I've sorta kicked around the idea of doing a book for a few years now but never fully committed to it. Since I posted my 5/31/85 outbreak article the other day, I've heard from a bunch of people asking me to turn it into a book, so I figured I should at least look into it. I've been involved in editing/ghostwriting a few things before but never the publishing process, so.. anyone here done it? Specifically a print book - I know going the ebook route is easier and cheaper, but most of the people I've heard from are a lot more interested in having the physical object.
I have a friend who published a book a number of years ago (it only occurred to me just now that I should reach out to her, because apparently I'm a little slow.. anyway) and I think it ended up costing her like $3-4,000 altogether, which seems like way too much to spend on something I'm not sure more than a few dozen people might actually buy lol. I guess some kind of crowdfunding thing is also an option? I dunno.
Anyway, interested in hearing if anyone's got any experiences or info or whatever!
