- So you're on submission to editors... what do you do? I'm offering my best, practical tips for surviving submission.
I also delve a bit into what to do if you suspect the problem is your agent, if submission is going poorly or you don't sell your book. So many things can come up when you're on submission. Stay strong!

Submission sounds like dating. You go through the bad seeds until you find the perfect fit. Except it's hella worse lol. Keep up these quality videos, Alexa :)
So I guess your agent is like a matchmaker? haha.
Just wanted to drop in and say how much I appreciate your channel! There’s lots of great author info on TH-cam but it’s hard to find such open talk about traditional publishing, especially the submission process. Your videos have been invaluable in calming my nerves and helping me feel more prepared! :) Thank you!!
I'm so glad I can help! It's why I created the channel--so few people talk about this, even though this stuff isn't really secret! I hope to make everything a bit easier for authors :)
Alexa, I have been binge watching your channel for the past 2 days! Even listening in the shower! Thank you so much for all your practical, useful information about publishing. So many channels about writing refuse to get into the brass tacks about money, contracts, and industry terms. I am so grateful for your clear, levelheaded advice.
So excited when I woke up to see this video. As usual, your advice was amazing. Makes the prospect of submission slightly less daunting to remember that plenty of other people go through it on the regular. Also, congrats on the cover for Brightly Burning! Saw it on instagram, and it looks beautiful!
Yay! I'm so glad this helped! Submission is definitely daunting but I think the more we know about it, the better. And thank you for the cover love! I'm so excited to share it! (I need to film a video about it but I have a gnarly cold and I sound awful!)
I started my Cyberpunk book a few months into querying my first book. What's nice now is that I know my first book is coming out next year and I'll be able to start querying the second book around the same time.
Thank you for posting this I appreciate your honesty.
Thank you so much! I needed to hear this since I'm preparing to go into submissions soon.
That's is a hard, but necessary topic. Thank you, Alexa. :)
This might sound weird, but I hope if I can get my book written then I can't wait to be rejected. I'm going to get a nice big binder to put all of them in.
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a method to get back into an instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my account password. I love any tips you can offer me.
@Wilder Cain Instablaster :)
@Zaire King Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Zaire King it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my ass !
@Wilder Cain No problem xD
So stressing out to the point you get Bells Palsy is not on the tips to survive submission 🤔 I should have watched this video before my body overreacted 😋😂
