  • Authortube: What is Purple Prose?

    Posted on March 12, 2025 6:20 pm by A.P. Fuchs

    Authortube: What is Purple Prose?

    vLog Authortube What is Purple Prose

    What is purple prose?

    You might have heard the term from seasoned writers or those just beginning. You might have even heard the term from your English teacher–but what is it?

    Well, it has a boring definition with boring examples so in this video we cut to the heart of it and explain it simply and easily and how to avoid this writing crime.

    Let’s go purple and have some educational fun!

    Cheers and enjoy!

  • Authortube: Should You Listen to Your Editor? | General Best Practice

    Authortube: Should You Listen to Your Editor? | General Best Practice

    vLog Authortube Should You Listen to Your Editor General Best Practice video

    In the age of new writers emerging all the time and various qualities of work being put out there, sometimes you wonder if an editor was involved or not?

    So the question to writers is: Should you listen to your editor?

    This video is a general, broadbrush statement on best practice when it comes to this question. Obviously, not all scenarios and specifics could be discussed unless you wanted a twelve-season Blu-ray set. Haha.

    The comments are open for discussion regarding certain scenarios or specifics.

    Thanks.

    Authortube: Beta Readers | An Opinion from a Self-publishing Veteran

    vLog Authortube Beta Readers An Opinion from a Self-publishing Veteran thumbnail

    Prompted by a Facebook post upon which I was able to give my opinion on beta readers, I decided to make this Authortube video discussing the same and give my answer in video form as well.

    Warning, this video might be controversial and you might not agree with what I have to say. That’s fair and that’s your right. This is just the opinion of a self-publishing veteran (22 years) who’s part of the old guard of writers, so to speak.

    For those curious, I’ve played the role of author, publisher, and editor. I’ve done deals with New York and abroad. My label was also a traditional publishing house for a time. These items are listed so you know where I’m coming from.

    Anyway, please enjoy this old guy’s opinion on beta readers and if a writer should use them or not.

    Thanks for watching.

    It’s time to wrap up this video series on how to market your book when your book sales have come to a standstill. A lot was explored over the past six videos and, for this one, we summarize things and point out the one lesson that underscored the entire marketing series. Pay attention because it’s an important one.

    Oh, and as a PSA, if anyone comes to you offering a secret method to book marketing, run. They are trying to sell you something and aren’t truly interested in your project. Watch this video for more on that.

    Thank you for sticking with me throughout this series. I hope you learned something. It was also a good refresher for me. Time to keep putting things into practice. It’s the only way to market your books.

    See you on the shelves!

  • Authortube: My Book is Not Selling! What Do I Do? | Part Three: The Copycat Method

    Authortube: My Book is Not Selling! What Do I Do? | Part Three: The Copycat Method

    vLog Authortube My Book is Not Selling What do I do Part Three The Copycat Method thumbnail

    This particular method of book marketing is very effective because it allows you to take what works and apply it to your own projects. The copycat method is just like it sounds: Copy.

    All marketing is based on the copy principle. The “how to copy” is different depending on what you’re marketing, but in this case, we’re talking books and comics–though the principle applies to any product–and how to take things to the next level as you market your book.

    Watch this video to find out how to go about it and how to execute the Copycat Method. I won’t lie. It will take some work, but it will be worth it in the end.

    Authortube: My Book is Not Selling! What Do I Do? | Part Two: The Plan

    vLog Authortube My Book is Not Selling What do I do Part Two The Plan thumbnail

    This book marketing video takes the bull by the horns and is intended to be the first step in increasing book or comic sales. The reality is, once a writer or artist puts out something for the public that they have to pay money for, that writer or artist has become a business, and to get the book or graphic novel to sell means you have to treat your finished work and the distribution thereof as a business as well.

    In this video, A.P. Fuchs teaches the basics of assessing your current business plan even if you didn’t have one written out to begin with. This video will not show you how to create a business plan from scratch but rather how to extract a business plan from what you’re already doing for your review.

    This is part two of helping authors and artists increase the sales of their work from a veteran publisher and author of twenty-five years, who has been published both traditionally and has worked independently.

    You’ve done all you can. You wrote the book to the best of your ability, you got an editor to correction some issues, you got a fancy book cover, and solid distribution.

    Yet your book is not selling, or not selling in the amount you want. What do you do? How can this be fixed? Surely must be a way to move copies.

    What am I doing wrong? You might ask yourself.

    The following video, part one of a series, might be of help. Step one: Encouragement.
