I went outside long enough to take this pic, back inside my COVID-safe dungeon now.

I guarantee if you perform every step necessary to envision, write, edit, cover design, pdf layout, print out, chop the printed paper, and bind the book with the cover you designed... you will feel as though you have accomplished something.

There are many steps to figuring it all out, and it will cost you probably $1000-1500 to get everything you need, but you will feel like you accomplished something. Also, you can always talk about your books to strangers at bars... you'd be surprised at how easy it can be to make new friends!

Other retard here!

I'm printing my own shit! I beg everyone who writes on /Lit/ to start producing your own work. After the last Writer's Fest I went to in Vancouver, it was completely undeniably over-the-top when it came to diversity, lgbtqxs+123zxy, refugees, being black in Canada, being trans, being trans and indigenous, being indigenous and hating the police, decolonizing, etc etc. I was at some event on Granville Island one year and each and every single speaker did a land acknowledgement. There were like 10+ people who spoke and by like the 5th I was getting pretty drunk and just rolling my eyes. The bro bartender had to hide his laughter. Like... it was fucking over-the-top. Then some woman won an award or something for her novella about a mexican refugee who converts to Islam or something, and she went off on a social justice rant. To this fucking day I cannot believe how woke the entire crowd was. Everyone. I was the only single bro there.

The solution is to print and sell your own books.
>you get all the profit
>you control everything

Just about to send some more of these out in the mail, just having some glue issues at the moment. It got over 40c for a few days last week and now the glue doesn't seem to be binding as well and I'm having pages fall out in some of the copies I was going to send out today.

Could just be the glue that was leftover in the machine has somehow spoiled in the heat? I'll add some more from the bag I have in storage and see if it works better.

Yes, the return to local books and local authors has just begun.

Mother fuckers there is an art comeback about to happen.
