Anand, this is incredibly creative. I appreciate you leaning in to the YouTube world. I will definitely watch your series and can’t wait to get my signed copy of your new book! Currently reading The Persuaders! Thank you for all your contributions to help keep us informed and educated. Good luck on your book tour!
One of the values in using video to go deeper into a topic could well be that it helps some, like those who get bound up in the minutiae of grammar, to see the creative enterprise and, yes, perhaps the rawness, lying within what you have created. I look forward to this next step in your work.
OMG! What an incredible idea. My hubs and I are mystery/thriller fans. But I’m a fan of your writing so this will be a treat to view. Thanks for “meeting people where they are!” I’ll see you in St Louis! 📚
I love the trailer and the concept. I especially appreciated your intro description of what book promotion entails in the 'new world', which is to engage the public conversation via many media forms. Not easy for me personally as an author, but I see it can be powerful and effective. I'm looking forward to your project.
I'm sympathetic. I last published a book in 2003 just as the times were changing about what was expected of authors post-publication. I hated what one had to do. I would hate even more what one has to do now. I see your intention. What is the balance between promoting book sales and widely disseminating the take-aways you most care about communities knowing? I'll defer judgment for now...Not that my opinion matters...I'm not on social media so I also don't see what you are putting up there. And you and Priya are doing very different things. It's weird, actually, to see your book promotions at the same time. Or same ish time. Must help with childcare. that you are three weeks apart.
With all due respect, if you want to be seen as a serious writer (at the very LEAST) you should be able to write basic sentences, and THEN check over/reread them.
‘And I want you to be the first see the trailer’
It’s such a short phrase, would have taken only a second to check/read over, and STILL it’s incorrect. This happens far too frequently. Do Better.
I too, have a “grammar” problem! There was no error too small for me to correct in a conversation. Thanks to a lifetime of experience, I now take pleasure in communication by overlooking grammatical errors and focusing instead on the content. The content may occasion a negative thought I want to address, but then, I’m discussing an idea or a fact, rather than nitpicking an error that had no bearing on whether or not I understood the content. In short, I can either have friends or nitpick grammar. I choose friends!

Thank you Kari!
I second that.
I thank you for your efforts and applaud all like you who are practicing real journalism and truth-telling. It's everything.

Yes, exactly, EL!
What a great idea to use video to show the rich and messy backstory to the book! Looking forward!

You never cease to amaze me!
Excellent promo. Somehow gritty yet professional.
Love it! I look forward to reading/watching/listening in whatever form you present your excellent thoughts. 🙏

Looking forward to this! Love any kind of media that offers viewers/readers an inside look at the work of creating media.
I think it's part of rebuilding trust in media
