Arranging the webcomic book in Google docs

I've been working on a new collected ebook for my Then This Happened... Webcomic diary series on Amazon.

For those who might be new here, "Then This Happened..." started back in May 2017.

The first year of the comic was about us dealing with the news that my wife had breast cancer.

This is the first webcomic I drew in 2017

My art style has evolved over the years, and so has our lives. And I'm so grateful for all of you who've been there along the way.

Like in previous years, in this upcoming eBook, I'm compiling all the comics from May 2022 to April 2023 into a collected edition.

The easy part, of course, is putting all the comic image pages together.

The not-so-easy part for me is always the cover and bio page. I'm currently brainstorming some ideas for that.

While finalizing the cover art and bio, I'll also be tackling the meta information for the Kindle store. But that's a whole other battle.

Stay tuned for more updates. and in the meantime, you can check out the first book on Amazon to see how it all started when my wife found out she had breast cancer.

Check out the first book!

How I use one Gmail address for multiple Soundcloud accounts

Do you know the Gmail "+" trick to use one email for multiple accounts on one service? Here's a little trick I use that works for any service. I talked about this on the podcast episode I did with artist Mortimur K . In this case, let's say I used up all the uploads I have for my free Soundcloud account . With this trick, I can open a new free account and use the same Gmail address. I don't want to create another Gmail account to sign up again. Using my one Gmail address for multiple accounts on the same service I don't remember when I learned this but you can alter the name on a Gmail address. Like, let's say mine is "tom@gmail.com". To be clear that is not my email. I wish it was, but this is just a short example. Start with the original Gmail address Add a "+" after the email name Where it says "tom" on the address I can put a "+" after that. Add a "+" after the email name After that "+" I ca

Can I Buy And Resell Copies Of My Own Book From Amazon KDP?

There are two questions that I get asked about publishing my webcomic books on Amazon KDP . 1 - Can I Order A Print Copy Of My Own Book From Amazon KDP? When I started printing on Amazon KDP I also had that question. The reason I put the books together is I was just kind of doing it for myself. I could make a paperback version of my webcomic books and then I and my family could get a copy. It didn't even occur to me that I could actually start selling the book in public. I thought it was just print-on-demand and then maybe I could order one. But when I print a book on Amazon KDP I can also get up to 999 copies and sell it on my own! I was able to get my own copies from Amazon KDP sent to me. As the author, I can get them at printing cost . So they're at a discounted price. The option to order author copies is right in the KDP publishing setup. The button is next to the book in KDP. 👇 The other question I get about publishing my book on Amazon KDP... 2 - Can I Sell My A
