I was surprised to see that this was a self-published book. I thought everyone had an agent or publisher.
We’re not really the kind of publisher to make our own books. Instead we buy books from other publishers or authors ourselves. A collection of self-published books makes our books even better and helps us to be a better book publisher.
Not only is it great to have our own self-published books, but the book is even better because it was also self-published. Not only that, but the book is also a collection of short stories from other authors. That means our readers are getting a mix of ideas and stories from a range of authors.
In the same way that the self-published book is good, the collection of self-published stories is even better. You can even add a section called “SFF” to your collection to make it even better. The reason you should add “SFF” is because you can make a collection of all your stories and make it into an eBook, which you can also make an ePub, and you can easily publish this way with ePub Publishing.
If you aren’t self-publishing, you need to think about getting a self-publishing partner. Most self-publishers have a system called “open publishing” where you can share your stories, not just with people you know, but with anyone. I have a good friend who is an online publisher for horror stories, and she offers this service too.
Self-publishing is the most straightforward way to get your stories out there, but you need to think about the business side. Most of the self-publishers I’ve talked to offer a “guaranteed revenue share” scheme. This means you are basically paying them upfront to make your book available to everyone. This means you are paying for the business that pays the writers for their work. You can see how this works in a big publisher like HarperCollins.
This is great for those horror writers who want to put out an ebook or paperback and can control the payment terms for the book. But on the other hand, it could make it harder for readers who don’t have the money to spend on the book. So if you are making money through self-publishing, make sure you understand what you’re doing and why.
We’re not saying that self-publishing is evil. In fact, we’re in the minority of people who view it that way. But we do see it as an opportunity to make a living off your writing. Some self-publishers have made the mistake of believing that the only way to make a living without a major publisher is to make a living without your own writing. They end up making a living by producing a few horror short stories and then selling them to other horror publishers.
We, on the other hand, have a big dream of publishing a few books each year. That dream is what drives the sfv collector’s edition of our game we are currently working on. We are going to do it not because we want to make a profit on our game but because we want to do it because we love it. We are not going to do it for the money. We are not going to do it for the acclaim.
In this collector’s edition, we are going to include the original sfv by the three founding authors. We are also going to include a full color PDF of the complete scenario, as well as the original sfv from the game. It will be available in multiple languages and will ship in December of this year.
