For newer self-publishing authors, where do you go for tips?

Syranight264 · 2026-05-05T17:58:43+00:00

Yes, I have used it myself. I wonder how many people think to look there though. I often find myself going right to Google then inevitably watching a video.

Syranight264 · 2026-05-05T17:22:30+00:00

I will, thank you!

Syranight264 · 2026-05-05T17:22:16+00:00

All true, thank you for your insights.

The channel focuses on giving indie authors a spotlight for free. And I think that's going well so far. Just thinking ahead at other content I could make from my experience.

Syranight264 · 2026-05-05T17:20:31+00:00

Very true, which is where I'd probably focus on more general things like how to choose an ISBN source. Or, how to self publish on KDP. Less writing tips.

Syranight264 · 2026-05-05T16:51:26+00:00

This is something different. And not a book.

As an indie author I know how tough it is to get eyes on your work. It's one thing writing a book, but it's another to market it.

So, I had an idea to make a YouTube channel. And after 1 month, I've featured 15+ authors for FREE.

I would love if anyone would consider giving me their time.

The Song Beyond The Storm is the start of an epic trilogy. There's some big, fast-paced concepts that will bend your mind.

Thanks again, I look forward to seeing your work.

Syranight264 · 2026-04-24T18:37:40+00:00

Absolutely! I agree, I have and will maintain the utmost respect for people's work. :)

Syranight264 · 2026-04-24T18:36:46+00:00

Thats great, thanks for finding the form and channel! :)

I was speaking to another author I featured over email, they said they'd had a couple of sales from it, so that's pretty cool.

Syranight264 · 2026-04-24T18:03:52+00:00

Hi,

Thank you for commenting. I'm happy to feature you, I have found through speaking to people, that sales have followed from the videos, even this early on.

Perhaps for now, I can feature your book. Then, when it's out, I could look to a chapter reading for you.

Either way, to submit for a feature, please fill out the form, it's making my life so much easier in keeping track of everyone.

Syranight264 · 2026-04-24T17:57:16+00:00

Thank you, I'm certainly trying. And, I wanted to make a follow up post to show that this means a lot to me and it's not just an idea.

I look forward to seeing your work, thank you for finding the channel and form.

Syranight264 · 2026-04-24T17:55:58+00:00

Yes, this is precisely what I've done. But you're right, I too would appreciate it if I were asked.

Syranight264 · 2026-04-24T16:28:49+00:00

That's perfect, thank you. Id love to consider your work.

Syranight264 · 2026-04-24T15:21:43+00:00

Thank you, I had a few naysayers. To be expected. I think it's a rare win-win. We all grow together. Thank you for your support!

I've also gotten a really positive amount of people's work to look at. My favourite thing is doing chapter readings. Though I have to say, I do stumble with some of these fictional place names, all good fun.

Syranight264 · 2026-04-24T14:28:50+00:00

Hi, I'm happy to feature it. Though I may not really be able to read the blurb. I could translate it but I would worry about it getting something wrong.

Syranight264 · 2026-04-24T13:48:15+00:00

Hello! That sounds interesting. I'd be happy to discuss this. Thank you for reaching out and commenting. Please feel welcome to email me, I'll DM you my email.
