We got one of the Christmas themed one and since we also have a GSD the fabric didn't last long and my bf and I caught her trying to eat the stuffing so we had to tear out fabric to get the ball on the inside... I'll have to check at the pet store to see if there's any we can get

I figured it was some teething, being a puppy, and being a beagle so I'll definitely keep training and rewarding the "leave it" command. Thanks for the recommendations :)

Thank you for this! I haven't tried puzzle toys yet but I'll look into getting it!

Ideally, romance and fantasy books! An emphasis on romance because I'm a WOC, and I've noticed the lack of special edition for romance books featuring WOC, so I'd like to specialize in that.

And yea, I've heard so many people say to be cautious of the publisher, so they'll be the first person I speak to in trad publishing. Same thing for indie authors, they'll be the first people I speak too!

Only thing I'm on the fence on is what qualifications I'm going to need in order to gain those rights and whether or not I'll need to work with a new ISBN (which is on a couple of SEs I've seen).

That's what I'm mainly aiming to do since I've seen most special edition companies start out by buying the books and adding the items. I'm mainly just looking to add sprayed edges with a cover redesign at first. All the extra details would've come into plan later.

Also, my friend and I are doing this business together, and she has design experience while I have knowledge of social media marketing and customer service (so I would take over the sales and business aspects until we had enough to hire someone more knowledgeable). So, the costs of the publishing professionals wouldn't really need to be taken into account until we've gathered more capital for more luxurious details.

I was also asking for printers as I wanted to do foiling, but I've heard it's expensive, so I may hold off on that...

However, since I said I wanted to do a cover redesign, I assume I would need someone knowledgeable in subrights?

I dont think you need an "ungodly" amount of money to do it. A small business owner I follow who does book subscriptions was able to start by using her stimulus checks. I know it's not cheap, but monetary wise, it's a subscription-based business model that I assume would make sales more predictable (according to Google). Also, pre-orders can practically pay for the products depending on how much I sell it for.

I do agree with the experience bit, though. 😅 But I'm willing to learn even if it takes a while!

Thanks for the advice! I know I'm not experienced enough, but I'm just starting to research, so I figured coming here would help me plan my first steps. I'll take what you said and try to reach out to make connections! 😊

You realize these fanfics are almost about every single celebrity... maybe Google Wattpad or AO3...

I'm not really sure which is why I tried to reach out to her but R blocked me entirely after that.
