Support your favorite indie authors, folks. Take risks on new books and new authors in your favorite genres! Self publishing costs a lot of money, so it’s always awesome when readers can support the writers doing it themselves! For reference, in 2022, I spent about $2100 on publishing Treason and Tea. I cut that cost a lot for Pirates, since I already had things like ISBNs, but that one still rang me $1400. Gilded abyss easily topped $2800 with editors and sensitivity readers. Don’t even get me started on The Day Death Stopped and that Witchy Hunt I hosted 😂😂 Have you self published? How much did it cost you? #writer #author #bookstagram #booktok #fyp #selfpublishing

I got a lot of requests for this video :) #teenauthor #writer #reels #author #writing

The hardest part about being an author? For me, it’s marketing! I can plot out a whole novel, sort out messy drafts, or even do complete rewrites. But telling people about my book is a whole other skillset that takes a lot of work! Any other authors out there feel the same? #authors #authorsofinsta #writinglife #writing #indieauthor

You’ve done literally all of the work, let me help you get your book out there! It’s been a while since I’ve supported indie authors and self published authors and it’s something I have really wanted to get back into. My account grew quite quickly after I started it, so the time that I took connecting with authors turned into trying to keep up with the next big thing and I want to get back to my roots. I’m not looking for PR, I truly would like to purchase and support your work! I have seen such power of social media of someone reading a book that they had never heard of and it exploding online, and I just want to do what I can to get your book out there! If you are interested, please comment below your “elevator pitch” of your book. I’ll pick one every month, buy your book, read it, and work with you on a review with however you are comfortable! Please feel free to share this with your author friends, support the books that you’ve read and loved, and also use it as a way to pick your next read!!!! #bookstagram #indieauthor #selfpublishing #indiebooks #authorscommunity

I believe it’s going to happen someday. I can feel it 🤭 ••• I am currently editing “Incomplete” for submission. This book is the first in a series of three interconnected stand-alones, following three brothers in the fictional small town of Violet Hills, TX. Some tropes to expect in “Incomplete” are: 💜Dual POV 🤍 Single dad 💜 Forced proximity 🤍 Small Town …stay tuned for writing updates & more! #authorgram #author #writer #writersofinstagram #debutnovel #firstdraft #aspiringauthor #wip #romancebooks #romance #contemporaryromance #smalltownromance #workinprogress

Publishers don’t just buy books. They buy signals. They can tell early — sometimes within minutes — whether a book has bestseller potential, not because the writing is flawless, but because of what sits underneath it. They’re looking for: • A clear point of view • A confident, decisive author voice • Market awareness (not naivety) • A message that knows who it’s for — and who it’s not • An author who understands positioning, not just passion What makes people uncomfortable is this: Bestsellers don’t come from hoping your book is “good enough.” They come from authors who have already claimed authority before the book is finished. The manuscript matters. But the author matters more than most people realize. This is why two books of equal quality can get wildly different outcomes. One feels inevitable. The other feels unsure. And publishers can sense that immediately. If you want your book to be taken seriously, you don’t wait until after publication to step into authorship. You decide who you are before the book hits the page. Save this if you’re writing with bigger intentions than just “finishing.”

Hi, please tell me about the book you’re writing!! My name’s Sujin and l’ve written two YA romcoms, and I’m currently writing a sapphic thriller romcom ☺️💛 #writer #book #author #authorlife #writingabook

Hi! I’m a lawyer and a writer working on publishing my debut novel 👋 #Writer #author #writercommunity #debutnovel #books

Moments like this make me realize how far I’ve come, and how incredibly grateful I am for those who have believed in me all along. For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be an author. My earliest memory is of laying under the cover at night, whispering stories to myself long after my parents had told me to go to sleep. Before I could type, I would dictate my stories to my parents, who transcribed them for me. I read voraciously, told stories to anyone who would listen, filled notebooks with my ideas. For Christmas one year I received a small MP3 recorder, which I told stories into until I had filled up all its storage. When I was nine years old I decided I was going to publish a book. I had no idea what this meant, or when it would happen, but to me, it was the obvious next step. After all, the point of stories is to share them. At age thirteen I self-published my first book, Honey Butter. At age fifteen, I self-published my second book, Lydia Green of Mulberry Glen. At age eighteen I signed a publishing contract with Bandersnatch Books for my middle-grade historical fantasy novel, The Balter of Ashton Harper. Now, at age twenty, my third book is coming out next week. ✨You can find out more and buy my books at the link in my bio ✨ #amwriting #dreamcometrue #teenauthor #ampublishing #middlegradefiction #amwritingmiddlegrade #hutchmoot2023
