My life goal is to be a published author and make a living from writing and I am using this year to gain experience, build up a portfolio and work on a book with my agent. I have just finished the final draft of that book, as you can see in this video. I did self-publish a book about bullying when I was seventeen which is available on Amazon (
amzn.to/3mdJKLm), but I'm slightly embarrassed by it now!
π Do you have merch? I don't have merch in the traditional sense (I can't imagine selling something with my face or name on haha!), but I do have a stationery company where I sell planners for students. These are all designed with students in mind and follow models which I've used when planning my studying. Our products are printed in pastel colours on recycled paper:

That's so cool! Welcome to the community!π As a trained bookbinder myself, I have some tips for you: - try putting the glue on the end paper instead of on the book block and the covers - glue the gauze only to the back of the block at first. Only paste the rest of it down when glueing on the boards - when covering the boards, put the glue on the cloth (works best with a big brush or a paint roller) - try not glueing on the spine of the cover to create a hollow back - most casebound books have one and it will be much easier to open the book. If you don't like that you can look into the spine, you can use the endpaper paper instead of masking tape to make it look prettier. Have fun experimenting
