Hello, I'm sorry if the information is already out there but I'm finding it difficult to research this... I have an idea for a tarot deck/accompanying book that I'm trying to get an artist friend of mine on board for. I'm more interested in the overall concept and the writing side of things since I lack the visual skills, and I don't think I can convince this friend to pursue it with me unless they know there is actually a profit to be made. I'd rather not hire a freelancer mostly because I can't really afford it right now lol but also I know we'd make a good team. Obviously we'd be splitting the profits, although I'm pretty clueless on the process and legalities of that as well.
So I'm wondering, assuming we actually pursue this what is the best route to take with publishing? I know there are on demand publishing sites for tarot decks like TGC, and there's the option of self-publishing an ebook with Amazon or something similar, but I need an option that works with both... I wouldn't even know where to begin looking into the costs, pros and cons, etc. of finding a publisher to mass produce everything. So any knowledge or advice is greatly appreciated!
