I’m the writer of “Nandi and the Castle in the Sea”. This is a fantasy steampunk graphic novel.
I wrote it as a movie script. The initial idea was to sell it to a movie studio. I realized if you just have a script, they’re going to put it on their pile of a thousand other scripts and ever look at it again.
For now, my focus is getting it into as many hands as possible, which is why I lowered my price point. Right now, exposure is my primary goal. More than just making my money back for it.
I’ve done a convention almost every week this year. Which is not the norm. I think a lot of people do a lot less. You can’t find it weekly in the tri state alone.
But if you’re willing to expand a little bit, you can pretty much find it every week. I’m trying to go all in on conventions and online sales.
If you’re an indie like me you know this is how you’re going to get most of your sales. It’s how you’re gonna meet most of the people in the industry that you meet.
Regardless of your sales, the connections you make in these places, if you’re willing to be social, are huge.
