There have never been so many options when it comes to printing books nor so much overwhelming advice. Let's break down everything you need to know about printing books
I have been waiting for this for years. FINALLY, a peek inside how some of the printing world works. I learned so much and now feel more confident in taking steps. Thank you!
For a long time, Lulu had a negative reputation among indie publishers. I haven't looked into this in the last decade, but I'd be curious to hear your impression of Lulu's quality.
I hope so. The mission of this publication is to give people agency. I have done a lot of work on Substack specifically, but the truth is that I have no loyalty to Substack. I have loyalty to author having more control over their careers.
I spent the morning building a new wordpress site for this publication just to see what it would entail, and I have an article coming out about how to make an author website.
In general, this site is way, way, way too focused on succeeding on Substack, when Substack is a very small part of an author career.

The issue with lulu was never about quality. It was about price. They are still expensive. Their quality is still high.
I don't know where I would keep all of the books! I think this is something I would consider once I see an increase in sales.
There are fulfillment houses and storage units, too.
Basically, you're helping all of us build our future as writers ☺️

Yes, my Substack is about communicating with my audience and working my work. And I'm very thankful for the people here helping me do just that.
