Differences Between Self-Publishing and Print-On-Demand Services

2023.03.22 07:16 wriat Differences Between Self-Publishing and Print-On-Demand Services

The world of book publishing has evolved significantly over the past decade. With the rise of digital platforms and the increasing accessibility of self-publishing services, more and more authors are choosing to take control of their own publishing journey. However, the self-publishing landscape can be confusing, with different options and services available. In this blog post, we will explore the differences between self-publishing and print-on-demand services, and help you decide which option is best for you.
Self-Publishing:
Self-publishing is the process of publishing a book without the involvement of a traditional publishing company. This means that the author is responsible for everything from writing and editing to formatting and distribution. While self-publishing can be a daunting process, it also offers a lot of freedom and control to the author. Self-publishing allows authors to maintain creative control over their work and earn a higher percentage of royalties.
The best self-publishing companies and platforms offer a variety of services, including editing, formatting, cover design, and distribution. Some of the most popular self-publishing companies include Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing, Smashwords, and Draft2Digital. These companies offer free publishing sites and tools that make it easy for authors to self-publish their books on various digital platforms, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo.
Print on Demand:
Print on Demand (POD) is a type of book publishing companies that allows authors to print and distribute physical copies of their books on an as-needed basis. This means that books are only printed when a customer places an order, eliminating the need for large print runs and the associated costs. POD services also offer distribution services, making it easy for authors to sell their books online and in physical bookstores.
The best print on demand companies offer a variety of services, including printing, distribution, and marketing. Some of the most popular print on demand companies include IngramSpark, Lulu, and Blurb. These companies offer a range of options for authors, including paperback and hardcover printing, and the ability to print in different sizes and formats.
So, which option is best for you?
The answer to this question depends on your goals as an author. If you are looking for free publishing sites complete creative control over your work and want to earn a higher percentage of royalties, then self-publishing may be the best option for you. On the other hand, if you are looking for a more traditional publishing experience and want to have physical copies of your book available for sale, then print on demand may be the better choice.
In conclusion, self-publishing how to self publishing a book , steps to self publishing a book and print on demand are both viable publishing companies options for authors looking to publish their own books. The best self-publishing companies and platforms, as well as print on demand services, offer a range of tools and services to help authors achieve their goals. Whether you choose to self-publish or use a print on demand service, it's important to do your research and find the option that works best for you.

2023.03.22 04:35 cherry_gigolo AITA for calling the cops on a vegan toddler in my general vicinity?

I (26F) am a childfree aquarium enthusiast (this will be relevant later), and I am also really hot. I'm petite, at 5'2, and I have long blonde hair, lusty green eyes, pillowy fellatio lips, perky natural tits, and a big round ass. I have a non-hormonal copper IUD. I used to have old men at the local Quiznos try to recruit me for modeling because of my extreme hotness, but I refused because I am an antinatalist. I currently WFH as a systems analyst for a nationwide beef jerky corporation.
I live in a neighborhood that has a few children in it. I am normally pretty good about ignoring them, but I was pretty perturbed by one such child today. My next door neighbor Kelly (34F, fat and smells like cabbage rolls) has a 2-year-old who we'll call Lulu (we're calling her that because that's her real name). Kelly and Lulu were walking down the street together, and boneheaded Lulu fell and scraped her idiot knee! She began to cry! She is also a vegan. I immediately sprinted outside to perform a citizen's arrest on Lulu (she was disturbing the peace), but Kelly called me an idiot, which was very rude, and asked me to stop. I immediately called the police. Now everyone in the neighborhood is saying cruel, mean things about me and I really don't see what I did wrong! AITA, why am I being unfairly targeted?

2023.03.22 02:33 Onion_Cabbage Mini-rundowns on current best PBE comps

Short quick guidelines for some of the best performing comps on the PBE. These rundowns are mostly intended to get you on the right track if you haven´t engaged a lot with the PBE. Currently top 100 on EUW, https://lolchess.gg/profile/euw/ttvSnubletft

A+ tier: Vertical spellslingers Vertical duelists
A tier: AD admin with decent admins Nilah/Rell/Vex supers Hacker reroll Draven Lulu/Panth supers

