BTS048, Trademarking My Podcast Name, Publishing Books, Mixed Feelings About ARC services, and Designing Covers

Send us Fan MailIt's been a while since I filmed or recorded a Behind the Scenes Author Diary Update—so that's what I'm going to do. In this episode, I will discuss what I've been doing since January 2022. And this episode isn't going to be scripted, mainly because if I start scripting these episodes, it will take a long time to produce them. Let's face it: I know what I've done this year, so I shouldn't have to rely on a script to discuss that. It's not like I want to say something in a certain way because it's super important for me to communicate it. I'm just simply talking about my year.So, in this show, I'm going to come clean about why I've trademarked my podcast's name. Honestly, this isn't the first time I considered discussing it. The last time, I chickened out. Also, I will discuss the books I published this year and my mixed feelings about using Advanced Reader Services. And I'm going to come out of the closet as a book cover designer.So stay tuned for all of this and much more.Podcasts, Books, and Tools MentionedCheck Out the Show NotesThe Previous EpisodeThe UK Copyright ServiceMystery Novel Nerd PodcastWMG Publishing CoursesBookSproutInterested in the mini-course on how to outline a novel?Want the podcast straight to your inbox?My ServicesTry The Formatting Wizard Book Formatting Services for FREE **The Formatting Templates offered by my services.Le Villain Book Covers (Affordable Premade Book Covers) **My BooksMy Short Story, the LawnThe Candidate (Rookie Reporter, Book 1)Suspicion (James Lalonde, Book 1)Duplicity (James Lalonde, Book 2)Support the showConnect with me on Social MediaDiscord: https://discord.gg/HZX7HZBQUfFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/authorpreneurpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/authorpreneurpodcast/X: https://twitter.com/writeradhayYouTube: www.youtube.com/c/authorpreneurpodcast/videosGoodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/authoradhay/Merch Store: https://www.redbubble.com/people/WriterADHay/shop* This is a service or product offered by me** My bookish merchandise store
