No, lip syncing and dancing won't help us sell more books. But more to the point—marketing is supposed to be YOUR job, not ours. So publishers, since you really seem to think TikTok holds the answers for your authors, I have a few questions for you...
TIMESTAMPS
00:00 Intro
02:45 Is it really a good idea to pressure authors to enter a reviewer space?
06:47 Does this strategy of "mimicking the youths" ever work?
07:29 How long do you think TikTok will be king?
07:52 Is "uplift" really your goal with marginalized authors?
09:42 Where's the line?
10:21 Closing thoughts

Stuff I use as a full time writer/author (that you may have spotted in this video!) (affiliate links are afoot):
WRITING/WORK STUFF
Macbook Air. Doesn’t really need my recommendation. [ Ссылка ]
iPAPA laptop case: [ Ссылка ]
Mind-Reader adjustable/portable laptop desk. I LOVE this thing. Typing with my arms at an angle has drastically reduced elbow/wrist pain. [ Ссылка ]
Bluelight blocker glasses: [ Ссылка ]
Best writing pens, hands down. I use them every time I revise a book. [ Ссылка ]
Acer monitor. I kind of hate the word gamechanger but this really was that kind of purchase. [ Ссылка ]
Brother laser printer. I won’t lie, this thing is a behemoth. But I’ve had it since 2017 and I think I’ve had maybe one paper jam? It works great, it’s super consistent, A++ for printing manuscripts. [ Ссылка ]
Alphasmart Neo2. Highly highly recommend. [ Ссылка ]
I'm a Skillshare Ambassador! I've been binging their courses on filmmaking and video editing, as well as writing, but there's all kinds of stuff for creative types! Try it out FREE for two week! [ Ссылка ]
COFFEE STUFF
Ninja coffee maker. [ Ссылка ]
Cold brew pitcher. [ Ссылка ]
Zulay milk frother. [ Ссылка ]
VIDEO MAKING STUFF
Canon G7X Mark iii camera. I love the flip up screen (ie, you can see yourself as you film) and the fact that there’s a mic port. [ Ссылка ]
Savage studio lights. I mostly use these for ‘talking head’ videos. [ Ссылка ]
Ubeesize 10” ring light. That’s the little guy sitting on my desk. I mostly use it for vlogging. [ Ссылка ]
JJC mini tripod. [ Ссылка ]
Rode clip mic. [ Ссылка ]
