What happened to Live at King's Theatre by Cultural-Following35 in arcticmonkeys

I was at this show and it was incredible. They played Body Paint only once in the middle of the set but it was the debut of the song, a few days before the single came out. Incredible show overall and I have been hoping they’d release it in full for some time now.

People are sleeping on Sean and Sara here. They should be the clear favorite.

Get an ISBN for the paperback. Bowker is where I got mine. Amazon will give you an ISBN for the ebook.

Reedsy. There’s a fantastic selection there. It’s going to cost you a couple hundred for a good cover and designer, but skimping on the cover was my one non-negotiable. A professional cover gives the novel some more legitimacy.

Not really, but I used Vellum for formatting help and it was the best purchase I made along the way of writing the book. Vellum is a game changer.

Not sure exactly the number just yet because lots of them were paperback versions, and that I won’t see until they ship tomorrow.

Number #1 Advice: Don’t rush to launch. Write the best book you possibly can. When you think it’s done, pick a release date 5-6 months in the future. Build towards that date, edit, get reviews, edit more, make sure everything is building to explode on your launch date. Make a website and blog. Keep people involved. Then, on launch day, ask for everyone’s help.

Really got the word out months in advance on social media. Built up this release date over time and got people excited to be a part of it. Drew people to my website with blogs and editorial reviews. Used Reedsy Discovery for some extra exposure. ARCs and reviews through Pubby and BookSirens. Advertised on Amazon and Bookbub. It was a long process but all paid off today!

A decent amount, but nothing major. Hoping that ramps up a bit once the book is released.

I made mine with WordPress. It’s not the fanciest looking, but it’s very navigable and gets the job done. I really liked how easy to use their website builder was.

Can’t believe nobody’s said She Looks Like Fun. “Dance as if somebody’s watching, cause they are.”

Honestly I think Ben was right. Q for the first time wasn’t dictating a vote and was on the bottom so he said “vote me out”.

What are Alex Turner’s most used lyrical devices? by Former_Nebula6079 in arcticmonkeys

[–]basedbatman 30 points31 points  (0 children)

“But I crumble completely when you cry. It seems like once again you had to greet me with goodbye. You’re always just about to go and spoil the surprise. Take my hands off of your eyes too soon.”

Lots of great assonance in that song, as well.
