Btw I wanna add here that most trans women who self-publish books are poor. They have little to no other income. This is why I do so many cover designs for free. Please support self-pub transfem authors.
Thank you for helping support other trans-femme authors. Honestly, spent last year reading other trans-femme authors, and it looks like you did the covers for quite a few of those. <3
I still haven't made much off of it, but it is a labor of love to write, even if I may not feel like I'm good enough at times. Without you and Devi supporting my efforts, walking me through self-publishing, I never would have released anything.
And as far as I'm aware, even if it's tradpub, and even if we talk about non-marginalised authors, most aren't making bank and in fact need another job to make a living… so acting as if self-publishing trans women are some sort of bourgeoisie is Very Weird.
This would be a great skill for transfem authors to have, then they wouldn't constantly sit on their incredibly manuscripts worrying that what they're pouring their heart and soul into might not be worth the time, thus depriving the world of excellence.
