When I wrote my book, they did an early access thing at it was terrible. I was still understanding where to take my book and iterate and I was getting people telling me it sucked. Uh ya, its not finished at all yet, just v1!
Not a fan. I mean I get Betas and access to things say a month or so before launch. But not during active development.
- Hammershaft 5y agoI mean, a book is a predefined narrative that you experience once sequentially! Much less suited to open iterative development than a game.
- Godel_unicode 5y agoThere are other kinds of book than fiction.
- bavell 5y agoWhy did you agree to try early access with a book? It only really makes sense for games... and sometimes not even then...
- dave84 5y agoA lot of the big tech book publishers seem to have early access as a feature now. I'd be surprised if the author has that much control over it.
- bavell 5y agoHuh, had no idea this was a more widespread thing. I don't really see it working out but maybe there's something there.
- jonshariat 5y agoI was a first time author and they were a big publisher, should have pushed back on it. Mentally it knocked me off my horse for a bit in making good progress on the book.
