Not me being all emotional for you and YOUR special moments. 🥺 Congratulations again! Wishing you plenty more moments like this and may these types of moments never grow old.
Ahh, this made me so, so happy! Hearing you talk about how much you wanted an in-person event, all these author dreams you have happening, lovely multi-launches hee, just sjdhgdfgh this video is such serotonin. Congrats, congrats, and more congrats!
I've rarely tear up watching RUclips videos, but this hit me so hard 😭 I've been following you since you joined RUclips and I'm so proud of you. I went to indigo recently and saw BLF and took a photo to text my friends and tell them about it. Going to buy a copy next month and read book 1 and 2 back to back, I know it's gonna be amazing!
😭😭 thank you so much!! And thanks so much for telling your friends about the book too! 🥹 it’s definitely been a wild journey since I started this channel, so grateful for everything that’s come by way. And I hope you enjoy when you read!!
This is so amazing! I didn't think of actually filming myself going to bookstores. Great idea! I guess I'll film when I do the actual signing. Congratulations on your TV spot and the live event! And let those emotions out! This is your dream come true!🥰
I accidentally did the opposite haha was too busy during the signing to film then. But I always think it’s fun to see into bookstores since we’re book people. And thank you!!
Just finished Blood Like Fate! You're a hacking genius :D I enjoyed the sequel so much, Idk which one I liked more but then again, who says I have to chose! I'm looking forward to see what your next literary masterpiece will be like! Love to see "messy Black girls in fantasy situations". We need more of that girl love!
So so happy you enjoyed the sequel!!! And yes haha picking favourites is hard lol best to avoid, that’s what I do. And thank you so much! Excited for you to read the next one!
This was so sweet! I’m so happy for you! I’m glad you got to sign a bunch of books at your local indies! Congratulations on all your book launch events! (And thank you for wearing a mask. Trust me, it’s a big deal). I’m excited to read BLOOD LIKE FATE, but I still have BLOOD LIKE MAGIC to read! Hope I can get to reading both by the end of this year. I’m SO looking forward to your upcoming anthology video and congratulations on your MG project, too! 🎉🥳
How did you pick a company to print your books? I'm an arthur who just completed my book. I know Amazon is an option. It's so many book printing companies here. I want to make the right choice
Hi there! I’m actually traditionally published, which means that I got a literary agent who submitted my manuscript to publishing houses and one made an offer and purchased the book. Then they handled all the printing, shipping, etc of the book. So the only thing I did was write it and some promotional things. I think what you’re talking about is self-publishing where you would be responsible for figuring out which company prints and distributes the books. And I don’t really know anything about that 😅 but I know a lot of self published authors post videos on RUclips about those topics, so I’d recommend checking them out for that information.
Hello! I am perhaps not the best for this 😅 I’ve never made an attempt to have like a “successful” launch. I get help setting it up and invite people and see what happens. I don’t do anything special. And my goal with a launch is just to have a good time and celebrate my book vs having a kind of goals that would make it count as a success. But if your concern is having people come, you can start by inviting people you know. Because then you can at least count on those people to come. And see if they might help you spread the word on their social media

Hi I'm a new arthur. What advice would you give me to have a successful book launch and invite ppl?
