Anytime! :D I'm excited to pick up a copy!

Yeah-- I think most PoD's are awesome for novels (even with spot illustrations) but super butts for comics. Mixam has a fast turn-around and a low minimum order if you wanted to test the waters (def go for the cover lamination tho, otherwise your books will scuff sitting still, hah.)

Happy to help! I dunno how deep you are into Amazon's PoD but I do think you can find better quality (probably on Mixam). To be clear tho, those Amazon ones aren't the WORST I've ever seen, and you can definitely sell them.. but I don't think they match up to the quality of the art/story.

Ugh, print lines. :/ It does your work a disservice, I definitely wouldn't call that acceptable. May I ask, who did you print with? I recently used Mixam for my (full color) soft covers and was pretty pleasantly surprised by the quality for PoD. (For non PoD, PrintNinja is my go-to, tho $$)

(Oh and.. it's page 394 that I posted, not 320 or whatever, hah.)

Godspeed! The Coyote’s Plight

Hah, yeah. Scattershot when I post it, but yes.

Oh, good! Glad to help! I don't know of any guides but Google forms itself is pretty straight forward, very customizable to the kind of questions/info you need. Easy to test, too. For commissions, I'd recommend including your ToS with a little checkbox "I've read the Terms of Service" on the form.

I think what you may want/like is a common method in the art commission scene, which is a submission form + email. You post the submission link and people fill out the form, you get an email, you peruse/send invoice(s). Google has simple submission forms (but there are other options if you want.)

Also, dropbox has integrated AI into everything, which is just something to be mindful of.