A+ tier:
Vertical spellslingers is the highest cap at the moment, mostly because Janna is a giant win condition now because of her super buffed damage. Janna carry augment is really good now too. TF 1 star is also really stable and can get you to 8 while you stay healthy. Don´t greed the Janna buff on both TF and Neeko at once since this often gets all your carries killed at the same time. Usually you position TF and Neeko alone in each corner, with the rest of your units in the frontline and in the middle of the backline. Having Neeko same side as enemy carry is preferred as this makes her frog a lot more likely to jump onto the enemy carry. TF items: shiv, rageblade, JG, GS, gunblade/HoJ Neeko items: JG, GS, Shojin, gunblade/HoJ Sample lvl 8 board: 6 spellslingers, Fiora, Ekko/Aatrox/Fiddle/Zac
Vertical duelists is really strong early, and caps way higher now that they have better scaling due to the damage reduction 6 and 8 duelists bring, as well as TF being a stable and strong ranged carry. The best item is still locket which scales even better now with the duelist damage reduction. Your +1 unit is now Annie as she gives TF a fair amount of DMG through spellslinger and the oxforce stall on her and Fiora is also super helpful. Put Fiora and Annie on each end of the frontline so they will get focused at the start of the fight and hopefully eat a whole TF/Samira/whatever ult. Prio lockets and then TF items. TF items: shiv, rabadons, GS, gunblade/HoJ, (guardbreaker if you have shiv) Nilah items: Locket/locket/locket (any leftover tank items can go on Nilah/Fiora) Vayne items: DB, shojin, hurricane, GS, LW, gunblade/HoJ Sample lvl 8 board: 7 duelists and Annie

A tier:
AD admin is the new way to play admin. Warwick gains lifesteal and attackspeed from his passive so he really wants AD from his admin. Board is usually 4 admin (if 4 admin is good), as you want to play Blitz for brawler and LB for hacker. The good admins for Warwick are admin AD on start, AD on cast and AD on kill. The 4 admin bonus is a lot less important, but getting at least 1 AD admin is somewhat mandatory for success. AD on cast is usually your best bet as he has a reset mechanic and therefore can stack a lot of stacks quickly when hackered into the enemy backline. One thing worth mentioning is that Belveth scales pretty well with on cast AD admins too. Warwick already has healing and attackspeed in his passive so items that grant those stats are way less useful than normal. WW items: QSS, IE, titans, LW, hurricane. Sample lvl 8 board: 4 admin, Shen, Riven, Vi, Pyke/Fiddle/Asol/Belveth
Camille reroll is really good too, and plays as in set8, but with better renegade options and a secondary AD carry in Warwick. Camille is more flexible than Warwick as she uses both attackspeed and AD well. Camille items: IE, DB, Titans, BT/HoJ, QSS
Nilah/Rell/Vex supers plays exactly like the Nilah/Rell/Yummi comp except that Vex is better carry than Yummi. This comp still works the same as you now get starguardian on Nilah with only Rell on the board. Prio items on Nilah, spark is giga mandatory and redemption is somewhat mandatory. You would really love a BB on Vex so tear ends up being high prio. Roll on lvl 6 for 3stars. Nilah items: Spark, redemption, vow, titans, rabadons Vex items: BB, rabadons, AA, JG, gunblade/HoJ Sample lvl 6 board: 3 supers, Nilah, Rell, Vex.
Hacker reroll Draven plays differently than current supers Draven. I like this version better in the current meta as it can win the spellslinger and duelist matchups whereas the supers version has a really hard time with those two specific matchup's. Backline everything and hacker in Draven, usually in the middle is fine and will kill your opponents backline. By backlining your whole team you guarantee the enemy will walk up and as they can´t grief their positioning against the other 2-3 players in their pool. This usually guarantees you get a really good midgame with wins or at the very least good losses. Roll for Draven3 on 6. You really want a decent Draven admin. If you don´t get this, just play Pyke for an extra hacker or get in defenders/aegis/utility depending on lobby. 5 mech is also very good. Draven items: BT/HoJ, IE, hurricane, rageblade, LW, titans. Sample lvl 6 board: 3 mech, Shen, Blitz, LB.
Lulu+Panth supers reroll plays around 4 heart endgame cap and early power from Lulu/Panth which are both strong 1costs. Lulu and Panth are both really good at killing units early so this is surprisingly stable early. Roll on lvl5 for 3star Panth/Lulu. Push levels or keep rerolling depending on how many supers you have in excess. This comp really likes having the hero augments for either Panth or Lulu. Lulu items: BB, rabadons, AA, gunblade/HoJ, GS, JG, shiv Panth items: Dclaw, bramble, warmogs, spark, vow Sample lvl 8 board: Lulu, panth, 3 supers, Viego, Alistar, Ekko/Vi/Fiddle

If you have any questions feel free to ask them in the comments, I will try to answer all of them. You´re also welcome to drop by my stream and ask whatever questions you want answered. I currently stream every weekday from 11 CET till at least 16 CET at https://www.twitch.tv/snubletft. I will be grinding the ladder pretty hard in the next few days.

