Weekly videos on the business of being an author and making an income as a creative entrepreneur.
Mandi Lynn published her first novel when she was seventeen. The author of Essence, I am Mercy and She’s Not Here, Mandi spends her days continuing to write and creating YouTube videos to help other writers achieve their dreams of seeing their books published. Mandi is the owner of Stone Ridge Books, a company that works to help authors bring their books to life through cover design and book formatting. She is also the creator of The Book Launch Planner, a planner designed to help authors publish and market their books. When she’s not creating, you can find Mandi exploring her backyard or getting lost in the woods.

What’s the secret behind funding over $78,000 for books on Kickstarter? I recently sat down to interview indie author, @MaryMecham_Author, on her experience launching her first Kickstarter, which was wildly successful. We’ll be discussing how her existing platform impacted the Kickstarter, what she did to make the campaign so successful, what type of marketing she did, and so much more! We’ll also be discussing the special editions and why Mary chose to do a large print run, rather than work with typical printers such as BookVault.

I've done multiple tutorials showing you how to design book covers using Canva. In one of those videos, someone commented that Canva book covers get rejected. Since I've never published a book with a cover designed in Canva, I got curious, and I dug up a whole mess of issues. Supposedly, there are accounts being terminated because they used Canva, covers being rejected, and there are lots of copyright infringement issues. I did a little bit of a deep dive to figure out what issues people are encountering and solutions to those issues. But ultimately, I want to answer: can you self-publish a book to KDP if you designed it using Canva?

Marly’s road trip of a lifetime doesn’t just check off bucket-list destinations, it forces her to face the grief and guilt she feels over her parents’ death.
This is a coming of age romance that will probably make you cry, have a bit of wanderlust, and fall in love.

Today I’m giving you a little behind the scenes look into the new book I’m writing, as well as showing you how I’m using my favorite writing software to both outline the book as well as write it. I’ll be showing you how I use this software for character profiles, creating locations in my book, as well as tracking my writing progress and organizing it all.
