This Week at a Publishing Startup: Decisions


This week in a #publishing startup: a week of decisions. Doing the calculations, I found out that to make the potentially 480pg illustrated 8x10 hardcover Series 2 "The Owl from Oblivion" economically feasible to sell, I would have to have a 5000 book print run with 1900 books being received by people contributing $60 to my planned Kickstarter.

This is a blog where I talk about my Children of Sophista book series. I released on October 1st the first book of a four novel length part serial storyline, “The Saeshell Book of Time” --- one story in the Children of Sophista series.

It means a wiring that produces high intensity --- intense over the top emotions, intensity forcing obsessions with projects I've latched onto, empathy that sometimes gets me into trouble, differences in how my senses perceive the world. I share all those experiences here, and the characters in my books exhibit those intensities.
