Anyone want to give me feedback on the left side first page VS the right side first page?

Yeah, working on the cover and graphics for the book is a nice break from writing, it also brings out other ideas to you randomly while thinking about the imagery you're trying to create!

The media is pozzed, bros. We need to be making our own shit. Don't use Amazon. Don't use GoodReads.

Feed the counter-culture!

Write, print, bind, and sell the copies yourself!

Then you can self-express yourself with complete control.

If you want some honest help getting your shit published in paperback form, hit me up.

I believe the world will soon be desperate for authentic art.

You summoned /Lit/'s resident bookbinder fag and you're complaining?

Self-publishing is the only way a based mf'er is going to get their work out in the world in 2021.

>impossible to ever truly conform perfectly.
This is how dead internet began. People stopped interacting with others because the pressure is not worth it. So they don't participate.

Think of how many authors or writers lurk here every once-in-a-while and see a thread ripping into someone like Waldun with people dropping sexual comments about him, violent comments, I mean, most people wouldn't want to take the chance to put themselves out there like that for blind hatred.

There is a big gap between the two most common internet-brain types... Reddit and 4Channers... there is nothing in the middle for those who are positive-minded but also based in a reality that thrives when truly free speech is allowed.

Instead, you have Reddit(Echochamber) and then 4Chan(Battleground), neither good for an emerging non-globohomo author to thrive on.

Hell yes brother. The self-defeat on this website is 90% of posts. (I understand it though, modern life is supposed to beat the soul out of you, and perfectly mould you for a 9-5 wagie cagie job.)

Here's my paper choppa and my hot glue perfect binder... what you got /Lit/?

Fuck Amazon. Make your own shit, learn the trade from top to bottom. Eventually you can pay other people for their writing and sell it yourself.

Become the publisher. All these "YWNBAW" people would have all told Stephen King that his shit sucks and to kys.

Putting your book on Amazon as an ebook... feels cheap. There's something about working on the entire process yourself that is very, very satisfying. This way, you can make your own book and the total cost will be pretty close to under a dollar a book or something. Sell that shit in person a bunch, and sell them on your website.

Let me know if you want some help!
