Congrats on the book release. Always a sweet moment. And looking good in that Hive gear too!

Thank you! It's been a really cool day haha. And yeah, the Hive gear is my daily hat/hoodie now - it's SO nice! Very high quality and super warm (which is nice for late fall/early winter in Canada)!

Congratulations on your first child. It is always exciting. I will be watching for updates to learn about the process.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! I have two little ones now! (5 and almost-3) They keep me plenty busy, but still leave enough time to sneak in little goals like writing a book haha.

Congratulations, man. This is huge. I hope your book sells thousands! I am very curious about what you went through in this process and I look forward to your future posts.

Thanks buddy! My one complaint is that KDP doesn't do live updates for stats. I won't have any idea how many sell today until at LEAST tomorrow. It's pretty niche subject matter but I hope a few folks grab it and like it and use it to create something really cool. That'd be just the absolute best!

I'm very excited to talk more about the process. There were little things along the way that I didn't expect or think about when I first set out on the journey to self-publishing, and I hope my experience may make someone else's journey into the space even easier!

Congratulations ! I can only imagine how much work it was to get it all together.

I'll let you know what I think as soon as the copy I've just bought arrives 😁

Also, are KDP a print-on-demand service ? If they are, I'll be interested to see what their quality is like. I've got a little idea from a work perspective involving PoD that I'm considering 😉

oblivioncubed last year

Thank you! It is Print-on-Demand, yeah. I will say the author proof copies I ordered to see how things printed and looked were really nice. Better than I expected for sure! I don't have much control over the paper type/quality or like... what inks they use, but it feels good to flip through so it's the right weight for a book and the cover is VERY crisp and vibrant.

This is sick man! Congratulations!

I'm going to pick this up, I love seeing this, and the fact that you were able to wear some Hive merch in the photo is unreal, it's a nice bit of advertisement for it.

Also, the cover of it looks sick!

Hearing about the whole process of publishing this will be amazing, and should give some valuable insight into the whole process.

Thanks buddy! It was a pretty fun experience. The cover I contracted an artist for on the good ol' gig-site Fiverr - but I'll talk more about that (and the cost to do so) in my next post, which I'll hopefully have up midway through next week. I wanted a solid week's worth of data from the KDP dashboard, so that means waiting for Monday or Tuesday before discussing it in depth.
