Wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a quality book printer for a book (it's a novel with some black and white photos) we are going to print as a 90-year-old birthday gift. We are not interested in selling it. Just having a few copies printed. BUT we want it to be high end. Nice paper, quality print, probably hard back, though we would also look at a nice quality paperback. Price is not a major consideration. We are more interested in quality.
Hey, #Tarot folks — do you have any experience with companies that will print Tarot decks using art you supply? I see several companies online that do this now, but I’d like to hear more about the experiences of people who’ve actually used a specific service to #SelfPublish a deck. Reliability of the vendor? Quality of the cards? Cost? Thanks in advance!
Momentan mein beliebtestes Autoren-Pausengetränk: Kalter Kaffee mit Vanilleeis.
Dank @rfe habe ich auch die passende Tasse dafür im Schrank. Cheers! ☕ #autorenleben#selfpublish#kaffee
What would the users of both platforms do if Medium and Substack suddenly closed, or they did something super-shady with all of the user data and content that they both have? I wonder this most times I see either domain linked here now.
Not everyone is a web developer, I get that, but self-hosting doesn’t have to involve too much fucking around with code. Worth it to own your content for life, surely?
I've just set up this account as the server I was on seems to have died. I will have to figure out how to re-follow the interesting folks I'd found there.
I'm mum to a very queer and neurodiverse little family. We love playing #boardgames and watching #SciFi together. We also love sharing food, facts and stories with each other.

Most writers are not experts in IT or formatting and would rather spend time writing. Self publishing is really self marketing. Traditional publishers are really marketing companies, few do their own printing, traditionally a Press. Volume paper printing is now mostly China and Eastern Europe. For small numbers of paper copies it’s best value to use Lulu or a similar Print on demand (POD) company.
