Wannabe an eBook!!
Ooops! I made an eBook! This is something I’ve been working on for a while… Chapter 1: Wannabe, plus A Brief History of The Magellanverse, collected into an ebook with some additional artwork and notes.
If you find it tedious to click through previous/next buttons and the general pain in the butt nature of web navigation… hey, this should solve it for you! I chose to publish on Issuu because they give a very nice reading experience, with double page spreads and page turning.
And yes, I will be following this up with other chapters and shorts, finding the mental and creative space, plus the extra time required to put it all together has always been the main drag on the process. But this should give me enough momentum to continue.
It’s free to read for the time being so please check it out now – it will become a downloadable purchase in a week or so. Check it out!
That is a nice interface. I’ll share the link where I can.
Thanks, yes, as fas far as eBook interfaces for mags and comics Issuu comes pretty highly recommended. My day job workplace has been using them for their mags for several years now.
Are you going to look into selling print editions again? I never have money, but having the option to support you by getting them would be nice.
I’d often think, “Oh yeah, just pop over to Ka-Blam and put your books up through there”, but they aren’t that good in pricing perfect bound books (buying individual saddle stitched issues through them is cheaper), and most of your chapters would have to be perfect bound through Ka-Blam, since they stop their saddle stitch books at 64 pages.
Yep, unfortunately the length of most chapters means perfect binding is the only way to go for a complete volume. Given Bad Karma is 300 pages and Lock(e)down is 345 forking pages… the cost of a one-off issue full colour POD with perfect binding is quite steep!! But yes, one day I definitely do want to look at print editions. That won’t be any day in 2020 though!! 😀
I still remember when you were selling print copies once. The annoying thing with them was the limited quantity. Often I hope you can get them done at some point of the future.
Thank you for all you do, Grace; particularly the stuff you do to provide your art and stories to your hungry fans!
You’re welcome! On the list to add are…
plus…
Phew! That’s a lot of comics!!!
IKR?! Only ~1200 pages of glorious story to go! And I’m LOVING the new format and medium choice!
Just…wow. This ebook is the ideal format for your art form.
Thanks!
