Hello friends,
Now that I’m a published author I get the question ‘what’s one piece of advice that you would tell authors just starting out?’, and my answer to that is this. You will make mistakes. You can do all the research you want, but there are things you won’t learn until you do them wrong. It’s an ongoing process, but pay attention to the lessons you’re learning, because it will make your next book stronger.
My lesson for the week is about book series. If you are writing a series (I am in the middle of my trilogy) make sure you think about that when it comes to book covers. As I was working with my graphic artist on the cover for Discovering Fate, I realized I missed putting something on the cover for Awakening Fate. I didn’t have the series title, and I didn’t have what number Awakening Fate was in that trilogy.
Luckily my graphic artist is amazing, and he had no problem going back to add that in. I’m in the process of updating it on all the sites I have my books on, but learn from me when writing a series! It give a much more cohesive look to your series.
If you are looking for a place to find my books, or my musical inspirations, or where to find me on my socials, I’ll put my linktree link below! Thanks for being here, friends!
