A collage-style โstarter packโ titled โemily is my favorite brontรซโ starter pack, representing fans of Emily Brontรซ and Wuthering Heights. It includes: Pinterest-style mood boards and collages featuring quotes and images from the novel; a photo labeled โrainy days are my favoriteโ; a book cover of Wuthering Heights; a teacup and saucer labeled โpetrichorโ; black combat boots; an open creative journal with plants; a camera with colorful film rolls; a green pin that reads โHalf Savage & Hardy & Freeโ; a Kate Bush cassette tape; a quote card that reads โI have to remind myself to breathe โ almost to remind my heart to beat!โ; a pair of black headphones labeled โblack cat energyโ; and a silhouette of bare tree branches. The overall mood is moody, artistic, romantic, and introspective.
Much like her namesake, the mighty Brontosaurus, Emily Brontรซ towers over the canopy of the literary landscape. From her lofty vantage point in the canon, she peers into our minds, souls, and hearts, laying their contents bare on the page and leaving us forever changed. ๐๐

When I find notes in the margins of my second-hand books:
As long as you spend what little money you earn on non-necessities like wine or sweet treats, it's not only glamourous, but outright romantic ๐

Hang in there! Being a creative is tough, but we need people like you more than ever! ๐
That's awesome! It's a journey to be sure, but an empowering one. Good luck! ๐
Good luck with publishing, whichever route you end up taking ๐ช

We can't speak for the authors who've used our platform obviously, but feel free to have a peek at our website (link in our bio because it feels a bit advertise-y to just plonk it down here).
Full disclosure: we do offer Amazon as a sales channel, but you can toggle that off if you like!
Ok, so normally we don't slide into people's posts to self-promote, but since we might actually be able to help you here we are making an exception! We're an EU-based selfpub platform, but we print and publish in the UK as well. ๐
Sounds like our dad when we only got second prize for our science fair project. ๐

The only remake we want to see ๐ช

Reverse Tropes. An open book with text: 'The main characters use their powers of speech to clear up the misunderstanding before it spirals out of control.' There is an icon of a card with two arrows forming a loop.

We wish we could take credit for this awesome concept, but we got the idea from @katebrown__19 on Instagram, and were really excited about adding our own take. What would your favourite reverse tropes be? ๐๐

Infographic comparing Print on Demand (PoD) and Offset Printing for book printing. The infographic is divided into two sections: Print on Demand on the left with a blue background and Offset Printing on the right with an orange background. Print on Demand: No minimum order quantity. Delivery in a few days. Make changes to the content as you go. No need to have storage space for surplus copies. Ordering what you need results in less waste. Higher price per copy, but barrier to entry is lower. Ideal for self-published authors. Offset Printing: 400+ copies minimum. Delivery times can be up to a month. Changes are slow and expensive. Need space to store large quantities of books. Fixed order quantities lead to increased paper waste. Low price per copy due to quantity. Ideal for publishers. Each section is illustrated with a cartoon character handling books, emphasizing the differences in printing methods.
Many self-published authors stick to ebooks because printing books can be expensive and logistically challenging. We're here to spread the word about print-on-demand and answer your book-printing questions! ๐๐
