I'd recommend reading Devon Eriksen on Twitter and how he handled publishing. He tried taking his sci-fi book to a traditional publisher, who wanted stupid changes. He said screw that and self-publish...
@BroDrillard @Pilgrim, Wayfarer, Malcontent @nprofile1q... @Special Guest Star @Rocket @Blurry Moon @RedTechEngineer I spent 8 hours listeningbto this audiobook and I like it a lot. science fiction is full of Han Solo types, but I think Marcus might be my favorite one of them all.
his story about being stuck with this rich bitch (who is shockingly likeable; that's how I know the author isn't a feminist) that he's developing a romance with and the ai hologram girl he adopts as a daughter is a fascinating and emotional one, something that many sci-fi authors fail at. there's also a great tense action scene at one point that uses a lot of scientific jargon in a believable way. I should look up the terms and see if space actually works that way.
I wonder what the changes the publisher demanded were. more anti-white male bullshit and more pro-fag bullshit (more than the merciful zero amount that the book has so far), no doubt.
he deserves money and I will give him some for making a high-quality, unpozzed novel in the Current Year. even the audiobook is a fine production with great actors and sound design. there's a scene where two characters yell at each other at the same time, each in one side of my headphones. love it.
