She utilizes IngramSpark as part of her self publishing process and worked with instagram artist Sara Oliver (@saraoliverdesign) to design the cover for “The Stories Stars Tell”.

The Verbivore made several allusions to John Hughes movie references found in “The Stories Stars Tell”. The Ducky conversation, is a section of dialogie that focuses on the character from “Pretty in Pink”. The Cameron car scene, is a reference to a conversation between the characters where they bring up the famous end sequence in “Feris Bueller’s Day Off”.

Cami paraphrases a quote by writer Beverly Cleary. Here is that full quote:

“If you don't see the book you want on the shelves, write it.”
