Graphic novel writer David Doub was kind enough to share some of his secrets to self publishing with us in this very informative article. Read the article on The Secret to Self Publishing and comment here.

And check out his book at amazon, Dusk

Interesting, but it does still sound like a lot of work.

I think I have great stories but then I'd need a good artist. There are plenty here on this site but really do they have time to draw a 50+ page book of someone elses stories even if they are getting half the profits? Probably not.

Now if we all pooled our characters into one larger story then I think it could be done but then with so many hands in the cookie jar nobody gets much of anything for it except the knowledge that their work got published.

The article did have some good points, makes you realize what it really takes.

Time really is the biggest enemy for getting something like this done. I guess all we can do is plug away as much as we have time to do and keep learning what others do to succeed in getting their stories out there.

Well, where theres a will theres a way. I actually had some really crappy underground stuff i did sold out of two shops in Pittsburgh back in the day. This is not completely out of the realm of possibility. We just need to all quit our jobs and go on welfare then we'll have time to get these things done
40+ hours a week at work and two kids and a wife doesn't leave me with a lot of time, I do most of my drawing late night.

Welfare huh, I'd rather call it a comic book stimulus package.
