Yeah, we could use our platforms to make videos and talk about it. We could even record production meetings and could also do a short video on self-publishing and the trials and tribulations we go through to do it, as a short YouTube documentary.

Across Hive, I'd say we could gain a bit of a following for doing it and rally some support for what we're doing.

5 writers with 2 stories each would be really managable, and as for the editor, if they were up for taking an even share that would be great. It would be ideal to keep it all inhouse here on Hive, which I'm sure there are artists and potential editors here.

Because this idea is beneficial for Hive, I'm sure across the whole community we could have a wit round €2-€5 each to help pay for this. If not though, between the 5 writers we could cover it.

I think I read before that 10 ISBNs are between €250 - €500, we would need one for paperback, hardback, and ebook, which would mean we would have 7 to use on the next book(s)

I love the idea of doing signings, especially at Hive events. If we picked up momentum, we could potentially get this book on shelves in a real shop, rather than relying on Amazon, which would be amazing.

There is a local bookshop in my town, and I know the people, so I'm sure if I approached them they would take a few copies.
