Joyce, I see two huge opportunities here for you. #1, you should totally be in charge of Substack branded images 😂 First, that crazy hair doll with the bikini top and now the iceberg with a flag? Brilliant!
#2, Why not explore making these books FOR people? I bet they'd love to have their own but don't want to mess with the creative process. About 50% of my clients pay me to do my work simply because they don't feel like it or don't care to learn!
Kristi ... great ideas ... I've had some thoughts along those lines ... but I haven't been inundated with response so I don't know if there is interest out there. Maybe over time. It is fun planting the Substack logo in various places. ;-)
Thanks so much for this, Joyce. I loved reading about your process of how you got into flipbooks, and the making of them - what inspires and motivates you, and the invitation for us to imagine how we might use flipbooks in order to share our works or our loves/passions, even causes. This can be done on substack or on a smaller scale of just for family and close friends. I might try, next winter, to put together a flipbook. Right now I don't have the money for monthly paid subscriptions due to being sole caregiver for an old sick cat - and poor. So - no Issu for me; not this year. I'd be more inclined to subscribe to your substack. But you ignited my imagination and inspiration with this post - as so many of your posts do. Your corona wisdom book is beautiful - I loved reading the poem, the Rumi quote, and seeing what images you put with them. (i have to keep correcting typos that come from tiredness and going too fast.)
When you get around to wanting to make a flipbook, let me know and we’ll brainstorm possibilities. I know Issuu will do a 30-day free trial that might help.

Just a thought.

Well, maybe people don't know they want this yet! Maybe it's up to you to make them want it 😁
I think that's probably the case. I'm going to just keep making and sharing them.

that would be so great. I'd love that!
