Whenever I look at publishing books, all I gotta say is that people RLLY gotta like The Fallen for it to actually become a thing

Like I’ll try to do it anyways but there is QUITE a few things you need to do, and expensive stuff you need to pay, to ACTUALLY publish your book- whether it’s self publish or not

Like you need to buy ISBNs(?) for EACH BOOK, FOR EVERY FORMAT. You’ll need TWO for a hardcover version and a paperback version- it’s REQUIRED (like you can’t upload/publish your book anywhere without one, it cannot be sold) and it’s over 300 bucks to buy a few of them, then you need a QR code for it, then you need to pay to copyright it- like holy shit, so many steps it’s actually overwhelming

#LIKE OH MY GOD…#I WANT to publish books but I’ve never done anything like this nor idk if I’ll do it right!#Amazon apparently gives you an ISBN for free but I’ve seen people advise to NOT do that cause that version can only be sold there #like for example- I’ll have The Fallen on Amazon and once I get an actual ISBN there will be TWO different versions of my book with-#different ISBNs- so it makes looking up your book for information a mess cause there’s multiple versions of the same book (and format)-#rather than one #head hurts reading all this?? yea man I feel the same 0-0
