ljgeoffI've got ten prints of Lewis Door, and I'm looking for proofers. Len's gonna take one with him on the boat, Ruby's gonna get one, I'm going to send one to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
anansi133, and one will go to my illustrator, Audrey.
Ok, I've thought about this alot. I know that getting a work published is a validation of the worth of the work. No one takes freely offered work seriously.
So, well, fuck that.
Though I admit that it'd be more-than-cool to have a publisher take me seriously and lay down a chunk of change, to be in a position to say that I was "published" -- it's just not worth it. I'm too much in love with the idea of free access, of saying "Here yas go, universe. Have at!"
So.
First, the podcast. Heath Patrie is a very cool, very weird genius. Hopefully, we'll begin recording next week. I'm not sure where we'll offer the podcasts. There's podiobooks, and there was another one that Heath mentioned that I can't remember. If anyone has any suggestions, feel free.
And the illustrator! Audrey will be doing a wrap around cover and some dozen interior vignettes. She is wonderful, and you will love her illustrations.
Finally, there'll be published-on-demand actual books, if anyone wants to buy one. That's were the proofreading comes in. It'll cost $500 for the typesetting, and after that, $5/book -- minimum 100 books at a time. I figure I'll sell the books for around $10.
I'd made kinda-sorta plans to go see Heath last Thursday, but I wanted to be with Len, and Mike came home, too. Tonight Mike and Len and I are going to watch a movie or something. I'm hoping that I can catch up with Heath sometime tomorrow. There'll probably be some 20-odd recording sessions. I figure that the podcast will take 6-12 months to produce.
In the mean time, there's kids and school and work and I started on LD#2 today.
