I'm back! Another video! It's a miracle! 
The BookTube Newbie Tag seemed like a logical place to really start this channel, even if I do call it the BookTok Newbie Tag about seventeen times in this video. Look, I'm trying, okay? The muscle memory is strong with these words.

Want to learn more about my publishing imprint, Skies Press, and my first acquisition (TO BARGAIN WITH MORTALS by R.A. Basu, coming Fall 2025)? Check out my Bindery at https://skiesreads.binderybooks.com/

BOOKTUBE NEWBIE TAG | What am I doing here?

Welcome on in! My name is Emma and I'm a content creator on TikTok, Instagram, and Twitch. Pull up a seat and tell me your favorite book! 

Emma Doyle

During this phase, we're reviewing manuscripts and deciding which book we want to publish. At the end of this phase, we offer an author a book deal.

Consideration

As the manuscript goes through several phases of editorial work, the cover and interior design takes place, while format decisions about paper stocks and printing treatments are made.

Editorial & Design

While the books are on press, the pre-order links go live and the marketing campaign ramps up with waves of review copy mailings to media and influencers.

Pre-order

The finished copies have released on the book's publication date. Go give it some love!

I like to talk about books. A lot. Fantasy books, science fiction books, romance books, sad books, fun books, bleak books, silly books, short stories, novellas, novels, and intimidatingly hefty tomes. If you also like to talk entirely too much about books, you've come to the right place. Make yourself at home!
