Working with Book Editor (OH, THE DRAMA!)
Is the book editor really needed? Or is it more of a waste of time? Let me tell you about my experience with the editor that has been assigned to me by my publisher (the good, the bad, the PANIC).
Marketing a Book with NOTHING to Show Yet?!
How does one market their book and build a momentum when there’s nothing I can really show for the book except for the signed contract!?
Well, it turns out that the answer is: A LOT.
So, let me show you what I have done so far to market my book, while I don’t have much to actually… SHOW.
Can Your Novel Benefit From Pinterest?
Are you hallucinating vividly while reading? Do you hear character’s voices in your head? I recently got to know that this is not something that everyone experiences. Heck, I have gotten to know that not many of us are capable of such things.
Author's website - what are the must-do's?
Recently, I had a call with “the publisher” (aka, a person taking care of me as an author). He has visited my website and asked if I will be using it as my author’s page.
I knew that my website, lexiejanson.com would need a refresh as I wanted it to become my Author’s page. At the previous state this website was made as my general portfolio as a content creator. I actually have 2 websites, so I can just move that stuff to my other website, no hard feelings.
Fantasy Book Publishing & Marketing
Two days ago I had a pleasure of having a second call with my publisher. During the first call we have discussed the timeline for my debut novel as well as the general processes behind publishing. But the second call was more focused on the tip of the iceberg - The Marketing.

What to look out for in Book Publishing Contracts
3 days ago I have signed a contract for my debut fantasy novel (which is a part of a series). As you may imagine - getting a contract feels UNREAL. But you know what you need to do once you get it?
It took me years to make this one happen!
How to go from a hobby into a publishing deal? This took longer than it should, but I am happy to have finally taken the step!

I think we an all agree that a book cover is one of the most important decisions… We say “don’t jusge the book by its cover” but let’s be fair - WE DO JUDGE THE BOOKS BY THEIR COVERS. Sometimes we pay attention to a book only because the cover made us stop and stare.
So let me tell you a story: (And I’ll show you the cover of my book at the end, so keep reading. It’s beautiful.)
