Excellent response video! You got me thinking about the tell-tale signs of a self-published book. One thing I have noticed (and this goes back to the self-publishing of the early 2000s) is that the editing can be TRASH. Just atrocious. Newbie authors don't know the first thing about grammar or making revisions to their work. It really shows. And there is a lot of outright THEFT of other's materials, especially with items like adult coloring books. It's a sad state of affairs, because people are just out for the cash. It's cool that you are a traditionalist as far as publishing goes. I have an idea I have been working on for this year which I plan to traditionally publish...but through a "backdoor" methodology. I will let you know more if it pans out, but I am hopeful something will come of it. I too would like things published properly, and not some haphazard crap you throw in a PDF. As far as AI goes, I would consider using AI to generate some images for the cover or internals of my book, but I would definitely say "these images were AI generated".
There are genuinely really well-done self-published works - not just quality content, but competent grammar/formatting too. But the sheer volume of work with minimal effort and BLATANT mistakes is staggering!!! YES the adult coloring books, those are an EPIDEMIC!!!! I love when they say they’re AI generated too - so you put minimal effort into stollen images, reduced it down to line-work and thought no one would notice? Interested to learn more about your own publishing project and how that works out for you! Very mysteeeeeerious 🧐
I technically do, but I post exactly once a year and don’t keep up with it. I have a video from a few years back on why I don’t use insta anymore, but it boils down to productivity/mental sanity reasons.
