Blog version of this video: authorrosalindbsterling.com/blog/how-i-published-a-book-at-19-costs-advice-process-from-start-to-finish-and-more
Whether you’re a beginner trying to publish your debut novel, or a seasoned professional looking for border viewpoints, here you’ll find advice and a detailed explanation of every step I took to publish my book. Learn everything I did right and wrong so you too can improve your author journey. 📖
—What I’m about—
My channel offers a variety of writing, art, and media related content focused on discussion, personal advice, speedraws, animations, humor/entertainment, and creativity. If that’s your cup of tea, then consider sticking around and follow my journey as a young author and artist 😄 And don’t be scared to contact me or strike up a conversation! I love making new friends, collabing, and supporting everyone on their own journeys ^^
—What’s next for my channel?—
My next post will be a discussion of this year’s NaNoWriMo, what I worked on, discussing some program controversy, and advice on moving forward after a long month of writing.
A/N:
Wow, I haven’t posted a sit down writing video like this in almost a year. I’ve been mostly posting speedraws and other art stuff since those were all I really had the energy to do, but I plan on doing more of these kinds of videos in the future. Hopefully at least once a month so I can keep a routine. Also apologies for any poor camera or mic quality. I’m still trying to improve my content but equipment is very expensive so I’m trying to make due with what I have. I’m also not great with talking on camera in general but I’m slowly but surely getting better and trying to improve my talking speeds and lisp. Follow my journey if you want to see me slowly get better at this whole YouTube thing haha.
