Episode 28 - Dopamine Hits and Cortisol Spikes - Navigating Social Media

Hi everyone, and thank you for tuning in to another episode of the We Make Books Podcast - A podcast about writing, publishing, and everything in between! This week we’re talking about cover copy – those words you find somewhere on the cover of the book that tell you a little about it.  Those words are very important because their sole purpose is to convince the person reading them to buy the book.  Cover copy is a tricky, delicate, and often frustrating thing, but one that Kaelyn just happens to love.  So today we’re talking about ins and outs, dos and don’ts of cover copy and how a couple hundred words are one of the most crucial parts to selling a book. We Make Books is hosted by Rekka Jay and Kaelyn Considine; Rekka is a published author and Kaelyn is an editor and together they are going to take you through what goes into getting a book out of your head, on to paper, in to the hands of a publisher, and finally on to book store shelves. We Make Books is a podcast for writers and publishers, by writers and publishers and we want to hear from our listeners! Hit us up on our social media, linked below, and send us your questions, comments, concerns, and the best story you have about cover copy that resulted in reading a very different book from what you thought you were getting.. We hope you enjoy We Make Books! Twitter: @WMBCast  |  @KindofKaelyn  |  @BittyBittyZap Instagram: @WMBCast  Patreon.com/WMBCast ***We had a problem with the transcript for this week’s episode.

Episode 25 - The Wizardry of Distribution and Whole Sale - Traditional Distribution Side

Hi everyone, and thank you for tuning in to another episode of the We Make Books Podcast - A podcast about writing, publishing, and everything in between! This episode comes to us from listener Ashley Graham – we’re talking about distributing your self-published book and lucky, Rekka just so happens to know a lot about every step of the process.  Self-publishing a book is a lot of work even after you’ve finished writing the thing and figuring out how to get it out in the world can be a daunting and intimidating process. Luckily for writers, there are a lot of great, and often free, resources out there and today we’re not only going to discuss them but also walk you through the process of getting your book in front of readers through the right channels. We Make Books is hosted by Rekka Jay and Kaelyn Considine; Rekka is a published author and Kaelyn is an editor and together they are going to take you through what goes into getting a book out of your head, on to paper, in to the hands of a publisher, and finally on to book store shelves. We Make Books is a podcast for writer and publishers, by writers and publishers and we want to hear from our listeners!
