The Path to Publication - Episode Zero.

[EmilWX]

why oh why did youtube recommend this to me?

[mattdadragan]

i wanna read the novel

[david4eve]

sam i love that quote and wanted to see if i can use it in a quote book i am trying to make. also i cant wate for your book to come out. sounds awsome.

[IWTSYPIV]

CommunityChannel was in it, so I gave it a 5 stars automatically.

[SamProof]

hahaha awesome. I've got a Halloween out take with CommunityChannel coming up.

[DreamWritersInc]

Gone... sounds interesting. Hurry up and publish it! Are you getting enough query letters out there?- Erin

[SamProof]

I gotta say, I need to get more queries out there. Work has been kicking my motivation lately.

[xxsarahbarahxx]

dude i'm trying to get my novel published...so glad i came upon this

[SamProof]

Very cool, if you ever have any questions let me know and I'll try to answer them as best I can.

[DreamWritersInc]

got any tips about query letters, outlines etc?

[SamProof]

You know until I actually start getting more requests to read my book, or 1st 10 pages.. I don't know that I should give advice about query letters ;)

I'll see if I can't do a video on it in the future.

[DreamWritersInc]

ok, so when you are famous published author I expect to hear back from you (^__^)

[SamProof]

For sure. When that happens I'll have time to make these videos more often.

[imprintfilms]

i like how the first line of your novel is "when all else fails we wait" mine is "life is like a pencil with out any lead its completely pointless...even when you sharpen it, it probably will still have no point and well if you wanted to say stab some one then with that lead less pencil it just couldn't be done at all, ever"

[SamProof]

That's pretty funny (and poignant) sets up a nice tone and voice. I dig it.

[imprintfilms]

lol my book will b the of mice and men of comedy lol

[manduh13]

When you get it published, I want to know when it goes out on selves. :)

I love reading and by knowing that first line, it sounds great!

Let me know!

[w0oah]

i like to write. but i never read books EVER. good luck

[Jarnson]

Awesome man. That line is really cool. "When all else fails, we wait for fate to change our lives. Not the other way around."

[SamProof]

very cool, thanks.

[axelxaldan]

id love to read this. i am writing too

[oncura]

i wouldnt mind reading this either just on the basis this guys funny as hell so im guessing he can make a good novel as it takes one hell of a smart person to do such a thing.

[zombiehottie]

id love to be able to read that someday

[rideproud87]

i dont read novel but your videos approve your credits

[koolkid11229]

your hand must have hurt

lol

[taxicatgirl]

i hope u get it published!!! i wanna be a author someday but all i really have are books with a couple chapters and some fan fics... if u got it published that would be sooooooo great!!

[SamProof]

Thanks alot, and good luck to you as well. I actually made a few attempts before I got the first novel finished.

[johnmonk66]

me again, see what i did? i simply read a few pages of my screenplay, agents can hear it and decide, and i will let you know if my way works faster than your way...

[johnmonk66]

you just had 4 minutes of time, yet no one knows what the novel is about. use youtube to sell it, who knows who is watching. i heard the first line of the novel so much that I don't want to know what the next line is.

[SamProof]

well the point of the series is not only explore and document the process of trying to get published, but at the same time tell aspects of the story.

[johnmonk66]

i know, you said that, but i saw nothing about the process of trying to get published, and heard no aspects of the story. As a writer myself I know how hard it is to get noticed. My point is that an agent or publisher might see one of your videos, so make sure they see something they might want to represent. Perhaps have someone read the first ten pages, that will tell us if it is worth reading.

[SamProof]

Yea, this is a trailer for the actual series. The actual episodes will following along the and explore different elements of story, my novel and my journey.

[EarlyWyrm]

OK, I know your updates are only going to be every few weeks on the "path to publication", but I'm getting impatient man! How's it going? I want my copy of Sam's first novel, dammit!

[SamProof]

Yea I'd actually wanted to make them ever other week or ever third week... but Collabing with other Youtubers tends to be a little more consuming (or more... waiting) than I was counting on. I will do something this week!

[tvdinar]

The path to other people reading the novel seems pretty strong! You got an 'in' for publication? You can do it!!! ;) Waiting on that next installment...

