*taking fervent notes* 👀👀

oooo. I am so excited to hear more about them in this new year.

ummmmmmm....I AM SO EXCITED FOR ALL OF THESE?!

I’m such a fan of these ideas! Would love to hear about the others you have in another video if you decide to do that. They sound super interesting. I feel you on putting away bigger projects that mean a lot. Though I’m so eager to write them I’ve found projects that I can manage for my first few that I still enjoy writing. ❤

Ooh hope you like the locking function!! It was such a game changer for me !! Best of luck in the revision trenches 🫡

I’ll definitely be rewatching this video whenever I find myself in revision, this is such a cool template!

Editing has been this ginormous mountain I have struggled to climb for years. But I can confidently say I am finally done with dev edits, but now I am struggling wiith scene edits.

Curious why you're planning to lock-down the chapters after editing during what's essentially a developmental revision. I can totally see it for line level edits - once the story is in the right order, you've got all the beats you want, etc. - but it seems restrictive for an overview review. Interested to see how it works out. I'm also barrelling toward revision hell so very curious on other authors' experiences and plans.

This is so helpful, Kaitlin!

The link to notion wont let you access it without perms 😫. But also, Blake Snyder is the author of Save the Cat and he was a male author and screenwriter who died in 2009, so I’m not sure who you’re referring to when you talk about the female author of the Level-Down method video. However author Jessica Brody wrote two sort of “spin off” versions of Save the Cat “Writes a Novel/ YA Novel” if that’s who you mean. I think there’s been several authors who have their own take on Save the Cat XD Brody does credit Snyder though in her work since she is not the original creator of the Save the Cat method nor is she the author of the book shown on the screen when you refer to the Level-Down method. Accidents totally happen! There’s so much material out there and it can get super overwhelming sometimes. Totally don’t want to dismiss the rest of your video bc you’ve got great stuff in here. Just wanted everyone to know where to find the right resources with the right credit. Personally, I found both Snyder and Brody’s books super helpful 🤩 Snyder’s book is meant largely for screenwriters (though any storyteller can benefit from it), references films, and is shorter whereas Brody includes essays and uses Snyder’s methods but adjusts them for specifically novels or YA novels (depending on the version you get). All are great resources ✨

I so needed this! This is so helpful, thanks Kaitlin!!!

This is great! I love learning about graphic design. Visual storytelling is a huge part of marketing a book to the right audience <3

bless you so much for this, you're saving me in these dreaded revisions <3 immediately going on my productivity playlist

This is such a good idea!! Thank you for this video <333

That advice about not writing the project of your heart first is so good! Writing is a skill to develop, and it’s so easy to get discouraged early in the game. Save your best ideas for later 😊 great video! Good luck in 2025!

loooove the space western idea!! a project where you just write for fun always feel like it says more from your heart then the ones where you set out to say something!

Wow! I wish I had this many projects all thought out! I can't let myself stray from my main, or I'll never finish it 😅🤣

So exciting Kaitlin! Can't wait to see these projects come to fruition!

For the first time in a long time, I don't have another story waiting in my brain. Which is good. Because I'm finishing up the first draft of my third novel in a series and will soon have over 550K words to revise 😬 But it looks like you've certainly found your niche, which is great.

So excited!!

I get SO EXCITED when the topic is BOOK COVERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have quite a few books coming out in 2025 and I need soooooooo many covers lol.

Wow! Such talent 😍

Ugh I loved getting to be a part of this!!! Thank you for including me, you are so talented!!!

This is stunning! Love them Kaitlin!

this was superrr cool to see! u are so talented kaitlin! the vision and pop of the covers are just stunning✨🫶

I loved how they turned out. They are so good. you did amazing.

Omg, this was so much fun! And you absolutely KILLED it! 👏🏼🎉💖

Love this video! Both covers are great, and I think Ande’s is my favorite. The minimalistic style looks so good!! And I love the idea of connecting the Os ❤ If I were to offer a very small piece of constructive criticism, I would say I think Brielle’s cover could do with something to make the title more readable. Not necessarily a font change, potentially a shadow or border could suffice, although I’m definitely not a graphic designer, it was just something that I noticed. The cover itself stands out nicely, but I did notice I struggled reading the title, so I thought I’d share!

Ohhh, I love Ande's cover, too. I think the red color is gorgeous! I don't think I'd like a gold color as much. Maybe if it was a shimmery gold on a small portion but left most of the red. Or leave one thing red at least? I'd want to see it to compare and decide if I like this original better or not.

Love Brielle's cover and title! 💚 I'd like to see the changes you mentioned that you'd do to it, though. 🤩

This is an awesome video! Love the idea and authors you designed for. 🤍

What a great idea for a video! Absolutely loved this and can't wait to see the next one. Especially liked how you went over your design choices :D

I love designing bookcovers! Makes it feel so real! 🥰😍

These covers are so beautiful Kaitlin! I love the linework, it's something I've been noticing some in book covers but definitely want to see more of. It adds this rougher aspect, making things less clean cut and more raw and interesting! I can't wait to see the next installment with Cody and Natalie! 🤍

ahhhh they were both so nice! excited to see the next installment! ♥

YOU KILLED THIS!!!!! Obsessed. ❤❤❤

Both covers are so beautiful! I love your style, Kaitlin! 🥰

Don't let the price of a cover designer stop you from publishing in 2025, book with me on Contra for an affordable cover! contra.com/via-client?u=kaitlin_kuzanek_0f29a6sv&

This is a great how-to! Do you guys also do critiques as part of your group or is it focused more on writing sprints? We have a big critique group in my metro area but it's a bit too far to go every week, so I've been toying with the idea on and off of starting an offshoot closer to home. On the other hand, you can find critique partners online, so maybe it's not as useful...

Congratulations on 50k! 🎉🎉

Love this! And the whole starting at the library is a great idea! How long on average have your meetings been?

I would love to create/join a writers group! Having people to gush about projects with and body double for getting work done would be amazing!

Thank you so much for sharing this! As someone who has no serious writer friends this is extremely inspiring and a great idea!

Such a good idea for accountability and just hanging out with fellow creatives!

Yay!! Its truly crazy that you wrote 66k in one month, you're a force to be reckoned with and I can't wait to read your writing one day! 🤍 So sad all the November videos are ending 😭

I've been waiting for this update! Yay! So, happy for you and your progress! Congrats!!!

you absolutely crushed it in november, it was such a fun month I've loved hearing about your project. looking forward to all that's still to come for you and this project!!

Finished!? How exciting. I hit my goal for November but she ain't done yet. 😄

congrats on 50k!!! 🥳

Congratulations! Absolutely fantastic. Very happy to have discovered your channel. Subbed x
