Yeah, so if you want to grab my books through any of D2Ds affiliates, you have until the end of this month.
But if you want to grab Awakening through non D2D or Bezos sites, it is finally up on Kobo and you can pick it up there or any of their affiliates.
And if you like (or hate it) don't forget to leave a review
@floofpaldi oh no! Sorry for your loss. Losing a friend is always tough. Please take care of yourself
@susankayequinn @Firlefanz @hiisikoloart true. Like I just took a look at IngramSpark and apparently my country doesn't support digital signatures (something I didn't know or realize until now).
So I absolutely appreciate the indie author community when they talk about things. Even if I ultimately don't use it, I can always share that information.
@susankayequinn @Firlefanz @hiisikoloart definitely. I'm not exactly stingy because of how many hoops I end up having to jump through as an author based in Kenya. So if I get a place that works, I rarely pass it up.
@susankayequinn @Firlefanz @hiisikoloart I was actually considering Kobo, but I'm still struggling to get my bank details sorted (branch location issue).
But I'll definitely check out IngramSpark
@Firlefanz @susankayequinn @hiisikoloart wow. This change must really suck for you then.
I tried using it for print distribution as well, but the page count just didn't line up for me.
@Firlefanz @susankayequinn @hiisikoloart same here. People are preferring digital copies of books more than physical copies it seems.
So I think having just one place for physical copies is fine at the moment. And KDP seems to be doing fine for that (as much as I have my own issues with Amazon and their subsidiaries)
@Firlefanz @susankayequinn @hiisikoloart interesting. I'll give it a check.
@Firlefanz @susankayequinn @hiisikoloart wait, you can publish on Google Play Store? That's news to me.
Honestly, I only really use KDP for physical copies of my book (in case someone wants one). But I really need to diversify my revenue streams (both as an author and as a content creator)
#WordWeavers May 3 Tell us one thing you love about your story.
The characters. I somehow always manage to make the weirdest bunch of characters
They can't suppress us. They can't out passion us. So they're trying to gaslight consumers into believing that AI is a better option for creatives. But anyone who has interacted with a creative knows that is bs. Heck, AI can't even handle coding.
So what I'm trying to say is that as much as big tech is trying to push passion out of the creative arts, the creative arts will never leave the passion.
@hiisikoloart me and my 10 notebooks, 30 pens and 5 pencils approve of this message
@floofpaldi man, 2Pac's words still ring true, even today. Like every time I listen to Changes I'm like "is he a psychic?"
@susankayequinn yeah. I honestly joined D2D because it was an option to KDP that wouldn't require me to have upfront investment, especially for physical copies. But now I think just keeping it digital and hoping people join my Patreon is a more viable option.
@susankayequinn this is going to suck since I earn nowhere close to the $100 and I suck at marketing myself
@susankayequinn What the, and I can't stress this enough, actual fuck?!
@floofpaldi morning! Hope your fasting goes well. I think I'll try to flesh out the lore for my world
@floofpaldi damn that sucks. All that effort just for someone to yoink it like it's their own. Wish whoever did it stubs their pinky toe right before they sit down
@floofpaldi I will!
And it really does seem like we do like a lot of the same stuff
@floofpaldi Blue Exorcist. I don't remember where I stumbled on it, but I've always been curious about it.
It is nice. I don't generally talk about my hobbies as I can go on and on about it (especially Pokemon). Also I can be a lot when I get going
