Questions 111: Swag Profit Sharing - The Every Day Novelist

jdsawyer

After a childhood in academia, J. Daniel Sawyer declared his independence by dropping out of high school and setting off on a series of adventures in the bowels of the film industry, the venture capital culture of silicon valley, surfing safaris, bohemians, burners, historians, theologians, adventurers, climbers, drug dealers, gangbangers, and inventors before his past finally caught up to him. Trapped in a world bookended by one wall falling in Berlin and other walls going up around suburbia and along national borders throughout the world, he rediscovered his deep love of history and, with it, and obsession with predicting the future as it grew aggressively out of the past. To date, this obsession has yielded over thirty books and innumerable short stories, the occasional short film, nearly a dozen podcasts stretching over a decade and a half, and a career creating novels and audiobooks exploring the world through the lens of his own peculiar madness, in the depths of his own private forest in a rural exile, where he uses the quiet to write, walk on the beach, and manage a production company that brings innovative stories to the ears of audiences across the world.

Just commission an artist to produce 1 piece of art work for a flat fee. Then you get to use it anyway you want to. I’ve had success with Fiverr for this. The “Sonar” style logo at my website was done at Fiverr.

  1. With a talented artist they will offer a decent basic piece of art for the 5.00 fee which all fiverrs are based on. They will most likely also have “options” that you can pay more for such as adding a background or adding color.
    
    Depending on how complex of a book cover you want you may want to pay a Fiverr artist for the fiverr and for some of the options. Or, you can also hire two different Fiverr artists, one to do more of an over all cover design and then another to do a specific logo or illustration used in the cover. You get to make whatever deal you can finagle with them.
    
    It may take a bit more money or a bit of logistics to set it up but Fiverr is totally doable.