2023.03.22 00:31 UNSkies I'm a Support Main, and I feed whenever I get any other role (Mid)

I'm a support main, playing Rakan, Karma, Lulu, and Nautilus.
Whenever I'm off-role (midlane), I always feed (1/9 for example) and typically lose the game for my team.
I've tried playing "easy" champs like Annie and Veigar, but I still have no luck.
Maybe this is just the result of playing support, but I always feel like I'm going to lose whenever I'm off role. I've even tried playing ADC, but I feel like the mechanics are too hard for me.
Does any support players that get filled or mid players have any advice for me? Any champ or playstyle suggestion? Thanks.

2023.03.21 22:26 Bugalugs47 Disconnecting External Drive Problems - Fix

I read on a recent post - I can't find it - that folks were sometimes having issues if the EXT HD is pulled out before being disconnected. Here's some tips that may help you avoid a damaged HD - especially if Disc Utilities First Aid says it can't be repaired.
  1. AlWAYS make sure it is disconnected before you pull out the lead.
  2. If the HD has a light on it wait until it goes out. The light should not be flickering. It should be in idle mode.
  3. Right clicking eject on the icon doesn't always disconnect it. Check with Disc Utilities if you are not sure if it has been unmounted.
  4. Now here's the bit that may help you. If you get a warning on Disc Utilities that it is damaged and if Disc Utility says it can't be repaired Do Not Disconnect! Get a copy of OnyX from Titanium Software - you should have it installed anyway. Here's the link.
https://titanium-software.fen/onyx.html
  1. Leave your EXT HD plugged in and active OnyX. It will clean all the hanging files and junk and will close down and restart your Mac. You should then see your EXT HD on the desktop ready to remove with care. You will probably also find that Disc First Aid says it is okay!
It is better to have OnyX installed before your do anything. There are lots of bugs in Ventura and OnyX has got me out of trouble a few times. I use VMWare and sometimes it crashes when using old OS systems together i.e. Windows 8 & High Sierra - lol. I just close it an activate OnyX.
You will find OnyX get lots of good mentions along with LuLu on MacRumors. Oh.. OnyX isn't a clean up tool insofar as it will delete all your junk - be careful of cleaning tools!. It is more of a system cleanecorrection tool than anything. You can configure it which ever way you like.
Onyx is free but you might consider making a donation.
Hope this helps.
Best Wishes To You All

2023.03.21 22:17 Amazed_and_Bemused Today showed Once and for All that Jex doesn't work the way the writers claim

Just to get this out of the way, I like Eden and Evan, and I can still see potential for the pairing of Jex, but it's becoming insulting at this point for the show to tell us one thing about this pairing, and then continually showing us something else. Are Joss and Dex both very hot? Yes. Do I think that they have the potential to give us Olivia/Johnny, Lulu/Johnny, Lucky/Sam, Kiki/Griffin forbidden romance hotness? Yes. Do they currently come across as anything more than two kids playing house? No. And why is that? Because of the story and the characters themselves.
From the get go, many of us said that the story of Dex and Joss should've been that of Dex and Kristina. We were told that we were crazy and that once the drama of Jex got going it would never stop. So we waited, and waited, and waited. And now we're still waiting.
First we were told to wait until Cameron found out about them. And Cameron did, and he got to speak his mind once and then we never saw him bring it up again.....with anyone. In fact he's already forgiven Joss. Then we were told to wait until Carly finds out. She did, and gave Joss her blessing with only the slightest of warnings. Then we were told to wait until Joss found out about Dex lying to her about being undercover, she'll be livid she was lied to they said. She didn't seem to care. You know who would've been pissed? KRISTINA! Then we were told to wait until Sonny found out about them. He did, and so far, he doesn't seem to care. Perhaps he's playing things close to the vest, but right now, total snooze fest.
Then they said wait until Joss finds out that Michael is Dex's true boss and Michael finds out about Dex dating his sister. Well both things happened today and neither had the slightest of impacts. Joss wasn't all that upset about Michael trying to take Sonny down. And why is that? Because she doesn't care about Sonny or what happens to him. AND WE ALREADY KNEW THIS!!! Do you know who would've been pissed? KRISTINA! As for Michael, his reaction to Dex was really nothing more than, "well I guess this is happening. Just don't get caught." The story just falls flat all the way around. And the reason for that? The characters.
Joss: I truly don't understand what the writers are looking to do with Josslyn. I've said my piece about her regarding Cameron and her flimsy reasoning where Sonny is concerned, so I'll leave that be. But then there is Britt and her siblings. I have NO IDEA why the show thinks it a good idea to have Joss continually downplay Britt's involvement in saving her life. Is that supposed to make us like her more? No doubt some will say it's because she feels guilty, but we've seen NO signs of that guilt. Guilt is going to her memorial service, even just under the guise of supporting Spencer. Guilt is showing love towards Liesl for her loss, even just as a common courtesy. Guilt is checking in with Spencer from time to time and seeing how he's dealing with losing a friend. GUILT, is not stonewalling the police to protect Dex, a gangster who CHOSE to be a gangster. Then there's Donna and Avery. The hurt they'd feel for Sonny going away has no barring in her thinking regarding Michael's plan. Her only concern is losing her boy toy. Speaking of which....
Dex: What are we doing here? Yes, he's good looking. He wants to learn to surf. He likes his dead friend's favorite football team. That's not a character profile, that's a tinder profile. He was abused by his brothers you say? The same brothers he never brings up and we know nothing about? His CO was a bad dude? What proof have we been shown of this? What we do know about Dex is that he was a mercenary. Aka, a criminal. That's fine. GH is littered with them. And we root for them anyway. But maybe stop trying to tell us he is in fact, not a criminal? Or AT LEAST acknowledge that he isn't a very good one.
He and Sonny beat up a reporter, they got caught. Sonny asked him to pressure a juror, and he then proceeds to do so in the most public place in town, and got caught. He was told to protect Diane, and was she was promptly attacked. He was told to get Anna out of jail, and he was almost immediately shot. He was likely told to go to one of Sonny's doctors if he got hurt, but instead went to the Qs, where he could've gotten caught, wrapped Joss up in mob activity, and then forced Joss to get Carly involved in mob activity. He then finally manages to actually save Sonny from headache by pushing him out of the way of a sniper.....and then immediately gets shot forcing Sonny to save him. Then of course there's the fact that he's dating Joss after being told not to by both Michael and Sonny. And yet despite all of that, he's not on anyone's bad side except Spencer, who gets chewed out anytime he tries to call Dex out for being shady.
So I ask you, where's the angst? Where is the potential drama so many spoke of? Because so far, everything we were told to be patient about has amounted to next to nothing. And can you honestly say that that'd be the case if Joss were Kristina? A women who actually cares about Sonny? A women who would actually go toe to toe with Michael over his betrayal? A women who's mother wouldn't just bless her union with a mobster? But since none of that did or will happen, and since we all know this is General(ly) Carly, can we at least subvert expectation and have Carly find out about this plan and be the one to rat Dex out to Sonny? We all know in that in time Carly will come to be the focus of the Pikeman deal as well, so why not at least make her useful? Rant over.

