3 commercial storytelling lessons that helped me sell more fiction books
I’ve started self-publishing 3 years (so 12 years ago in internet years) and failed abysmally. My goal was selling enough books so I could comfortably take home 1-2 grand each month by the end of the year.
Mission: failed.
I wrote stories no one was interested with covers no one clicked. Needless to say, I was frustrated but eager to learn. I had consumed tons of other indie authors shooting up the

I prefer this over the first volume. Why? Because I finally "got" it--this story is about the human behaviour and not the mythical monster element--that's just the setup. It's about how humans react to something they don't understand but try to interpr ...more |

Great concept about sin which is unfortunately thrown away by the end. I really enjoyed the first half of the manwha, where the sin & punishment setup allows for compelling worldbuilding. The black and white drawing style is cinematic--the artist has ...more |

Very dark and compelling sci-fantasy story with morbid characters, degenerates and a strong souslike dark JRPG feeling. Even cooler that this comic was crafted by an Austrian from the middle of Europe. Few characters, lots of violence, grotesque figur ...more |

Great space opera about a duo--one is a female human, the other a hybrid--getting into the orbital crime biz of stealing and selling luxury spaceships. This book is even better than the first as multiple factions are involved in this clusterf*ck wher ...more |

Good spin-off from the Orbital series which is my favorite space opera comic now. Outlaws follows the sister of the MC from the main series. She's trapped in a downward criminal spiral and ends up illegally harvesting grease from giant, Dinosaur-like ...more |

Great prequel "origin" story of a tragic hero with disturbing world-building, cool black and white bio-mechanical gothic infrastructure and creepy creature design. The story is too simplistic and needed more fat. It's over too fast and leaves a "meh" ...more |

Exciting new fantasy series by Nihei who's known for creating dark sci-fi and lavish sci-fantastic structures and world-building. It starts like a classic "save-the-princess"-story but hints at a bigger conspiracy. The black and white line drawings a ...more |
