Ever feel like shouting “Buy my book!” from the rooftops... and then immediately cringing? Yeah, same.

In this episode of The Quill Oracles, I’m diving into the often awkward world of marketing your book without losing your soul (or your lunch). We’re talking intention, authenticity, and the real reason your book isn’t for everyone—it’s for your Natalie.

✨ Grab a cuppa and meet me at my favorite coffee spot, The Alchemy Café, where a dusty old marketing pamphlet sparked this whole chat. We’ll explore how to set up your creative space to welcome intuitive flow, how to energetically attract your audience (instead of chasing them), and how to stop sounding like a late-night infomercial and start sounding like... you.

📚 I’ll also introduce you to Natalie—my audience muse—and walk you through how to find your own, so you can stop marketing to the masses and start speaking directly to the hearts you’re here to reach.

If you're a soulful Gen Xer ready to share your story without selling your soul, this one’s for you.

✨ Listen now and let’s make some marketing magic.

Real talk about what works, what doesn’t, and how to navigate print-on-demand.

This week, I’m pulling back the veil on the not-so-glamorous world of self-publishing—and trust me, it’s not all six-figure royalties and Canva book mock-ups.

Whether you're mid-memoir, finally writing that novel you've carried for years, or just wondering how the hell KDP, IngramSpark, and Lulu differ—I’ve got you covered.

From this morning’s sunny golf round to an afternoon drenched in Christmas Island rain (literally), I’m bringing you the raw, real truth about self-publishing:

• What platforms actually work (and which ones charge you for breathing)
• Why I pay $150 to IngramSpark for global promo—and still celebrate $2.70 royalties
• How to set your creative space with white sage, palo santo, and a whole lot of intention
• Why your story deserves to be told, even if you start messy

It’s part pep talk, part publishing breakdown, and a whole lot of midlife magic for writers ready to go all in.

✨ Grab your journal, light a candle, and let’s dive in.

🎙️ Episode 6: Designing Your Book – Covers, Layouts & Aesthetic Energy
Hosted by Amanda M. Clarke | The Quill Oracles Podcast

Ever picked up a book and felt something before you even flipped a page? That’s not just good design—it’s energetic alignment. In this episode, I’m spilling the mystical and practical tea on why your book’s cover, layout, and overall aesthetic absolutely matter.

From the sun-drenched fairways of Christmas Island (yep, I recorded this post-golf glow-up), I walk you through how your book's look and feel sets the tone for your message. We deep-dive into glossy vs matte covers, fonts with attitude, white space as sacred space, and how to infuse your pages with energy that matches your message.

Whether you're writing a self-help how-to, a spicy memoir, or a deeply soulful oracle guide—this episode will help you design a book that not only looks good but feels right. Because Gen Xers like us? We know when the vibe is off. And your book’s vibe starts before anyone even reads the first sentence.

Plus, I shout out my book The Angelic Oracles—a pocket-sized portal of divine messages for your everyday magic. (Get it at korupublishing.com, just sayin’.)

✨ Come for the design tips. Stay for the energy realness. And maybe rethink that Comic Sans cover idea.

✨ In this episode:

• A tarot practice to guide your writing sessions
• Crystals that support creativity, clarity, and courage
• Energy-clearing rituals to shift the blocks that aren’t yours
• Real talk on the power of pausing and returning to flow

What if writing a book was more than just putting words on a page? What if it was a spiritual calling, an intuitive process, and a journey of transformation?

Welcome to the very first episode of The Quill Oracles, where self-publishing meets mysticism. In this debut episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my journey as an author, creator, and what I like to call a Literary Oracle—someone who blends writing, intuition, and publishing to bring books to life.

We’ll explore:
✨ The magic of intuitive writing – How creativity is more than just logic; it’s an energy you can tap into.
📖 Self-publishing without overwhelm – The truth about turning your ideas into beautifully designed, sellable books.
🔮 Mystical tools for writers – How tarot, meditation, and intuitive downloads can supercharge your writing process.

If you’re a writer, self-publisher, or spiritual seeker who has ever felt the urge to create but didn’t know where to start, this episode is for you.

🎧 Hit play, trust your intuition, and let’s turn your words into something powerful.
