I am over here crying happy tears for you... congrats. This is huge and the title "Backhanded Compliment," just sounds like you... I don't mean that in a mean way. I just mean that it sounds like your kind of book based on your personality and attitude.
Mate I am so grateful for your effort. You inspire all us non-published authors. You deserve it and good luck with whatever is the next big accomplishment from you! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This news made my year!! You so deserve all the riches of this damn universe!! You are amazing and I am so looking forward to following your fabulous career and read ALL your books!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤ Crushing it!!!!💪👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Girllll, been waiting for this video since the announcement❤🎉 I’m rooting for you, im so happy for you! Congrats congrats congrat!!!🎉🎉 Now imma grab my cookies and tea and watchhh❤❤❤
I stumbled accidentally upon your videos talking about getting an agent and selling your book (all tonight), and now I'm SUPER EXCITED for Backhanded Compliments to come out soon! Absolutely love the title, by the way, it's so cheeky. I'm also very, very, veeeeeeeery grateful to whoever suggested you switch from mlm to wlw. We NEED more lesbian representation in every genre of literature. There are so many men AND women always willing to write mlm, but only a handful of women writing wlw and it's very upsetting. I'm so glad your book will give us representation. I also am a big tennis fan, so that's a very cool bonus for me (Aryna Sabalenka is my favorite player)!
listening to you telling the whole story made me so emotional somehow, this is just such an amazing journey - you know how sometimes you'll hear someone tell you they achieved something you dream of and you might feel jealous? I can't, all I'm feeling from this video is just pure bliss and happiness for your success ❤ you 💯 deserve this!
I still can't get over how amazing it is that 10ish months from now 1/2 of the Troublemakers will have traditionally published books! I'll never forget Stig's ominous "Have you talked to the girls this week?" and I just KNEW something crazy had happened. I too forgot how to emote hahaha
omg it's absolutely BONKERS! and it's all thanks to you 🫶🥰 and omg that has to be one of the funniest things he's said. emoting is hard when something INSANE happens! 😂 ilysm, Jessica! 🥹 thank youuu 🥰
I graduated from my literature degree this Summer and now I’m working as a bookseller!! Here’s hoping your book comes into my store in London :)))) would love to put you at the front
Congratulations Katie!! I hope this is the first of many book deals in your author career!!! I’m looking forward to all the fun stuff and being able to purchase the book and read it!!
Congratulations, Katie! I’ve been following your journey since a little bit after you got an agent! I know submission is usually slow, but yours happened so quickly! What a great story! Can’t wait to preorder! And such a fabulous title! 🎉🥳
I love this story so much! It's so telling that the story that pushed you out of your comfort zone and helped you reconnect with your passion is the story that's making your publishing dreams come true. Because OF COURSE it is! Congrats on your success! :-)

So so happy for you!!! Congratulations 🎉 I remember watching the vid just before and when you'd just started writing this book and watching the transformation as the light came back in your eyes and gestures. You did it! And you deserve every success 😽

Since the first time I heard a piece of your work I knew you were going to be a writer that I was going to want to own all of the books for. I can't wait to have a copy of "Backhanded Compliments" and all your future books on my shelves. Congratulations Katie Ann! ❤
Hey hunny, can I ask how you found your literary agent all the sites i go to the agent lists havent been updated and msot are closed for submissions. Congrats on your amazing dream coming true!
I'm not going to lie when you said the publishers name i thought you said my name so i rewound the video and sure enough that was my name except my name is spelled with a Y Trynica thats crazy i thought i was the only person in the world with that name apparently not but hey congratulations on the book deal and I look forward to reading your book next year
Was your book inspired by Challengers? To seize on the "tennis" rage after the success of that movie? Or was that just a coincidence. Please be transparent.
great question! it was not! I wrote Backhanded Compliments January-March of 2022! but the success definitely helps people get people excited for more tennis books! 🥰🎾