2023.03.21 20:11 Larafitness Does denim forum stretch out a lot?

I am 5’3 about 120 lbs and normally wear a 26 in Abercrombie, 4 in lulu, etc. I tried on a size 25 of some denim forum shorts in store and they looked really good but they were very snug. I ended up ordering a size 26 online and I like how they fit but the waistband is a tiny bit big-but not enough for me to care. I’m just curious if they’ll stretch out as I wear them more and if so, should I get the 25?

2023.03.21 19:13 MissyAggravation17 Anti-LGBTQIA+ "Kids 4 Success" PAC school board candidates in Lane County

New PAC in Oregon, pushing the ideology that schools should "avoid controversial views from being promoted especially those that pertain to religion, family structure and sexuality." Clearly meaning, no talking about families that are anything other than straight and Christian. They want to silence voices, and make our LGBTQIA+ students feel unrepresented and unwelcome. I encourage you to speak out and be loud.
From their website, their local candidates are:
Fern Ridge: Kathleen Pizzola and Lisa McCann
Eugene 4J: Timothy (Sean) Sutherland, Grant Johnson, and Michael Bratland
Bethel: Scott Chatham and Leena Earnest
South Lane: Tina Murphy
Springfield: Geena Davis

2023.03.21 19:12 Affectionate-Care-98 Ingram Cost to print after wholesale. I lose money? Help needed

Hello! I'm setting up my book on Ingram, its not ready to publish but there's a book subscription company interested in including my book in their box set when it's released this year so I'm working out some of the semantics.
My page count is not definitive yet, but so far it's looking like at least 630 pages. It's a "New Adult" Sci-Fantasy book.
I've already done alpha/beta reading (5 readers) and am just waiting on my editor for edits. I honestly don't think much could be cut out even if I wanted. The #1 feedback I received across the board was that my pacing was perfect. I even got to watch 1 of the readers binge read it (Google Docs I can see their comments) for literally 14 hours straight. This is not to brag, just to show why cutting down on book size may not be an option without doing some serious tweaking.
On the set up page on Ingram, unless my book is set for $23 w/ a wholesale discount of the standard 55% and literally would only receive $.25 a copy OR I can set at $15.99 make the Wholesale discount 30% and profit $1.09.
Is this normal or correct? The first time I played around with the numbers, it was showing like a $6 profit and then the browser fell asleep and I had to sign in again, now I lose money or profits are insanely low.
Does anyone have any tips or advice? I've heard of Lulu or something, is that a better option? I see now how people rarely make their money back, thats insane. But also, I rarely see books this large go for over $16 on B&N even smaller names. Are they taking losses for the sake of selling books or what?
