you were unpacking the first package! I would be the same I think. I'm not sure if I want to pursue writing as a career anymore, but I still think it's wonderful when people manage to finish and publish a novel ❤
I am so proud!! **wipes a tear** CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I already bought it. I'm super excited to read it and leave an honest review. You deserve it so much!!
I have my copy. Congrats! A genuine reaction is always great. I like the thickness of the paper and the smoky effects on the top of the some of the pages that goes with the cover. For those of us who may go into self publishing in the future I appreciate any tips for publishing that someone like you has already been through.
I love the excitement on your face over seeing your book for the first time, honestly. The first thing I would've done after opening it would have been smelling it ngl
“Pages... pages...” your little nose is red. Amazing moment! Im so proud for you! (I know this is old but I cannot imagine the moment) your OWN BOOK! What a major milestone. Happy happy!
Cheers official published author! I can’t imagine how surreal the feeling must’ve been for you opening up the package. Great unveiling and wish you the best in your future writing endeavors!
Congratulations. I remember watching your videos as I was writing my book and when I finally published. I'm so glad to hear that yours is finally published. You were such a great support and inspiration.
ROFL! Nice singing voice. So...congratulations!! Your book-baby has arrived! I can't even imagine the day for me. I'd love to hear the *story* of your publishing. :)
I have not had a chance to read your book yet but I am excited beyond belief. I have been raving about you to my co-workers. You will probably get some sales from them as well as much as I have been pushing them to order it too... Hope your launch was amazing. Congratulations! Absolutely no feeling like holding the book that you worked so long and hard on in your hands!!!!
Yay!!! I'm so excited for you! This was awesome. Wonderful unboxing - I've been a fan of your channel for a while now so it's awesome to see this come to fruition! 😄
One day, after I'm finally confident about my writing, I want to hold my own book. In flesh and see the pages and not just on a flat screen of my laptop. You have inspired me to continue writing and one day finally is successful. Congratulations on your book, although this a late comment. ❤😊
I'm trying to finish up reading the ARC! I had to put it aside for a few days because I had other obligations, but I'm excited to finish and review it! Anyway, CONGRATS on being a published author!!! So exciting!!!!!
Oh my, you are so cute opening the box to see you book in the paperback! 😁 I can't believe I missed this video on the 24th. I'm so happy for you Vivien!!! 😊 🎉📕🎊
Congratulations!! So happy for you! ❤ Got the ebook and read through 28 chapters in one go, will post a review as soon as I finish reading. (Planning to get a paperback copy on payday ☺)
Aww your reaction is adorable haha! Congratulations! I’m an aspiring writer and hope to have my first book complete within the next few years, and you’re a source of inspiration for me!
I wanted to see actual end results of direct publishing from a DIY perspective. I've been working on my autobiography for several years now, having to pause the writing bc of gig schedules and album releases, but I'm incredibly IMPRESSED how yours turned out, and it's about as thick as I'm imagining mine to be once completed. The tips and tricks out there discourage new authors from true stories/autobiographies, and that sci-fi, fiction, romance etc tend to sell best....but I've got a great story to tell. (they all say that). Thank you for sharing this.
AMAZING FREAKIN' JOB! We have watched you for years now write this, you have worked hard on this, congratulations! I am wanting to get your book, I just have to save up a little more! GOOD JOB!
Ordered the book yesterday and can't wait to read it I really like your writing advice videos and your excitement is so heartwarming I would just totally die if I'd get to hold my own book in my hands one day lol
I am sooooo excited for you! And I really want to buy your book! The thing is just that I promised myself not to buy anymore books... But when I own an ebook-reader, I WILL do it. Also, I will see if my local library might buy it. Would be awesome!
What a wonderful video! I loved your reaction when seeing the books!:D congrats!! I look forward to reading it (I'm definitely going to buy my own copy right now!!)❤️
I have been so excited for you, that I had been checking my RUclips channel everyday. Waiting for you to post. Unfortunately I am working out of town and I can't read my copy for another week :'(
How EXCITING for you...am learning first hand choosing to be a writer and sticking to it is grueling, however much we love it😉how wonderful for you..am struggling bcuz I'm not computer savvy it's AWFUL
As a new author I have a book being published soon but not on the scale yours is. I was wondering if possibly you have done or could do videos on just what you went through (ie, finding agents, editors and the like) to get your finished book that you're holding in your hands. Well done on the publication though! Great work and can't wait for me to feel the same thing.
congrats! I am really happy for you, I want to buy the book but I really cant because I live in a country that amazon doesn't deliver to. this is really annoying but what can I don. anyways, I am writing a book too hopefully one day I will publish it too. CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN! XXXX
They look so good 😻 Btw, I received a curled copy as well, and it‘s actually just because of the shipping. I ordered a signed copy of a book, she sent me a picture of it before she sent it, and when it arrived it was curled, so it probably was because of bad handling.
please dear god tell me which paper you chose and which font size etc..... i just recently ordered my own proof from createspace and it was so yellow and the printing TINY. My converting guy who converted files to amazon and create space formats saud ut was ok. it wasnt. my cover is great though. is your cover matte? im willoughby khan on amazon btw if you like foreign romantic short stories (not the dirty kind... hell i coudnt even put my book in that category of short stories. that category is smut!!)
Congrats! I wanted to buy it but is there anyway I can buy the Kindle version and have it read in my Kobo? (I don't a Kindle E-reader sadly) I really want to buy and read the E-book since it takes about 3-4 months for the book to arrive in my country if I ordered the physical copy, and I can't just wait that looonger! :(

Hi Vivien this might be a strange question; are you tempted to read it yourself now that it is a real book, so to speak? :)
I have my copy. Congrats! A genuine reaction is always great. I like the thickness of the paper and the smoky effects on the top of the some of the pages that goes with the cover. For those of us who may go into self publishing in the future I appreciate any tips for publishing that someone like you has already been through.
Coolest and cutest unboxing video I've ever seen. So proud of you, Ms. Viv!
Congratulations! I'm so glad that wasn't staged, you were genuinely speechless. Really looking forward to reading it!
I love the excitement on your face over seeing your book for the first time, honestly.
The first thing I would've done after opening it would have been smelling it ngl
Your reaction is so priceless! CONGRATS!!!
"This is my brain-child" lol congrats on the new addition to your family. It's beautiful!
“Pages... pages...” your little nose is red. Amazing moment! Im so proud for you! (I know this is old but I cannot imagine the moment) your OWN BOOK! What a major milestone. Happy happy!
I'm currently writing my first book, and I cannot WAIT to experience this! 💕💖
Congratulations, it's a book! SO happy the day is finally here.
I am so happy for you!!! Unboxing your own book brings so much joy :) Congrats

nice video, couldnt help thinking of those "i made dis" comics
As a new author I have a book being published soon but not on the scale yours is. I was wondering if possibly you have done or could do videos on just what you went through (ie, finding agents, editors and the like) to get your finished book that you're holding in your hands.
Well done on the publication though! Great work and can't wait for me to feel the same thing.

Haha, it is super overwhelming when you unbox your first book, so don’t feel too bad!
Great looking cover! Congrats!
They look so good 😻 Btw, I received a curled copy as well, and it‘s actually just because of the shipping. I ordered a signed copy of a book, she sent me a picture of it before she sent it, and when it arrived it was curled, so it probably was because of bad handling.
Mines supposed to come Monday. I’m a little jealous. But SUPER excited. I can’t wait to read it.
