Printing and Distribution
« on: October 13, 2023, 03:36:23 PM »

I really would like to make sure that the book is available worldwide.

I can't seem to find a "Print On Demand" services which would exactly that. Costs also seem to be all over the place. Distributing the book ourselves look like a lot of work and fraught with issues?

So, I guess need to find people who have had recent experience, to give advice.

Been there .. been everywhere ... and round and round in circles. Need to find someone / some people who "know".

Distribution v cost for it is the big problem ... Hence reaching out

20 bucks to ship one copy to the UK. There is no one doing it cheaply enough as far as I can see

The list by CK Comics that you have already looked at you say is definitely the best of the best.

Have you considered taking Pre-orders and then posting them yourself once printed? More work but keeps the cost down.

Would you be offering a digital edition? Sequential sold moderately well and over the piece broke even up until the last issue where for some reason I've had to do several reprints but the digital edition gained steam with every release and is still selling now months later despite #12 not coming out until 2025.

I thought it might be a fun project for the site and some of the active forum members.

BUT there was little (read for that "zero") traction so, it looks like a non-starter.

Timewise I have so much to do on our site, so I was hoping that it would gather its own momentum.

I'll just let it go for now. But maybe one day it will happen.

Sometimes these things are about timing and opportunity. Hopefully both come good for you in the future.
