Send me your writing and publishing questions!Until somewhat recently, streamlined pre-orders were only possible for traditionally published authors. Now, indie authors can also benefit from pre-orders as well, helping them with:Building Excitement and Engagement: Pre-orders allow authors to generate buzz and excitement around their upcoming book, encouraging readers to take action before the release date.Community Building: Offering pre-orders helps authors build and nurture a community by gathering email addresses and establishing a direct connection with readers, which can lead to quicker reviews and word-of-mouth promotion.Data Collection: Through pre-orders, authors can collect valuable reader data (like email addresses) that is otherwise inaccessible when books are sold through platforms like Amazon. This data allows authors to maintain a relationship with their readers post-purchase and make future marketing efforts more effective.This episode of Write the Damn Book Already discusses not only the benefits and considerations of offering books for pre-order but also the potential hiccups (and how to avoid them!) such as unexpected costs due to Amazon's handling of pre-orders through IngramSpark.RESOURCES MENTIONEDPublish the Damn Book Already self-publishing course - 25% off with code AUTHOR25Jane Friedman's Hot Sheet bestseller listPre-Order Packages workshop with Mary Belle Follow Mary Belle on Instagram: @mary.belle.booksJenn Hanson-dePaula's website (author marketing/PR)Follow Jenn Hanson-dePaula on Instagram: @mixtusmedia MOCKUP SHOTS DEALI've used MockUp shots for years to create attention-grabbing images great for social media.

Anne from Pikapi Podcast stops by to discuss the music of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity for the 3DS. While not the most popular entry in the series, it still comes with a wide array of impressive new tunes, giving us plenty to talk about. As usual, we have a game discussion after the outro. In our feedback section, we discuss the ongoing opportunity (or perhaps risk) of doing a remake of Pokemon 2000.

The story is always unfolding...In this episode of Write the Damn Book Already, I spoke with Diana Naranjo about her memoir (which is currently on submission). She recounts a pivotal moment where a professional connection with author Abraham Verghese (Cutting for Stone, The Covenant of Water) led to her first agent connection. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTSHow Diana learned to write after completing her first draftThe nuanced difference between memoir and creative non-fictionHer strategies for finding agents and the value of learning from the author community's experiences. The challenge of identifying as "a writer" ABOUT DIANADr. Diana Naranjo is a professor at Stanford University and a clinical psychologist. She's a leading expert in children's health and equity, and has written a memoir. THE ART OF FLYING is a story about growing up with her Ecuadorian father who suffered from bipolar disorder. In her journey from academic writing to creative writing, she's been as excited about the process of learning how to write and about the writing industry as she has been the actual writing. When tasked with “growing her platform” from feedback on submission as a debut memoir author who isn't “famous,” she almost lost hope. But then, in a serendipitous moment taking The Shit No One Tells You About Writing's Deep Dive course, she heard from Dr. LaToya Watkins about her writing process. LaToya is a method-writer, taking her characters to therapy. Diana thought, "Wow, now that's something I would love to do!" And that's how her podcast idea THE CHARACTERIST was born—where she is the therapist for fictional characters and brings authors onto the show to take their favorite characters for therapy.  CONNECT WITH DIANAInstagram: Guygiene lets you equip your young guy with a monthly box of confidence that introduces cool personal hygiene swag from top brands, developed just for teen and 'tween boys.

In this episode I talk about a new jungle mockup on Mastodon (and how it was received) and I talk about the workflow implementation from last week's episode. Here is the jungle mockup if you want to check it out: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@heartbeast/111926243132595207 Wishlist WASarD on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1151870/WASarD/

In this episode I talk through my process for breaking down the WASarD mockups into a workflow that will be faster inside my game engine (Godot 4). Here is a post with the first iteration of the new artstyle: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@heartbeast/111885765158360905 Wishlist WASarD on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1151870/WASarD/

Are Lighting Controls in their adolescent period? Can we be blindsided by the shortcomings of lighting controls systems? These are a couple of questions that come up while chatting with Shoshanna Segal. Clearly written intent is how Shoshanna thinks we can get to better lighting controls. If you want a “multi-layered, visually compelling environment,” Shoshanna can help you design it with a thorough specification. Also, if you want hydroponically grown tomatoes in your pantry, she could probably help you there, too. Shoshanna Segal believes in the power of light to make the world a more equitable and accessible place. She uses both the artistic and scientific sides of her brain to illuminate the spaces where people live, work, and learn because this is the way she can effect change for the greatest number of people. Years of professional practice have taught her that lighting provides opportunities to realize synergies among technology, social interaction, and commerce. Ms. Segal practices creating these synergies as a Principal at Hartranft Lighting Design. She is among the first professionals in the world to achieve the international certification CLD and is serving currently as president of the IES-NYC. Shanna firmly believes that all lighting professionals should drink bourbon (or at least brown liquor).

In a surprising turn of events, Etsy has made a major policy change affecting thousands of sellers on the platform. The online marketplace has decided to ban Print on Demand and Mockup sellers, leaving many to question the future of their businesses.

Mockup Culture is everywhere these days. We have seen things from Wes Anderson Star Wars to Gucci Spring lookbooks created in MidJourney, the possibilities are truly endless. Join Phillip and Brian as they explore the notion that we now live in a time where any dream can be transformed into reality, no matter how bizarre or outlandish. They explore how prominent brands like Telfar are embracing the concept, utilizing gamified pricing strategies to captivate consumers. As they dissect these phenomena, they unravel the concepts of "hyperstition" and "metamodernism" and examine their implications for the modern consumer. Stay tuned for some content teasers from Phillip and Brian, as they hint at what's to come at our Visions Summit in Chicago.Tonal Shift{00:09:42} “Why does Dollar Shave Club or Glossier choose a Shopify? There's an operational cost associated with selling online and it gets more expensive every day, especially the more custom software you have and the more esoteric your business model is online. By choosing a platform that imposes a constraint on you, theoretically, you can drive the cost down.” - Phillip{00:16:09} “The things that create inherently shareable content and the things that are truly remarkable and worthy of talking about are things that are building so close to the edge of possibility that it requires a tremendous amount of investment.” - Phillip{00:17:18} “What we're seeing, and you wrote a whole article on this recently on mockup culture, is this idea that actually customers and fans and audiences are now having real influence on the greater brand.” - Brian{00:26:02} “Metamodernism is when a piece of content or something is created that's both critique and embrace of something. Some of these mockups are super interesting because they are commentary, they are ironic and sarcastic, but they're also good ideas.” - Brian{00:31:01} “This multifaceted way of engaging in media and art has a direct bearing on commerce because commerce powers it all.” - Phillip{00:40:55} “What algorithmic timelines do and what generative AI allows for people to create through hyperstition is that my idea of Hermes or Gucci or Nike is no longer fundamentally the same as yours.” - Phillip{00:43:41} “It's not personalization so much as your brand is going to hit differently for different people. You need to hit the notes that say the things that you're wanting to say to that person that maybe achieve the same outcome for a different person, but it's done differently.” - BrianAssociated Links:Find out more about The Visions Summit at RICE 2023 and make plans to meet us there!Have you checked out our YouTube channel yet?Subscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more of what we are witnessing in the commerce world!Listen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?
