Supporting the Author!
How to continuously support Audrianna M Brownell and her writing journey!
Dear Family, Friends, and Readers alike,
One year ago I decided to publish a story that I had worked on for months in an effort to share my creative outlet with all of you. Over the past year I have not only published the first book in my urban fantasy series— The Rise of a Visionary— but I have also published the first in an interconnected romance series— Social Pressure—inspired by my time in my sorority in college.
Writing is still something I do in my free time as an outlet for my creative spirit but also a way for me to express how my mental health struggles have affected me as I emerge into my early 30’s.
As the months have progressed I have evolved and my publishing steps have as well, in an effort to streamline how my readers can access my books I have made them available through not only Amazon (and next week the ebooks will be free for a limited time. So don’t miss the chance to grab your copy for your kindle or e-reader device), but also online through Barnes and NobleAll that being said, the most efficient way and best way to support me directly is through my website.
Novels by AMB was a site created to not only give readers the opportunity to purchase signed copies directly from me, but also to share my art for each project as well. Currently I have stickers and packs of stickers for each book available for purchase on my website. All the art is hand drawn by me on procreate and turned into stickers that you can use for your kindle, water bottles, and so much more. Make sure to check them out!
My approach to Substack has inevitably changed as well, though I am so grateful to have been able to get a good kickstart in funds through subscribers on this platform, I have unfortunately been terrible about posting. I want this to change, so I have updated the cost of my membership to align with the content I plan to post in the future. I will continue to post updates about my upcoming projects through here first and begin to post more articles about my reading and writing journeys.
Being an Individual published author is so much more than simply writing and publishing a book. I work very had on all of those steps as well as marketing and promoting my projects, establishing a community of readers through my social medias and supporting others in this journey as well. So supporting me, supports all of that— as well as my books.
So whats next?
Starting August 5th, the first Episode of the Ink & Insight Podcast will be releasing. As a co-host,— along side my best friend Jo Sian— I will be discussing not only the books I love to read, how becoming an author has shaped me, but also how all of this is effected by our changing cultural climate and how it connects with us all on a deeper level. If your interested in submitting questions, getting a behind the scenes look into creating a podcast, or want to be the first to hear more updates regarding episode drops check out our Insighter Family Patreon. To support for free, make sure to follow Ink & Insight on Instagram and Tiktok.
I also have a few announcements coming this fall and later this year regarding my personal life and my books so keep an eye out for those as well.
Thank you all again for subscribing in any capacity, I am excited to see what the next few months of 2025 holds for me, and what books we all will be diving into!
With so much love,
Audrianna M Brownell
