I'm building the other part of the equation, ie how to find and hire great editors and artists. Would you be interested in doing a skype call sometime?
I think if we can work together somehow we might be seriously able to make self publishing easier and Still facilitate high quality editing and art work.
I sent an email to Peter already and I'll send you an email tomorrow when I get up. Gnat. My email s in my profile.
- amerine 15y agoThere seems to be a growing number of people using 99designs for cover designs. Are thinking more along the lines of matching up illustrators/artists to authors for art inside the books?
- keeptrying 15y ago99designs has a lot of problems. The competition aspect is the main one. IT seems to draw the less experienced artists or ones looking for work. If 6 artists apply and do work for a competition, only one gets paid. I have seen lots blog posts from artists who dislike this. I'd like to bring out the more experienced ones, with a deeper portfolio who are looking to build their reputations rather than do quick designs for someone.
- bhewes 15y agoHow are you looking for Editors? I know plenty of underemployed editors. Many with years of experience. Do you pay market rates?
- keeptrying 15y agoThey build their own reputation on the site and authors can inquire to editors on the site about rates. The site is not launched yet - I'm in private beta and will probably be there for a while. I'd love to interview these editors and get their feedback on my site. You can email me at railsnoob at yahoo dot com if you'd like to talk further. Thanks.
