He was unfairly bullied and even threatened with sexual assault on /lit/, which was fucking ridiculous to read, but I think a lot of it he knows was his fault. If you sat down with a proofread copy of your book and a glass of wine, you'd have caught the errors that people found. It was like he shit the book out because he knew YouTube was a far better gig for him than writing.

Well, to be fair, it does take a few books to catch your stride, especially when we've been raised more on screens and not books, so, I think, many of us imagine in images and have to translate those into words, but, perhaps, writers previous to us did not have screens warping their minds, so the words flowed easier because they imagined in different ways. It might be difficult to write for a lot of people when they've been raised on glowing rectangles and black mirrors.

what is it supposed to be priced at? twenty dollars was a round number and seemed to be reasonable compared to other philosophy books and translations of classics. Maybe 15 would be better, there are a lot of novels around 10 to 20 dollars. I haven't had anyone give me a hard time over the price, desu.

>> No.23108914

>>23108834
$15 would be better than 20...that's for sure. but really you should lock it in at $12 or $13.95. lower, even if that means you only make a $1-$2 royalty.
you published on Feb 1st? how many copies have you sold? i guessing zero(not including friends or family)
and the kindle version needs to go as low as it can
you gotta make that decision easy for potential customers...you do that by keeping the price low

If memory serves, 13 is around the minimum amazon would let me charge for the paperback. They calculate the printing price based on a few factors, such as page size and page number, then they require you to set the price where your royalty covers that print cost (and they then deduct the print cost from the royalty). All that is to say, there is a minimum cost, not that I expected it to be a very profitable venture.

It has averaged a couple of sales a day. I didn't sell it to family or in-person friends. Just let online people/friends know about it, because they're usually the people I would usually discuss antiquity and philosophy with.

So far so good. I would like to go rustle up some book reviews from the readers, though. That way it has a kind of "stamp of approval" for people who are hesitant to read it and/or think it might be incoherent ramblings from some self-published schizoid.

I just have a visceral reaction against booktubers, which made him fair game in my eyes. To my mind real hardcore writers need to be faceless reclusive weirdos. They can't be youtubers wagging their tiny dicks around trying to look cool. My first impulse was to kill him on sight.

What is basically publishing? The ability to reach audiences (through ads) and producing hardcovers and epubs , right?
Why /lit/ dont come up with a publishing house syndicate / cooperative online? Hardcovers/ softcovers can be printed on-demand, and epubs /pdfs are compiled once. The hardest part would be to find a suitable license to publish all the works under.

Anon, I have read the introduction and the blurb. I cannot buy it right now since I'm from Brazil and in the middle of some work projects, but I promise I will do so in some months, and I hope to create a thread based on it in the future.
It is a very interesting and bold project, one of the most interesting one I've ever seen here, and I feel happy for sharing certain spaces with you. I am sure one day you children will feel proud for having you as a father as well.

Godspeed, friend.

*I should clarify the "or anything". I announced the book and told him about it, and he told me he bought it. So I asked him to post an honest review about it after reading it (he bought it via his wife's acct apparently), and he told me he posted it this morning.

So yes, you should talk to people and ask them to leave a review/share feedback directly. People will respond, in my experience so far.
