How to Talk to a Camera (Even if You Hate It) - Basically required to market books in 2025

I hate filming myself and putting myself out on the Internet BUT I love to write, and in 2025 learning to put yourself out there is critical to marketing your books in the digital age.

I have been making videos for 5 years and absolutely hated it at the beginning, so in this video I'm sharing how I get myself ready for filming even when I don't want to and would really rather be writing.

ABOUT: Hi, I'm Claire! I’m an award-winning self-published author of paranormal thriller books (my book "They Stay" won the Grand Prize at the 2023 Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards and is the first in a five-book series).

There is no one way to write a book. I’m a strong believer that the only way to develop your own writing process is by trying a bunch of different methods to find out what is the most helpful to you. In my videos, I share how I approach every stage in my writing process, from brainstorming to editing, in the hope that it could give you something to try that could help you level up as a writer. I share techniques that have improved my own writing so you can see if the same strategies help you.
