Turns out that there are a lot of elements that go into getting a book self-published! I wrote, designed, illustrated, edited, and prepared 100% of the book contents myself. (And I’m really proud of myself for that!) It was important to me from the beginning that this book be something that I would want to use myself – which means a soft cover, ring binding, tabbed interior, etc. – and all of those elements are added costs. And the books also have to be produced & printed, shipped to warehouses across the world, stored in those warehouses, fulfilled and shipped to customers, and then customer service is needed to handle any issues along the way. All of this adds up to the book being pricier than a typical planner, but this ain’t your typical planner! (Also: it’s not a planner!)
