I'm to the point of wanting to publish my first book, but my inner-critic (and some close family members) voice is hard to overcome. Thanks for doing these videos. I'll likely go through all of them systematically, and hopefully gain some courage.

Great video! 😊 How reliable is the previewer for paperback? I'm nervous and just ordered my first proof and am basing my launch date on how it comes back. Thank you!
@BethanyAtazadeh8 сағат бұрын
Thanks! It doesn't always show you the obvious issues, so I would always recommend actually looking over the proof in person before approving for sale.

I create purely for the love of it. If others find joy in my work, that's a bonus. If not, it doesn't concern me. Such is the life of an artist - our art may not resonate with everyone. Also everyone try's to be like whatever is hot in the moment. You will never be a leader in the industry trying to be like everyone else. If you just want to take part that's fine, but if you want to take over you gotta be the trend setter and do something different. What do all these top writers have in common? they did "their own" thing. Now everyone else is trying to ride their wave.

Oh Bethany. I know you may never see this post. But i want you to know that you are not alone. Not only is GOD with you, but many of us women have suffered this great loss. In 2016 I had a miscarriage at 16 weeks. And found out during a prenatal check up. Even now, after all these years, April ( when i found out my baby passed away) and the day he was due) are very hard on me. But I know that my baby ( Enoch) was just too perfect for this world. ❤. That same year I had a miscarriage, I attended my cousins baby shower whose baby was due a few weeks before mine was. And I was so happy for her, but I secretly hurt so much. However, I know that every situation whether its good or bad is a lesson for us to learn so that we can be a help to the following generations.

Hello Mrs. Atazadeh! My name is Kiera Krause and I am 16 years old. I am the published author of a book called Scarred. I just wanted to thank you so so much for your amazing content! It has helped me so much with the whole process of writing and publishing a book. You for sure were a crucial part of my learning and understanding the way to go. I still have a lot to learn, but I sure hope to be as amazing of a writer as you are someday!! I love your books by the way; my favorites are the Number series!! I love how you inserted Christianity in there ( I'm a Jesus girly too!!!) Thank you again so much for your help! Blessings, Kiera :))

I’m interested in purchasing your trilogy. I understand that is young adults and as such I am assuming that the content is PG at the highest so to speak. How clean is your trilogy?
@BethanyAtazadeh3 күн бұрын
Yes I believe YA books should stay age appropriate so all of my books are clean when it comes to physical relationships, just a few kisses and nothing further. There is a tiny bit of violence but very minimal on the page.

Thanks, Bethany. I also use a Wix template for my monthly newsletter. I've tried four or five different approaches to using the Wix "button link" to send short excerpts of current or upcoming novels (I'm traditionally published, so I can only send very short excerpts, all set up as Adobe Acrobet pdfs) and have hated all of them. I'm going to try again with the Wix media files.

None of them came from draft2digital, I've actually never ordered print books from them before. The omnibus delivery all came from 48 hour books, and the shipping was through paypal and pirateship

Hi Bethany! I preordered The Queen's Rise on Amazon a while back, so does that mean I don't get any extras like the character art?
@BethanyAtazadeh4 күн бұрын
Great question! The preorder version has almost everything the kickstarter version has, the only thing you won’t get is (1) the foil cover edition (2) the kickstarter exclusive signing page (3) the extra postcards and such on top of the book, and of course (4) early access like everyone in the kickstarter who has their copy already. :) otherwise you’ll get all the fun character art, map art, bonus scenes, Spotify playlist etc! 😊
I can't find the stolen kingdom series books I got or the sticker I got.
