@ksshaywrites: wow another helplessly niche video about publishing lmao sorry I just needed to dump some thoughts about submission and publishing and selling a book here real quick #writertok #writing #traditionalpublishing #publishing #authortok
Yes! I’m loving her series because you so rarely see the step by step process of people in these wildly successful situations. I worked in trad pub for years & it’s interesting cos it’s new to me, but it’s 100% not what it’s like for most authors 😂

⚠️no hate to Victoria this is a Victoria appreciation zone but it is ALSO a zone where I feel compelled to offer some more realistic sub expectations in terms of length, interest, treatment, etc ⚠️

Theo | L Theodoora :
Being on sub as a debut right now is TOUGH. I'm trying to be so optimistic. The rejections I've gotten so far from imprints have been so nice and the feedback is great, but it's long and frustrating and I'm terrified about not being able to sell to a big imprint without a platform right now.
But we've gotta be tough in this industry and radically optimistic 😂😂 I keep telling myself it's going to be great! You're so brave! lol 💜

She’s also said in her videos that her situation ISNT common and that she’s lucky so many editors want to speak with her. She’s been super transparent about it

Worth saying 💕 but she has a celebrity following. That’s a different game.

ngl it felt like a weird choice to make. it's a bit like Charlize Theron going "documenting going on auditions, hope to get a new role soon!"... immence respect but also... are we serious here?😅

Just curious why it’s harder today to publish for non-best selling authors

She also had experience before and some nepo help and that’s okay I love her books but I agree it’s not what the average aspiring author experience
