This is fucking awesome! As an author I can tell you, it’s annoying to try to get 3D mockups of your books. I usually hire someone on Fiverr, but the results are inconsistent. So glad this exists now. I’ll use it for the book I launched thi

I got the inspiration for this book when I started writing Design for Hackers 10 years ago (I got my book deal thanks to the HN community). I couldn’t figure out why nothing I had learned about productivity had prepared me for writing a boo

This can also be useful for habit formation. For example, in the book "One Small Step," the author tells the story of a client he told to stand on her treadmill every day. She was not to even turn it on. Only to stand on it. A

Thanks for reading and for the thoughts, Andrew! For sure I have overlooked opportunities to market the book without ads. Unfortunately, I don't know which ones. Maybe I'll try a spending freeze at some point so I can isolate what

Thanks for reading. I'm pretty open about the fact that "bestseller" is relatively meaningless, but that I use it anyway. Some people will say that you only have a "real" bestseller if NYT or WSJ say so. And, as des

Thanks for reading and commenting. As for breaking down the $50,000, what did you have in mind? It was simply selling 16,000 copies. I suppose I could break down every foreign rights deal and what was ebooks vs paperback, but given the repo

Do you not think, as discussed elsewhere in this thread, that I would make more money if I did provide a discount? I don't want to enable the bully.

Right, it probably is more profitable for me to offer student discounts. My choice may have a lot to do with the distinction between being an independent creator and being a large company. The large company is probably more likely to take t

Do you not believe that sometimes a principle – or something you believe in – might be more important than profit? For example, if it were legal and profitable to sell babies to whomever wanted to buy them (no background check), would you s
