Self-publishing: Playing the Long Game

Posted on December 12, 2023 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Self-publishing: Playing the Long Game

2023 has been about me making broadstroke creation moves, playing the long game the key component behind each stroke.

There is a reason I’ve been regularly posting videos to this site despite it being about a writer/artist amlnd books and comics.

There’s a reason behind setting myself up and creating content for various platforms.

There is a reason behind why I constructed Patreon 2.0 as I did.

The list goes on.

What you’ve been seeing on this site over the past year are groundwork foundation-laying moves that will aid 2024. You can’t build a house on sand. You need concrete.

This is PROJECT REBUILD 2.0 and it’s working.

Every action I take, and as I’ve mention in my newsletter, are meant to help Future Me along with Future Works which, in turn, help Future You, dear reader.

A lot of PROJECT REBUILD 1.0 was more theory-based and planning-based versus actual execution of the theory. PROJECT REBUILD 2.0 has been the execution of 1.0.

As I state in the below video, there is method to the madness.

vLog – Method to the Madness

2024 is looking to be a fairly big year self-publishing-wise. Lots of titles, so at present I’m mentally mapping out the year in terms of how to release everything and when.

But that’s 2024 and we’re not there yet.

2023 will continue, and finish, as it has been thus far.

A new content schedule will be created for 2024, but as of now, this schedule will remain.

Thanks for tuning in this year.

More to come.

Peace.

Zomtropolis and Giganti-gator Death Machine Bestsellers

Posted on December 5, 2023 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Zomtropolis and Giganti-gator Death Machine Bestsellers

As per my distributor (Ingram), these two recent releases have been my bestsellers last I checked. I’m really proud of both books because they allowed me to explore the two areas of the monster genre that I really like: zombies and gigantice creatures. To see that people are picking up these books (and in print, no less, in this eBook era) is truly gratifying. At the end of it all, I just want people to read my stories.

Thank you, dear reader, for making ZOMTROPOLIS and GIGANTI-GATOR DEATH MACHINE bestsellers.

Grab your copy of ZOMTROPOLIS: A RECORD OF LIFE IN A DEAD CITY in paperback or eBook here:

And snag a copy of GIGANTI-GATOR DEATH MACHINE: TRIPLE FEATURE in paperback or eBook here:

And if you’re needing your superhero fix, lots to choose from in the CANISTER X BOOK AND COMIC SHOP right here on the site. Multiple vendors to choose from as well.

Peace.

Patreon 2.0 Hits November 13, 2023

Posted on November 9, 2023 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Patreon 2.0 Hits November 13, 2023

It is true.

It is time.

Patreon 2.0 launches this November 13. I’m aiming to premiere the trailer Sunday evening then do a full-blast posting Monday to launch the page and invite one and all into the PATREON REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS.

There are two tiers and they’ll be displayed in full on launch day, but to sum them up, they are:

Tip Jar: $1. Just a general tip to help me along in the art world with my deepest thanks.

All-Access: $5. For just five bucks a month you get everything content that I put on the Web plus the following just for you:

Artwork only revealed here. Nowhere else. Public art is here.

Learn what goes on behind the scenes in bringing you books, comics, art, podcasts, videos, and more. (This is stuff I don’t talk about or show openly.)

Entertaining and/or informative videos made only for patrons.

It began with GIGANTI-GATOR DEATH MACHINE and continues with TWO other running serials.

Photos taken EXCLUSIVELY for this page. Sometimes I add my own sparkle, other times not, but they’re always interesting.

Quick little notes or did-you-knows just for you.

Usually bits of info that are hopefully insightful or useful.

For those interested in the craft of storytelling through various mediums, both the creative side and the business side.

Like the Quick Notes, these are intended to be helpful.

And there you have it. If you were a previous patron, you know I always deliver content on time without excuse. As well, if you were a part of Patreon 1.0, please get in touch.

Caught in Black Headlights: An In-between Book?

Posted on October 31, 2023 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Caught in Black Headlights: An In-between Book?

ZOMTROPOLIS is gonna be out soon and then I’ll be neck-deep in THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA writing three books for that before releasing them so my readers know for certain the story arc I’ll be doing will done and complete in 2024.

I’ve been picking away at CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS for years. It’s a poetry book, my fourth thus far. Poems about life, observation, some feelings. Trying something new with my poetry style. I think what’s going to end up happening is I’ll be airing CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS at Patreon 2.0 as in-between book, a pre-online publication alongside ZOMTROPOLIS, which is being serialized there.

All really depends how much I have to say because poetry is about saying something, hopefully something with meaning and some sort of impact.

We’ll see.

In the interim, STILL ABOUT A GIRL is coming back out so you can get your poetry fix through that in the meantime.
