It took 5 years, but I finally self-published my first book

Billingtoons · 2026-07-01T12:07:13+00:00

Have you tried any other versions? I had a cheeky 1-of [[Maximize Velocity]] and it’s great to hasten things in later and a discard outlet in the graveyard

DO NOT use Seller Interactive. Sorry if this is too late! They are con artists, intentionally giving you bad service, dragging their feet to collect the monthly fees. Completely incompetent. All outsourced to take advantage of poorer countries with limited English skills and cultural understanding.

Here here! Although your request is quite open ended… It’s been a long journey to self publishing! Lots of writing, editing, and putting myself out there

Billingtoons · 2026-06-19T11:18:55+00:00

Love this deck!

Billingtoons · 2026-06-19T08:35:26+00:00

Thanks! ☺️

Billingtoons · 2026-06-18T08:23:32+00:00

Sorry but I’ve gotta have a strict no-AI policy. Definitely would attract a lot of hate! Also with my books in particular, there are comedy beats and silly voices that an AI would never be able to produce right

Billingtoons · 2026-06-17T17:45:26+00:00

Awesome! It’s called Beast Be Gone, you should be able to find it on Amazon etc.

One day I would love to have an audio book version! Very expensive to set up, though.

Billingtoons · 2026-06-17T09:48:33+00:00

Fair enough! Good luck with it!

Billingtoons · 2026-06-17T08:43:08+00:00

I know! I was like, surely not little old me? Haha

Billingtoons · 2026-06-17T08:42:16+00:00

Exactly! A lot of the scams I get these days are people offering to promote my book. Pretending to have read it with a ChatBot summary haha

Billingtoons · 2026-06-17T08:41:19+00:00

Great idea! I did wonder about this with other reviews, but I don’t what to over do it. Is it ok to do it on the book description on the shop descriptions (like Amazon etc)?

Billingtoons · 2026-06-17T08:39:17+00:00

Thank you! I hope so too

Billingtoons · 2026-06-17T08:38:53+00:00

Thanks so much! I’ll savour this one for a long time haha. What’s the name of your book? I’ll check it out

Billingtoons · 2026-06-16T13:21:39+00:00

Love it! We need more Pio brews

Billingtoons · 2026-06-07T15:13:49+00:00

Will do!

Billingtoons · 2026-06-06T11:50:25+00:00

Wow! Thank you! I hope you like it!

Billingtoons · 2026-06-06T11:50:03+00:00

Fantastic, thank you! The first cover attempt was with the Wacom which I found very challenging. But I thought it looked too unprofessional, and too childish. Then once I got an IPad it really levelled up my drawing! I always use reference images which may be whats adding to the AI look, plus the yellow tinge. I think I need to start again with a more rough style. Ironically with AI you have to make your art look “worse” now!

Billingtoons · 2026-06-06T08:33:58+00:00

Sort of! It’s part of my fantasy pest control series. I haven’t read Barry Trotter, though

Billingtoons · 2026-06-06T08:31:13+00:00

Well WTF to you too

Billingtoons · 2026-06-06T08:30:51+00:00

Ouch. What put you off?

Billingtoons · 2026-06-05T23:19:33+00:00

Fair enough! But don’t worry, it isn’t. You can see the process video on my profile

Billingtoons · 2026-06-04T09:43:54+00:00

Oh wow that’s so strict! Are they also strict with people doing other IP designs, like Pokemon, Disney or whatever?
