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. READY TO FINALLY BE IN THAT "CAN'T STOP WRITING" FLOW?Grab the free nonfiction or memoir kickstart that's helped hundreds of authors get out of their heads and into the flow: 👉 PublishAProfitableBook.com/chapterone WANT TO SELL MORE BOOKS (WITHOUT THE SELF-PROMO CRINGE)?The Author Visibility Bundle gives you 200+ done-for-you email templates, social media graphics, and other book promo tools designed to help authors build buzz and drive sales, without feeling pushy. 👉  PublishAProfitableBook.com/bookvisibility WONDERING EXACTLY HOW TO SELF-PUBLISH SO YOU CAN STOP GUESSING?Grab the action plan and finally feel confident you’re doing this the right way.👉 PublishAProfitableBook.com/actionplan CURIOUS ABOUT AMAZON ADS AS AN INDIE AUTHOR?Snag the small but mighty tweaks that help your book actually sell before you ever spend a dime on Amazon ads.👉  PublishAProfitableBook.com/trialSupport the show****** Write the Damn Book Already is a weekly podcast featuring interviews with authors as well as updates and insights on writing craft and the publishing industry.
