Is there good profit to be earned by churning out books and shilling them on 4chan?
Gardner said 4chan ads are cheap

>>20409971
I'm sure he's had his ads up for awhile so he must be making something

>>20409964
Start with the Greeks

>>20410253
>not starting with Call of the Crocodile

>>20409964
Are we still doing this Gardner?

Is this the approved shill thread?

How many people have checked out your book from the library? I assume those are library stickers. Also how many sales have you had?

>>20410585
Sales: both books combined it must be getting towards a thousand copies now.
Library borrowings: pretty steady, there's about a dozen copies in various libraries and they get checked out pretty regular.
I am still nowhere near being able to quit my day job of course.

>>20410609
What are your books about? Sale them to me. I refuse to be beaten over the head with the tired tale of "racism is bad"

The first book (on the right in pic) is a collection of stories loosely based on my years living and working in remote roadhouses in various parts of Australia.
Second book (left side in pic) is more mixed. Stories based on my time in the Australian Army, stories based on my misspent youth etc.
I'm heavily influenced by writers like W. Somerset Maugham and Charles Bukowski.

>>20410650
That sounds decent. Happy to hear a non diversity hire writer is doing good for himself.

>>20410625
>Sale them to me.
Two for twenty, or three for twenty-eight.

>>20410661
I got knocked back by several publishers early on because of a lack of diversity. It seems you are more likely to have a successful literary career if you conform and say what they want you to say.

I just read Limbo's Rainbow and I'm writing an extensive review. Realistically, it is a waste of time to read any of these as you will only be stupider for having done so. The books have no value and they're not horror books.

Call of the Arcade and Jigoku are amazing.

Frank, give it a rest.

>>20411178
It’s really a testament to your poor writing skills that even your shilling is bland, repetitive and uninventive.

Is this the certified /lit/ schizo thread

>>20412787
the genre is called 'schizo lit.'

>>20409964
You don't.

>>20412787
redundant term

>>20412787
4chan shriller fiction is a genre all it’s own. A genre that defies description, self-reflection, and even fundamental good taste. But anyway, The Savage Green is a surrealist adventure story set in the Florida panhandle, wherein a paramilitary contractor is hired to track down a rogue scientist who has gone missing in the deep tangle of kudzu and thornery which lines the highways of the Deep South, known as The Savage Green. Along the way, he finds himself fighting viscous wildlife, hostile locals, and powerful supernatural forces. Free PDFs & epub available at zulualitspa@gmail.com

Your journey with Gardner begins with regret and ends with a trip to the wastebin.

Any order you want!

Welcome to the club my friend

>>20409971
I got a few thousand plus a GF out of a book that only took me two days to write. So, I for one, am happy.

>>20416556
Do tell....

>>20416736
lurk moar

>>20416773
Are those your fingers are you a tranny

>>20410239
are there really ads for these books at the top of the page? I've never seen them

>>20409964
by turning 360 degrees and walking away from them

>>20416556
Was your "GF" actually born female or are you sticking it in a poop wound?

>>20417202
if you turn 360 you will keep walking in the same direction

>>20409964
I gave up on this book about 60 pages in. It's an OK idea for a book, but the writing style is really bad and I just couldn't get past it. It was just exhausting to read.

Pic related is an actual quote from the book, page 7

There's also this weird repetition of unimportant words sometimes four or five times within the same paragraph that's super noticeable, like "place" or "said" that make it seem like it's written by a kid. If that's deliberate then good job, I guess but it was just too much for me.

The pokemon one

For your sake I hope this is bait.

>>20420762
What is that fucking ”logo” in the corner? Is this unironic gang weed meme tier shit?

>>20420929
It’s the crocodile from Call of the Crocodile. i guess Gardner uses that as the logo now.

Are there pdfs of these books anywhere? I read an excerpt from Call of the Crocodile and it was genuinely the worst writing and prose I've ever come across, but it left me with a morbid desire for more.

Gardner I know you're reading this and I WILL read all of them FOR FREE and there's nothing you can do to stop me

>>20421147
I think they’re all free already on kindle unlimited.

>>20409971
I make about 14 grand a year selling books and an additional 12 grand from government grants. Took 7 years to get to that point with 3 books.

Start by opening the lid of your trash can.

Call of the Kappa because it’s summer.
