Start Here: What You’re Building (and Where You Are)
If you have a finished manuscript...or if you're at least halfway...you're in the right place. Inside this Guild, we focus on the full publishing process: - Creation (writing) - Development (editing) - Production (turning the manuscript into an interior and exterior) - Distribution (where it’s available) - Promotion (how it gets into readers' hands) That’s what we’re here to work through—practically. Please introduce yourself! Share: 1. What you’re currently working on 2. Where you are in the process: writing, editing, production, publishing, marketing 3. What you feel you need the most help with right now

AI Tells - Avoiding?
Has anyone changed their prose style because something that you love to use has become a so-called AI tell? For me it's been the em dash and the rule-of-three. Although I still use these, I find myself asking during edits "Is this really needed? How could I modify this?"
Anyone else using Github for version control of your story?
Hi, as a software developer and recently turned armature writer, i have found some really useful crossovers. For example, GitHub. I push all my my text to github, and it allows me to save version of it over time, which are available to me if i ever want to go back and see how much changed, or if I want to grab a paragraph that was accidentally deleted/removed, it is easily accessed. Also, you can save to private repos online which means if you lose a physical hard drive, the work is not lost, you simply pull request the entire novel back you your work environment. and it's free. ;) Just wondering how many other are doing this?
IngramSpark Delivery Times
I ordered a proof copy of my novella and paid a few dollars extra to expedite it. It's still taking 10+ days to get here. Is this expected behaviour, or should I complain?
Purchasing Extra Fonts
So far, I've managed to stick with one font (and typical variations thereof) for both the written copy and the cover of my book. My cover is simply one stretched color photo (300 dpi) with an overlay consisting of the title, tag line, and my name as author, but I'm wondering if anybody else is using more than one font throughout the process, and if so, how many?
