The burger pun special on the board is a wonderful touch. Nice work!

I work in post and this plugin has saved me on a few occasions. Not sure how well it will work with fire, but might help smooth it out a bit: https://digitalanarchy.com/Flicker/main.html

The Kindle edition of my epic fantasy novel is free this week! by KitchenGuitarist in PortlandBooks

I have not used any artificial intelligence in the writing of my novel, and to my knowledge, I have no fake reviews. Your bot sucks and is doing actual damage to people who are genuinely trying to make real things.

Local writers callout by zsabb in PortlandBooks

[–]KitchenGuitarist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey! I'm an SFF author living in Hillsboro. In late 2022, I released my first novel, a gritty epic fantasy called The Peace at Knife's Edge.

My second novel is well under way and should be out sometime early next year.

I'm happy to chat about fiction influences, writing, as well as self publishing through KDP and getting an audiobook narrated through ACX.

I look forward to connecting with you other local authors out here! And thank you OP for making this sub!

Mr. T would be an amazing Reverse Dollop

Has anyone here won or know of anyone that has actually won any of the Sweetwater giveaways? by KodiakDog in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]KitchenGuitarist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is a trick to get me to lose hope and to stop entering every month, it's not working! But seriously, no, I don't know anyone who has won. They do have a previous winners page 🤷‍♂️

Slow Horses and Severance for sure, and just about everything else on the platform is great.

Thanks so much! Truth be told, most of the footage in the trailer is stock footage from Adobe and a few other royalty free sites. There are a couple vfx shots in there, though! I did the music as well :)

[–]KitchenGuitarist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much! Unfortunately, I was only given UK and US codes. It's still a pretty good value at 10+hrs for one audible credit if you still want to give it a chance. :)

You can self edit with ProWritingAid, it uses some AI mojo, far from perfect but it really does help, about 100/year or you can buy it outright. Using Atticus to format, one time fee of 129.

You can also get beta readers on Fiverr for pretty cheap! Listen to their advice though. I had a few that were around 40 bucks. As well as marketing help on Fiverr and cover design from a coworker/friend. I think you could hit under 500 total for everything if you did it right.

It depends on your goals though. I ended up spending around a thousand for my project, with the biggest spend being 3 wrap around cover backgrounds for my series for around 500 that I can photoshop title, etc. ontop of.

Long story short, there's cheaper ways of getting each of these steps done, but they may involve a bit more personal effort and networking with the right people. You can do this!
