How Much Would You Pay For a Worldbuilding Workbook?

So, I was workshopping this with the @ForumStaff, but I think I should open it up to the rest of the Forums.

I am creating a workbook on worldbuilding! This is the first in a series of workbooks I’m going to be creating to help everyone! It’s going to be at least 50 pages long. At the moment, I haven’t even done half and it’s already over 30 pages, so it’s probably going to be more than that.

I’d love to know how much you’re willing to pay for a workbook like this! It will be on my website and you can print it out as many times as you need. There will also be a dyslexia-friendly version. Here are some images for you to see what it looks like at the moment!

So, how much would you be willing to pay for a 50+ page workbook like this?

It would mostly depend on how much new information it would offer to me.
Workbooks like that cost around 15€ most of the time here, so I guess that would be a fair price? :eyes:

You think so? I thought originally that it would be about 5-6 pages, but the more I wrote, the longer it became! I’m so excited for it to be huuge

15 is a great price, because it means that by selling 20 a month, we pay for the Forums AND give me an extra 20 :eyes:

maybe have some activities that could help inspire people and come up with ideas? add some examples, if needed have some extra questions to boost the ideas.

now if I would use it.:

i mean maybe, but i find that planning can take the fun out of things. Maybe plan like ‘oh i want this ending and this beginning’ and mabe how i want to get ot there but writing is fun to me cause its all from my tiny head and it comes to me as i write then its gets good. i enjoy the moment and add things off the top of my head, maybe jot down future events. so maybe i would use this, but not alot

oh shizz really?!

Maybe if you get enough money from online you should maybe try making and selling book copies. Just an idea though, I dunno how it would work out.

I’d love to do that! Even if it’s just like a spiral-bound version that I can bind myself, rather than a paperback or hardback version

Yeah! And if we managed to sell 100 per month (really big stretch, though), I could realistically drop 2 jobs and still keep the Forums open

The good thing about books like this is that they’re evergreen. Yeah there are 7 different books, but there’s no reason why someone won’t find the same book next year and buy it
