Excited to be here!
I am a photographer, content creator, and author from Helsinki, Finland. I wrote my first book back in 2004. The next several books were about using Canon cameras. The series was called Better Pictures with Canon.
About a year ago, I had an injury and needed to spend two months in bed. Then I decided to make something of it and started writing a book. The content is based on my YouTube channel about street photography. Basically, I got the transcripts from the videos and rewrote them into book form.
After I had 3 chapters raedy a started selling the book by uploading the first 3 chapters to Gumroad. People could buy it then. As more chapters were ready, I uploaded a new version so that those who had bought it could get the next chapters. Every time I added chapters, the price went up a bit. When the book was ready, all who had backed it received it as a PDF.
The writing took a lot longer than I had planned. I was finally ready to publish the book on January 4th this year. Figuring out the publishing process was probably the hardest part. My book Street Photography: From Snapshots to Stories is print-on-demand and available on Amazon, The Great British Book Shop, and through IngramSpark to other online sellers. Not sure where... :)
It has been exciting and Book Launchers' YouTube channel has been very helpful. I am excited to learn more about the whole process here.
