Hi folks,
As some of you may know, my best friend and I have been working on a God Tarot for quite some time now, and we're currently just over the halfway point with both book and cards. We want to start publicizing it, but are also aiming to send it to publishers such as Llewellyn... We are wondering if our chances of getting it published by such companies would be lessened if we publicized the deck on the internet?
We are also considering self-publishing a (very) limited edition of a Majors-only deck and seeing if we can get some reviews of it online: again, would this lessen our chances in the long run of mass publication?
Our other concern is (of course) theft. Whilst we can see the benefits of showing cards on a website, we are wary of doing so - not so much because people will steal the images, but because people may steal the ideas.
So, I'm looking for advice - with view of mass publication later on, what would you guys suggest as a realistic publicity campaign?
Thanks in advance,
Kiama
