Episode Synopsis
Click Here to ask your book writing and publishing questions!This week, I sat down with debut author Noël Stark, who went from wrangling chaos behind the scenes in the TV and film world to wrangling words on the page, often in 15-minute bursts. Her novel, Love Camera Action, flips the script on Hollywood romance by spotlighting the crew, not the stars (and the 3 peppers on the spice scale are sure to attract an audience quickly.Inside the Episode:Why Noël intentionally wrote a love story about the people behind the camera.How it took her three years to finish her manuscript (and why that timeline is totally okay if not to be expected).The rollercoaster of Pitch Wars, querying 40+ agents, and the 18-month wait from “yes” to launch day.Choosing not to read reviews during launch (because sanity matters, and confidence is a fragile beast).Why she tailors content differently for Instagram vs. TikTok, and how showing up as her real self resonates most.What’s next: a sequel that turns the spotlight on the actors from book one, and an intriguing speculative fiction project that has her lit up. 🗞️ The Damn Good "Can't Stop Writing" FormulaGrab the free nonfiction or memoir kickstart that's helped hundreds of authors get out of their heads and into the flow: 👉 https://www.publishaprofitablebook.com/chapterone ✍️ You've Been Thinking About This Book Forever.
