The Ugly Baby Syndrome of Publishing - Feelings of an Author #126

Season #4

In this episode of Buckets and Boomgates, Jill Olish and Kim White get brutally honest about what happens after you hit publish. If your book doesn't sell the way you hoped, it’s easy to believe you’ve got an “ugly baby” on your hands—but that’s not the truth. This conversation will help you separate your worth from your numbers and see your book through a more accurate lens.

  • What “ugly baby syndrome” really is and why so many authors fall into it
  • The difference between book quality and book visibility
  • How unrealistic expectations set you up to feel like a failure
  • Practical ways to evaluate your book without attacking yourself
  • Simple next steps to get your book in front of more of the right readers

By the end of this episode, you’ll see that slow sales are data, not a diagnosis of you or your book. Jill and Kim will help you trade shame and self-doubt for clarity, strategy, and a healthier relationship with your creative work. If you’ve ever secretly wondered whether your book is an “ugly baby,” this one’s for you.

Love Ya’ll,

Kim & Jill ❤️
