TikTok Here We Come.
Okay - T.K.'s been over on TikTok for a while now, but in this episode she helps Valerie set up her account and gives some great TikTok-beginner tips.

Join authors Valerie Biel and T.K. (Tracey) Sheffield as we share topics to help our fellow authors as well as fun tidbits on what we’re reading and where we’re roaming.

In 2025, we focused on the process of indie/self publishing from getting started, to how to approach the tasks indie publishing requires—reviews, editing, formatting, cover design, marketing and more!! (We took a deep dive into defining hybrid publishing and discussed ways to repurpose content you’ve already created to increase revenue.) NOW IN 2026, we'll be talking more about book marketing techniques!

TIMING NOTES FOR THIS EPISODE: We begin with chit chat on what we’re reading, where we’ve been roaming, and what we’ve been writing. At 17:50 we dive into setting up Valerie’s TikTok. This is going to be best watched on video versus just listening to see the screen view.
