In this episode, hosts Kimberly Todd, K.C. Luck, and Jamey Moody compare Canva and Book Brush—two design tools popular with indie authors. They share their personal preferences, costs, features, and how they use the platforms for book covers, social media, A+ content, and promo materials like bookmarks and business cards.

Quick Highlights:

• Book Brush is more expensive but offers great extras like mockups, reels, and brand kits.

In this episode, hosts Kimberly Todd, KC Luck, and Jamey Moody discuss the dangers of comparing yourself to others, especially within the self-publishing world. They share personal updates, including writing progress and book releases, and dive into the topic with honesty and humor.

The trio emphasizes that comparison, especially via reviews, rankings, or social media, can sap the joy from writing. They remind authors to celebrate their accomplishments—like finishing and publishing a book—and not get discouraged by others' successes. Genre popularity, audience differences, and time in the industry all influence visibility and sales, making direct comparisons unfair.

They also touch on the impact of social media, the pressure of “should” expectations, and choosing what marketing strategies work for you individually. Ultimately, they encourage listeners to write what they love, find joy in the process, and forge their own paths.

The episode wraps with a listener question about favorite tropes to write and read, and a reminder that the next episode will be released after a one-week break.

In this episode, bestselling authors Kimberly Todd, KC Luck, and Jamey Moody break down the art (and the agony) of writing a book blurb that actually sells. From crafting punchy taglines to balancing intrigue and clarity, the hosts share their personal approaches to creating blurbs that hook readers and communicate the heart of a story in just a few carefully chosen lines.

Jamey outlines her preferred structure for blurbs, including a bold first line, clear character intros, and a final punch with tropes and a call to action. KC talks about the importance of questions in blurbs and writing in present tense to keep things dynamic. They all agree that blurbs should entice, not summarize, and should never include typos or plot spoilers.

Packed with practical advice, personal stories, and a few hilarious tangents, this episode is a must-listen for indie authors looking to sharpen their blurbs.
