[Best Pictures?] newbie to self-publishing, but...
Posted: Fri Nov 17, 2017 11:00 am
Hello to everyone and thanks in advance for welcoming me. I made total newbie when it comes to self-publishing, but have been a freelance automotive writer and photographer since 1980, published in major automotive magazines in the US, plus have five traditionally published books to my credit.
I have had several regular columns in different magazines, and people have been bugging me over the years to put them in a book. But I haven't because dealing with a publisher on a project like this would be a real PITA.
Anyway, what I'm looking for is the best way to publish and sell the book. I am concerned about the quality of photographs – how they are presented – because as a photographer, I want them to look good (at least is good as anything photographed by me would be), and the stories were originally intended to be illustrated…and car enthusiast like to look at pictures. It's who we are.
Layout is also a concern because again, this would be something of a picture book. And appearances matter.
So that's where I'm coming from and I look forward to joining you all on the ride.
Ah, recycling.
I edited your post to add a TAG, as we request of all posts.
I don't think you'll get any additional information here, as you posted this same question over at CS and we are the same people who are over there.
