THIS IS MY MOST FAVOURITED PREMADE COVER...But it's still yet to find a forever home :(
Isn't it GORGEOUS?
I know people get weird with generated images, but seriously it allows me to provide you high quality AWESOME book covers when usually I have to use standard stock providers (many of which now are rife with "AI" stock anyway--but more to the point are EXPLOITIVE). Allow emerging writers to get their foot in the door and noticed--so when they do have the cash, they can invest in the expensive (for a good reason!) artists that will take them to that next level.
obviously a lot more complex on that, but that's like the quick 2 cent version of it.
ANOTHER BTS WHAT?! Yep. It's a thing. Just accept it.
Buy me a half day of writing. Buy yourself a cover.
It's a win win deal honestly here ha.
Now, the question is do I switch profiles and write more Good Omens Meta or do I deepdive WWTDS? No joke, I got into a week discussion on Reddit when someone found my months old COMMENT (not even a post!) and was like--plz more, I have the ideas and want to know if they're the same as yours. It was a lot of fun and I think I need to message that person and see if they're still around and this is entirely random sorry for my tangent.
BTW I HAVE MAJOR CLEARANCE GOING ON FOR LAST EOFY DESIGNS WHO ARE DESPERATE AND LONELY FOR THEIR OWN FOREVER HOME
Go have a look around. REAL discounted ebook cover designs in there just wanting to find a home (and hopefully pay me to allow a half day of writing. Girl getting desperate for some writing time).
literally just saving this for me to read later, but also you're welcome if it helps you--this is seriously a gem after getting into a sticky patch with D2D's crazy print costs
Every time, you guys. Every time I look into alternatives to Lulu.com for self-publishing I come up with “Wow Lulu really is the best of a bad set of options, huh?”
Recently, Draft2Digital bought Smashwords in order to bring a print book company under their aegis; they’d formerly only done ebooks. I thought I might investigate them as an alternative to Lulu, which I’ve used for about twelve years now. For ebooks I would venture D2D is probably top of the line. For print books they are….not.
I’m writing this out half so other folks can see it but half so that in the future I can look this up and remind myself of why I’m still with Lulu.
TLDR: Not only does Draft2Digital want 60% of my print book royalties where Lulu takes 0%, and $30 for a proof that costs me $11 at Lulu, but I also appear to have solved the problem of why Lulu was making me price my books so goddamn artificially high. Which is like. Honestly the best anti-anxiety drug I’ve experienced this week.