[SamProof]

Hey Man, glad to see you're still around. I thought you'd slipped away. And I don't have an "in" yet, but here's hoping.

[yournextex]

Good luck dood!! You da man!  Oh no, you da man!!

[SamProof]

Thanks Man! oh wait. if I'm da man, how can you be da Man?

[yournextex]

Well, I can't. What a quagmire!! I blame Liz.

[SamProof]

did somebody say Quarmire ? Giggidy!

[anit0523]

Good Luck!

[SamProof]

thank you

[AshBradford]

shoot. sorry I didn't get my video to you Sam. it's exam season and all...

[SamProof]

It's all good Asha. You'll have a chance to repay me in the future...

wait that sounds dirty... I meant with a video... wait that sounds dirtier.

[DarkVelocity]

Didn't you at one point hate groovytimes?

[SamProof]

Um... um... Just cause a guy writes a song that another guy sucks does the mean he hates him?!

it was all in good fun. I'm a sarcastic guy, but who's keeping track (I mean aside from you) ;)

[DarkVelocity]

well. okay?

I'll just go sit in my corner :]

[SamProof]

Hahaha, no need for that. let's just battle if out with nerf tubes.

[DarkVelocity]

I'd agree but I think I missed what a nerf tube was.

care to explain Mr. Samuel Proof.

[SamProof]

Oh, basically a long tube of foam.

[DarkVelocity]

Oh. sounds like fun!

let the nerftube battle begin. that'd make an awesome video.

NERFTUBE 07. Battle of the foam

[SamProof]

Hahah... that would make an awesome video.

[DarkVelocity]

you should make it.

[SamProof]

Conisder it put on the massive list of videos I want to make.

[DarkVelocity]

yayyy

[cookiepiru]

hope all goes well with your book ;)

[SamProof]

Thanks Cookie :)

[WorldWideShorts]

Best of luck Sammy & best video to date

[SamProof]

Thanks Man

[mullen15]

hey sam good luck with publication thing i wrote acouple short stories myself but really never finished them so looking foward to your next couple of videos

[SamProof]

Cool man. Yeah I think one of my next steps is to actually try to write some short stories and try to get those in to a magazine, to help build up my credits.

[MzEstefania]

Excellent work, sir!

My best wishes to you on getting published! <3

[SamProof]

Thanks & Thanks Stef!

[Skrapper]

Hey Sam, wish you best luck with your first publication. Hopefully it will be published and even an adaptation will be released to the big screen and give you loads of money. Hehehe! See you around dude ;)

[SamProof]

Thanks dude. I'm gonna do my best in making all that happen.

[kiambas]

Sam Proof is awesome and I would totally lay him.

[SamProof]

Yea that statute totally stole that saying from you, we all know the truth.

[groovytimes]

Crap I need to put out more videos...you have 7 more subscribers than I.

Just send me another email when you need more videos, happy to do them.

[SamProof]

Finally there is balance in the force once again.

[libraryfool]

Nice work Sammy! Love the puppets

[SamProof]

Thanks, though the puppets credit goes to Chibi who rocked it hard. from now on there will be more Puppets! This I declare!

[chibialfa]

WHOA... I am having a goosebumps all over :D EXTRA SUPER COOOOL!!!! And the voice of puppet is perfectly cute *waving to NerdyGirl19*, the other guests are awesome too and the beginning and the bloopers even looks great!

[SamProof]

Glad you liked it. everyone loves the puppets. Thank you so much!

[haze]

Sam, this video is made of awesome!

[SamProof]

Thanks so much man.

[AericWinter]

Do or do not, Sam. There is no try.

Good luck getting your novel published. Hopefully you'll tell us a little more about its content in the next few episodes. And of course, of your strategy to fulfill your goal.

Carpe noctem!

-- Aeric Winter

[SamProof]

Thanks man, and yes I do in fact plan to do just that, both introducing the novel to the viewing world and have people watch me figure out just what it takes to get a novel published in this modern world.

as well as entertain

Stay Strong

-Sam

[AericWinter]

Power to you, man! I wish you much success and keep us updated, kay?

[SamProof]

Thanks, and that's the plan. I'm trying to do one of these every 2 or 3 weeks to keep myself on a schedule, and hopefully help motivate me to keep at it.
