    Authortube: How to Design a Great Book Cover | One Word (Three Simple Parts)

    vLog Authortube How to Design a Great Book Cover thumbnail

    A lot of authors feel overwhelmed when it comes to book cover creation. Whether you hire it out or do it yourself, you know that a good cover will potentially lead to a book’s success. What is a good book cover? What makes one cover stand out from the one next to it? What’s the most important part of a book cover? The image or graphic? The colors?

    In this video, 25-year self-publisher A.P. Fuchs reveals the one word that makes or breaks a book cover. One word with three parts. Watch and see. It’s very simple. If you use this one word as your engine for your cover, you will have a good cover.

    Thanks.

    This video letter is speaking on behalf of myself and thousands of other authors around the world. We are sick and tired of you spamming our book announcements and threads with solicitation of services we can easily do ourselves.

    Two words: Stop it.

    Another two words: Grow up.

    You are not a professional. You are a scammer for anyone who spams scams. Period.

    Please share this video if you’re an author/creator and feel the same.

    Thanks.

  • Authortube: Don’t Overthink the Story (The Subconscious Mind)

    Authortube: Don’t Overthink the Story (The Subconscious Mind)

    vLog Authortube Don't Overthink the Story The Subconscious Mind thumbnail

    There is a tendency to overthink while writing, especially amongst new writers. You want to do well, want to make a good impression, want to come up with something well-written and perhaps clever, and while these goals are good, they can also lead to the slippery slope of overthinking your story.

    This video goes over adjusting your headspace so there is no disconnection between your conscious and subconscious mind due to overthinking your story.

    The solution is simple. Watch and find out.

    Thank you for tuning in.

  • The Glamorous Life of a Writer: Writing Axiom-man

    The Glamorous Life of a Writer:

    Writing Axiom-man

    A.P. Fuchs writing Axiom-man
    Photo by author Melinda Marshall

    As you can see, the writing life is just like the movies. I have an assistant, a publisher ringing my phone off the hook because I’m late on deadline and they need the manuscript ASAP, stacks of notebooks and looms of paper. Books line the walls and typewriters and pens litter the table.

    But if you squint your eyes just the right way, you’ll see the truth about a writer writing. This is how I bring you stories. This is where the work is done.

    This . . . is writing Axiom-man.

  • Midnight Recording

    Posted on June 4, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

    Midnight Recording

    midnight recording

    It so happened that on Sunday morning I woke up about 2:30AM fully rested. I tried going back to sleep but no success so I got up, made some coffee, and headed down to the studio.

    Middle of the night.

    Podcast recording. Episode 9 of Season 2.

    There was something peaceful about recording in a silent house without risk of anything happening that would require my attention. And it was especially helpful for podcast creation but each episode takes about an hour to record then, including processing time, another 3 hours for digital work, rendering, and upload.

    Often, my recording and creation is on a clock. Sunday morning, it wasn’t. 

    Grateful.

    This midnight recording was special.

    I hope you enjoy Episode 9 when it airs.

    Peace.
