Hey there. I'm Gregory, an author, and ttrpg designer. More info at gregorywunderlin.com
Hah, that's so cool, thanks friend. I'm really glad you enjoyed it tbh, that's probably one of scariest things as an author.
Welllllll if you like Adult Fantasy, explosions, maybe too much world building, and swordfights this might be up your alley: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CCYLTQRM
Hey thanks!
The industry is 90% persistence. I'd keep trying if I were you. It can take years before anyone bites.
Oh I feel that. I got 90 agent rejections before I moved to pitching small presses directly. The process sucks for sure.
!!!! I hope you love it!
Can never have too many edits--have you thought of sending it directly to small presses? There's a fair few of them out there, and most don't require an agent to submit.
Potentially, if it sells enough copies it will--that's a decision my publisher makes. Tbh this thread has helped a lot with that.
I'm actually dyslexic myself. The trick (for me) is ereaders. Make the font freakin' huge and it helps a lot.
I do, yeah! I publish 3rd party content for D&D and write adventure modules for a gaming company.
That makes you one of my favorite people, huzzah
It's absurdly convoluted lol
Oh, that's legit. Love being able to get it out there basically for free.
Finishing is the last stretch tho. Once you get past that revisions are easy peasy.
I'd rather pay money I don't have than even consider AI art. It isn't even remotely as deep or meaningful, and AI is so soulless. I'll champion talent and practiced technique always.
There's A LOT of things to consider. For me, small pubs let me keep a lot of control, and I don't have to wait years for something that might not happen (I'm impatient). So, your first real choice is deciding what path works best for you: self pub, indie press, or trad. It's late here and I'm off to bed, but please feel free to ask any questions and I'll answer them when I can!
Query letters suck. Agents don't want the same thing. Some want personal, some want objective, but most of them are looking for saleability over EVERYTHING. In all honesty, if you don't have a trend book, an audience, or some other draw, their interest in you is minimal, even with a great book or amazing query.
Wouldn't mind at all, no! To be honest with you I got about 90 agent rejections, with 3 full requests, but I was submitting to small press publishers at the same time. I submitted widely, and it really came down to either going the long route of submitting to larger publishers via an agent (can take years) or getting immediate traction with a small pub.
Unfortunately no, I can sell my physical author copies but the digital copies I have are ARCs and only for review purposes.
She's actually wearing sirwal, which are baggier pants. She takes them off a corpse after escaping a runic prison!
This thread has become immensely valuable, thank you!
Yes! Stellar review also!
Can't wait either, thank you so much!
To be 100% honest I've actually never heard that before, so you really did nail it.
...yes.
+1 friend, having someone think my stuff is valuable enough to buy is invaluable in itself.
Fantastic artist, love his stuff.

Honestly, my publisher and I make more off physical books, but I am 100% a proponent for whatever format works best for you!
There's both!
