In my last book signing vlog, it was a bit of an epic fail. Didn’t sell many books, and also had my canopy get destroyed. Well, it’s been a couple of weeks, and now it’s time to redeem myself. Hopefully. See how it went in this latest author vlog and see exactly how many books I ended up selling!

54 seconds in and you are simply amazing. I love women. You have a teeny one and a little one at home, still pumping and yet you’re sharing your craft and tips with us. Thank you! I hope you get a lot of joy out of what you do. I definitely feel the gift of receiving all you share with us. Now I’ll continue watching.
Thank you so much for the incredibly kind words and support! 😊
The same thing happens to me at book events! The people i have long conversations with dont buy but people who i just smile at and let look at the trope printouts are more likely to buy? My theory is that people who dont want to buy feel bad so they’ll engage in conversation as a way to alievate their guilt or something?
So true! That’s probably what it is.
I don’t know if I’ll ever do one, but my fav videos of yours are always the signings lol. Love love them.
Thank you! Signings are definitely a lot of work but so much fun to film. 🙌🏻
Great vlog! Please vlog any signing you’re able to, we love seeing them! I’m looking forward to doing my own events in the near future and you’re a huge inspiration to me! ❤️
have a few more this year, I’ll try to vlog!
I would love how you got your book inserts that say the tropes. Such a good idea.
Thank you! It’s so simple but works super well!
Awesome!❤❤❤❤❤ I love all of your books, especially, She’s Not Here.” I love your setup! ❤❤❤
We started writing books almost the same time. I am inspired by your video. Iam also a self publisher and i sell myself. I love your videos
