Did you know we have an official YouTube channel?
It’s true—we do! And if you haven’t checked it out yet, we’d love to invite you to explore it.
Di and I launched the channel because we wanted a fun, accessible way to share what we’ve learned about writing, editing, and indie publishing, and to showcase our authors’ publications via promotional book trailers, readings, and interviews. It’s also a space where we can talk directly to you—fellow writers, readers, and creatives—about what goes on behind the scenes at Current Words and our family of publishing imprints (Old Scratch Press, Hawkshaw, Gravelight, and Out of This World) as well as our online literary magazine, Instant Noodles.
What You’ll Find on Our YouTube Channel
We keep it real and (hopefully) helpful. Here’s a little of what you can expect:
- Tips for standing out in today’s crowded market
Dianne hosts “You Wrote It; Now Sell It!” a new series that provides authors with helpful information on finding (and expanding) your audience and promoting your work and yourself. - Author spotlights and interviews
We love highlighting the authors we work with! From debut poets to short story writers with a dark twist, we showcase the creative voices that make our imprints unique. - Book trailers and more
Why tell you about our latest books when we can show you? Take a visual tour of our catalog by watching our promotional trailers and other resources.
If you’re an author looking to improve your writing, understand the publishing process, or just feel a little less alone in your creative journey, this channel is for you. And if you’re a reader who wants a peek at how books come to life (or to discover some incredible indie titles), we think you’ll enjoy it too.

As a subscriber to our YouTube channel, you’ll also get to know us—Dianne Pearce and David Yurkovich—as real people. We don’t hide behind logos or marketing speak. We’re hands-on in everything we publish, and the channel reflects that personal touch.
