book with or after?
ho-ho-ho!
I have forgotten all about this valuable thread, (and I saw a couple of similar running!)
So, here I am again, in my dilemmas, and plans...
I decided to maybe do a first self run...i've been selling my tarot art for the last 2 years in a big holiday market in NY... I have a huge email list, of people who are waiting for my deck. Maybe not all of them will actually place the order, but I believe that most of them will...
So, I hope that marketing will not be too painful...
Now, I plan to start my book that will go with it in january, and decided it will be done by April (have no clue how I determined that), but this is the scedule.
The question now is, whether to wait for the book, or to go ahead and publish the deck first. The deck is done, and if I decide no more revising, then I can wrap it up in a week...and then prepress...
but, who would buy the deck, and only later the book, right???
But I can start making some $$$ in the meantime, which I will need espeacially if I have to invest here... Hm...
Could the pre-ordering do anything here?
Also, set or not set?
I totally loved the combo of Tarot of Prague... but you dear baba, seem like you have more hands on things!
I plan to keep the decks in my apartment!!!!
Any ideas?
My friend, a photographer told me:
"When I first decided to go for it and become a full time professional photographer,
I didn't know it involved only 5% of shooting!!!!!"
