Hey! Couple of questions about publishing: 1. How do you format the book for publishing? Since you have experience with Reedsy, does it automatically format it for you or do you have to do it manually? 2. What sort of details should be included in the blurb on the back of the book? 3. Does it matter which corner the page numbers go on? Ive noticed some authors do it in the bottom corner, while others do it at the top. Do you choose that, or does the publishing company decide? 4. How do you come up with titles for your books? Also, I'm in the middle of "A Girl Named Ivy". It’s really good!
Hey! I'm also an aspiring teen author, and it's really nice to see there are others out there! I've been trying to get on the literary agent train and it's been a STRUGGLE. Mine is a YA fantasy/lit fiction, but I was wondering if you had similar struggles getting it published because of your age, something I'm encountering. Also, I think you mentioned in a short that you're seeking med school (I might be going for law), but I was wondering if you've been discussing your writing journey and the challenges attached as part of your college apps? Thanks!
First! I love ur videos!! Also, I have a question: how do you write your introductions? I struggle to create intros that reveal just enough about the story/characters without seeming choppy or out of place.
Hi Ali! I love that you did a longer sit down video and I hope you can do more of these (I'm a big fan of your content!). I have tried to start writing a book and I have only got 2 chapters in it. I honestly think that the plot sucks and don't know if I should restart it with the same characters or if I should give up on it completely. Do you have any advice???
Hey! Obsessed with your channel. How do you come up with the title for your books and how do you stay motivated? Also, how do you like carry out your research for a particular book?
I’m trying to write my own novel too, I’ve finished the first chapter I’m just struggling to plan what happens next. Do you have any suggestions on what I should do???? Also I love watching your videos and you are a big inspiration for me!!!
hello! rubie here, ive recently finished reading both of your books and loved them sm :DD (especially 'what went wrong last summer', it was so good i had to write a review on goodreads haha) and i have a question, i just tried using reedsy as well to attempt to write my book, and i want to ask if they allow any pngs/ imgs to be exported on there? like on the page? for example pictures of messages and etc (if u get what i mean :")) also, do they allow us to add collaborators to a project? thank you so muchh and wish u a happy new year~

Hi! Just curious, why did you unpublish your first book?
I wrote it under a different account, and I also had a different pen name (and I couldn’t change it on the cover!) But I may try to fix it soon!
You’re such an inspiration for me!! My dream is to get published by the time I graduate high school💕🩷💖
