Fully Booked By Represent Publishing
Meet two best friends who spend their days (and way too many late nights) living and breathing self-publishing. One’s an editor and book coach who loves a strong story arc, and the other’s a book cover designer obsessed with typography and color palettes. Together, they pull back the curtain on what it’s really like to create books for a living.
Each episode, they dive into the messy, hilarious, and rewarding world of indie publishing—from launch-day highs to formatting fails, client chaos, and the behind-the-scenes realities of running a creative business.
You’ll also get straight-talk advice for authors: how to level up your manuscript, what makes a book cover actually sell, how to prepare for self-publishing, and the industry myths you should stop believing right now.
If you’re an author, a future author, or just someone who loves books and the stories behind them, this podcast is your weekly dose of real talk, industry insight, and best-friend banter you won’t want to miss.

If we could start our self-publishing journeys over… we’d do a lot differently.
In this episode of Fully Booked by Represent Publishing, Brittany and Chelsea get uncomfortably honest about their biggest self-publishing regrets, the mistakes we made, the lessons we learned the hard way, and the things we wish someone had warned us about from day one.
From disastrous first book covers and imposter-syndrome-fueled editing decisions to misunderstanding what authors actually need from professionals, we’re sharing the behind-the-scenes missteps that shaped how we work today. Not to shame our past selves—but to save you time, money, and unnecessary frustration.
